An online quiz maker for students that starts from your own notes
Upload a PDF, slide deck or photo of your notes and get practice questions with explanations for every answer, ready to study in your browser.
How to choose an online quiz maker for students
Most quiz tools make you type every question by hand, which eats the time you meant to spend studying. A good online quiz maker for students starts from the material you already have, such as lecture slides, a textbook chapter saved as a PDF or a photo of your notes, and writes the questions for you.
- Accepts PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text notes and photos of pages
- Multiple-choice, true/false and short-answer questions in one set
- Explanations for each answer so wrong responses still teach something
- Free plan includes 3 generations a month, studied in the browser
Works from your own material
Upload PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text notes or photos of pages. Questions come from what your class actually covered.
Three question types
Get multiple-choice, true/false and short-answer questions, so you can test recognition and recall in the same set.
Explanations on every answer
Each question includes a short explanation, so a wrong answer teaches you why the right one is correct.
How it works
Upload your notes
Add a PDF, slides, a DOCX file or a photo of a page. Text recognition reads the photo.
Pick question types
Choose multiple-choice, true/false or short-answer questions for the quiz you need.
Study and retake
Work through the quiz, read the explanations, then retake the questions you missed.
Look for explanations on every answer, not just a score. When a question is wrong, the explanation shows the reasoning behind the right answer, which is where most of the learning happens. The free plan lets you study quizzes in the browser, while PDF and DOCX export come with Plus, and QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML export come with Pro.

Frequently asked questions
How many practice questions should I do per study session?
There is no single right number, but shorter sessions with a mix of question types tend to work better than one long run. Retake the questions you missed until they feel easy.
What makes a good quiz question for studying?
A good question tests one idea and asks you to recall or apply it, rather than recognize a phrase from the text. Check that the explanation gives the reason behind the answer.
Can I export my quizzes to Moodle?
Moodle XML and QTI 2.1 export are included in the Pro plan at $14.99 per month. PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV export are part of Plus, at $99.90 per year or $9.99 per month.
Is there a free way to try it first?
Yes. The free plan includes 3 generations per month and studying in the browser, and no credit card is needed to start. Exports require a paid plan.
