Frequently asked questions
How many questions should a classroom quiz on cell structure have?
A short review quiz of 10 to 15 questions usually covers one topic well without running long. Split larger units into several quizzes so each one stays focused.
What makes a good multiple-choice question?
Write one clearly correct answer and plausible distractors based on common misconceptions, such as confusing mitochondria with chloroplasts. Keep the answer choices similar in length so the correct one does not stand out.
Is it free to create a quiz?
The free plan includes 3 generations per month and studying in the browser, but exports are paid features. Plus adds unlimited generations and PDF or DOCX export for $39 per year or $7.99 per month.
Can I export a quiz to Moodle or QTI?
Moodle XML and QTI 2.1 export are included on the Pro plan at $14.99 per month. Students with a school email get 40% off plans.
