How to turn a PDF into a quiz

Students often end up with a 40-page chapter the night before an exam. Converting a PDF into a quiz lets you test yourse`lf on the material instead of rereading it, which is one of the most reliable ways to find gaps.

  • Start with one chapter or lecture rather than the whole course.
  • Answer from memory before checking the explanation.
  • Redo missed questions after a day to test long-term recall.
  • Build a new quiz from the next section once you score well.

Reads PDFs, slides and photos

Upload a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text file or a photo of a page. Text in images is read with text recognition, so scanned handouts work too.

Three question formats

Study in the browser

Take the quiz on any device right after it is generated. Free accounts can study in the browser; exports to PDF and DOCX are part of Plus.

How it works

Upload your material

Add a PDF, slides or notes from the chapter or lecture you are studying.

Choose question types

Pick multiple-choice, true/false, short answer or a mix, then generate the quiz.

Answer and review

Work through the questions, read the explanations for anything you missed, and retake the weak spots.

A useful quiz covers definitions, cause and effect, and the exceptions your instructor is likely to test. Mixing multiple-choice with true/false and short answer questions shows whether you can recall facts and explain them.

Start with the free plan to try your own material. If you want to export the quiz for a class or LMS, Plus and Pro include those options.

Frequently asked questions

How many questions should a quiz cover for one chapter?

Around 10 to 20 questions is enough to cover the main ideas of a typical chapter. Focus on the terms, processes and comparisons your instructor emphasized in class.

What makes a good quiz question for studying?

A good question tests one idea and has a clear correct answer. Short answer questions are strongest for checking whether you can explain a concept in your own words.

Is converting a PDF into a quiz really free?

The free plan includes 3 generations per month and studying in the browser. Exports to PDF and DOCX require Plus at $39/year or $7.99/month, which also gives unlimited generations.

Can I export the quiz to Moodle or QTI?

Yes, but only on the Pro plan at $14.99/month, which includes QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML export. Free accounts cannot export.
