Why a custom quiz works better than a generic one

Searching the web for a ready-made World Book Day quiz usually turns up generic questions that may not match the books your class has been reading. A quiz built from your own reading list, author notes or class slides tests the material pupils actually covered.

Works from PDFs, slides, DOCX files, notes and photos of pages
Creates multiple-choice, true/false and open questions with explanations
Free plan includes 3 generations per month and browser study
Paid plans add exports to PDF, DOCX and Anki, and Pro adds QTI and Moodle XML
