Turn your notes into a printable test, free online
Need a printable quiz for class? Upload your own PDF, slides or notes and get questions with explanations, then study free in the browser.
Why build a custom test instead of searching for a template
Teachers and tutors often need a printable test tied to one chapter, and a free online test maker can produce one from the exact material being taught. Ready-made worksheets rarely match what was covered in class, so starting from your own notes keeps the questions relevant.

Questions from your own material
Upload a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain notes or a photo of a page, and get multiple-choice, true/false or short-answer questions.
Explanations for every answer
Each question comes with a short explanation so students learn why an answer is right, not just which letter to pick.
Export when you need a printout
Study free in the browser. PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV export are included on the Plus plan.
How it works
Upload your notes
Add a PDF, slides, a Word file or a photo of a page.
Choose question types

Review, then export

Frequently asked questions
How many questions should a Spanish food vocabulary test include?
Ten to fifteen questions cover a typical unit well without overwhelming students. Mix word recognition with a few true/false items about gender, such as whether pan is masculine.
How should I study Spanish food vocabulary before a test?
Start by saying each word aloud with its article, such as el queso or la manzana. Then quiz yourself in both directions, Spanish to English and English to Spanish, until both feel automatic.
Can I export a printable test for free?
The free plan lets you generate 3 times per month and study in the browser, but exports are not included. PDF export is part of the Plus plan at $39/year or $7.99/month.
