Most quiz questions on a film or a course reading are easier to write from your own notes than from a generic list. If you took notes on scenes, characters or themes, those notes can become the source for the questions.

Start with the sections you find hardest to remember, then mix in questions that ask why something happened. Short answer questions are useful for checking understanding, while true/false works well for quick recall.
