Frequently asked questions

How many questions should a Jeopardy-style review round include?

A common layout is five categories with five clues each, rising in difficulty from the first row to the last. That gives a full round of about 25 questions, which is a manageable length for one class period.

How can I study Jeopardy-style questions more effectively?

Try to answer each question from memory before checking the explanation, and go back to the questions you missed after a day or two. Repeated recall works better than rereading the same notes.

Can I export my quiz on the free plan?

No. The free plan lets you study in the browser with 3 generations a month, but exports are a paid feature. Plus at $99.90/year or $9.99/month includes PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV export.

Which plan includes QTI and Moodle XML export?

QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML export are part of the Pro plan at $14.99/month. Pro also includes a stronger AI model and bulk upload.
