Why build practice exams from your own notes

Writing a fair exam from a 60-slide deck or a semester of notes takes hours, and most of that time goes into finding the points worth testing. A exam generator that starts from your own material removes that step and keeps the questions tied to what your instructor actually covered.

Test yourself under timed, closed-book conditions before the real exam.
Mix question types so you practice both recall and applying concepts.
Re-generate from updated slides when your instructor adds new material.
Review explanations for correct answers too, not just the ones you missed.

Example intro biology exam questions

Which organelle produces most of a cell's ATP?Mitochondria. Their inner membrane hosts the electron transport chain, which drives most ATP synthesis.

True or false: DNA replication is semiconservative.True. Each new double helix keeps one original strand and builds one new strand.

What is the main job of red blood cells?Carrying oxygen from the lungs to body tissues, using the iron-containing protein hemoglobin.

Why does enzyme activity drop sharply above its optimal temperature?Excess heat denatures the enzyme's protein structure, so the active site no longer fits its substrate.

Which phase of mitosis pulls sister chromatids to opposite poles?Anaphase. Spindle fibers shorten and pull the separated chromatids toward opposite ends of the cell.

Generate the full set

Three question types

Multiple-choice, true/false and short answer questions, so you can test recall and reasoning in the same set.

Explanations on every answer

Each question includes a short explanation, so a wrong answer becomes a lesson instead of a dead end.

Exports for paid plans

Plus exports to PDF and DOCX. Pro adds QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML for importing into your learning system.

How it works

Upload your material

Add a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, text file or photos of pages. Text in images is read with text recognition.

Choose the format

Pick multiple-choice, true/false or open questions and set how many you want.

Practice or export

Work through the exam in your browser, or export it on a paid plan to print or import elsewhere.

Generated questions work best when you treat them as a rehearsal. Answer the set without looking at your notes, then read every explanation, including the ones for questions you got right, to confirm your reasoning.

You can generate a new set from the same material whenever you want fresh questions, so the practice does not run out after a single pass.

Frequently asked questions

How many questions should a practice exam have?

Twenty to forty questions is a useful range for most chapter or unit exams, because it covers the main ideas without taking longer than a study session. Shorter sets of ten work well for quick daily review.

How should I study for an exam using generated questions?

Attempt the full set before checking any answers, then sort the misses into concepts you never learned and ones you misread. Retake the questions you missed after a day or two, since spacing your review improves retention.

Do I need a paid plan to export the exam?

Yes. The free plan lets you study in the browser, while Plus adds PDF and DOCX export and Pro adds QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML export. Starting is free and does not require a credit card.

Can students get a discount?

Students with a school email get 40% off paid plans. You can start on the free plan with no credit card first.
