Questions come from your own PDFs, slides, notes or page photos.
Multiple choice, true/false and short answer formats are available.
Every question includes an explanation of the correct answer.
Free plan includes 3 generations per month and studying in the browser.

Example intro biology quiz questions

Which organelle carries out most of the cell's aerobic respiration in eukaryotes?The mitochondrion. It produces most of the cell's ATP through oxidative phosphorylation.

True or false: DNA replication is semiconservative.True. Each new double helix keeps one original strand and one newly made strand, as Meselson and Stahl showed.

What does RNA polymerase do during transcription?It synthesizes an RNA strand from a DNA template. It builds the RNA in the 5' to 3' direction.

In a monohybrid cross between two heterozygotes, what is the phenotypic ratio?3:1 dominant to recessive. Only one in four offspring is homozygous recessive, so it shows the recessive trait.

Why does the sodium-potassium pump require ATP?It moves sodium out and potassium in against their concentration gradients, and that movement needs energy.

Generate the full set

Three question types

Multiple choice, true/false and short answer questions, so you can test recognition and recall.

Explanations for every answer

Each question shows why the correct answer is right, so a wrong guess becomes a lesson.

Works with messy source files

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

How it works

Upload your material

Add the PDF, slides, notes or a photo of a textbook page you need to study.

Choose the question types

Pick multiple choice, true/false or short answer, or mix them in one quiz.

Take the quiz and review

Answer in the browser, read the explanations, and retry the questions you missed.

Each question comes with an explanation, so the quiz also teaches. Reading why an option is wrong helps you catch the misconception behind it, which is more useful than a bare score. You can rerun the same material later and see new questions.

Frequently asked questions

How often should I quiz myself on a chapter?

Quiz yourself once after a first read-through, then again a day or two later. Spacing the attempts out builds stronger recall than cramming the night before.

Are short answer questions better than multiple choice for studying?

Short answer questions force you to recall the answer without cues, which is harder and more revealing. Multiple choice is quicker to check and good for spotting confusion between similar terms, so mixing both works well.

Can I export the quiz to my school's learning system?

Exports to QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML are part of the Pro plan. PDF and DOCX export are included in Plus.

Do I need a credit card to try it?

No. You can start on the free plan without a credit card, which includes 3 generations per month and studying in the browser.
