How an exam generator from notes helps you prepare

Before a midterm or final, the hardest part is often turning weeks of lecture notes into questions you can actually answer. An exam generator from notes does that drafting step for you, so your study time goes into answering questions instead of writing them.

Questions come from your own notes, slides and readings, not generic topic lists.
Multiple-choice, true/false and short answer formats let you practice recall and recognition.
Explanations show the reasoning behind each correct answer, not just the letter.
Free plan users get 3 generations per month and can study the results in the browser.

Example exam questions from intro biology notes

Which organelle produces most of a cell's ATP?Mitochondria. They carry out most of cellular respiration, where the energy in glucose is converted into ATP.

True or false: DNA replication is semiconservative.True. Each new double helix keeps one original strand and pairs it with one newly synthesized strand.

What do the Calvin cycle reactions use ATP and NADPH to do?Fix carbon dioxide into sugar. The energy carriers from the light reactions reduce CO2 into G3P, which is then used to build carbohydrates.

Which phase of mitosis lines the chromosomes up at the cell's equator?Metaphase. Spindle fibers attach to kinetochores and align the chromosomes along the metaphase plate.

Why does an enzyme slow down above its optimal temperature?Heat disrupts the enzyme's three-dimensional shape, so the active site no longer fits the substrate well.

Explanations for every answer

Each question comes with an explanation of why the correct answer is right, so you can see where your reasoning went wrong before exam day.

Works from messy source files

Upload PDFs, DOCX or PPTX files, plain text notes, or photos of handwritten pages that are read with text recognition.

How it works

Upload your notes

Add a PDF, slide deck, Word file, pasted text or a photo of your pages. Everything you study from can become part of the exam.

Generate the exam

Choose question types and let the AI write the questions with correct answers and explanations based on your material.

Sit the practice exam

Take the exam in your browser, review each explanation, and regenerate with fresh questions whenever you want another round.

A practice exam built from your own material tests what your instructor is likely to ask, because it draws on the same slides and readings. Working through explanations for wrong answers is where most of the learning happens, and you can repeat the exam with new questions until the material feels familiar.
