How a free quiz from your own document works

Most quizzes online are written for someone else's course. A free quiz generator from a document builds questions from the exact pages you need to learn, which is useful when your professor's lecture slides or your textbook chapter is the only source that counts.

Start free with 3 generations per month and no credit card.
Study the quiz in the browser right away, with explanations for each answer.
Use one chapter or lecture per upload for more targeted questions.
Check the first few questions against your source before relying on the full set.

Example cell biology quiz questions (sample topic)

Which organelle produces most of a cell's ATP through cellular respiration?The mitochondrion. Its matrix and inner membrane host the citric acid cycle and the electron transport chain, where most ATP is made.

True or false: prokaryotic cells have a membrane-bound nucleus.False. Bacteria store their DNA in a nucleoid region that is not enclosed by a nuclear membrane.

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

What property of the cell membrane's phospholipid bilayer controls what passes through it?Selective permeability. The hydrophobic fatty acid tails block most charged and polar molecules from crossing freely.

During photosynthesis, which molecule is split to release oxygen?Water. The light-dependent reactions split H2O at photosystem II and release O2 as a byproduct.

How it works

Upload your document

Add a PDF, Word file, slide deck or set of notes from class or work.

Pick your question types

Choose multiple-choice, true/false or short answer, then generate the quiz.

Take the quiz and review

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

The quality of a generated quiz depends on the source. Clean PDFs and typed notes give the best questions. Scanned pages work too, but check that the text reads correctly before you start. Short, focused documents, such as one chapter at a time, tend to produce sharper questions than a 300-page book.

The free plan includes 3 generations per month and studying in the browser. If you need to export the quiz to PDF or DOCX, or move questions into another system, those options are on the Plus plan.

Frequently asked questions

How many questions should a quiz on one chapter include?

Ten to twenty questions usually cover one chapter well enough to spot gaps. Shorter quizzes are faster to repeat, which helps more when you are studying cell biology or any other topic over several sessions.

What makes a good quiz question for studying a document?

A good question tests one idea and has a single clear answer, such as a definition, a process step or a cause and effect relationship. Explanations that name why the wrong options fail are the most useful part of the review.

Is the free quiz generator really free?

Yes, the free plan includes 3 generations per month and studying in the browser, with no credit card needed to start. Exports are a paid feature.

Can I export a generated quiz?

Exports to PDF and DOCX are included on the Plus plan at $39/year or $7.99/month, and Pro adds QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML export at $14.99/month. Students get 40% off with a school email.
