How a free quiz maker fits your study routine
A quiz built from your own lecture slides tests what you were actually taught, which is why a free quiz maker that reads your files is more useful than a generic question bank. The free plan includes 3 generations per month, and you can take each quiz in the browser.
- Multiple-choice, true/false and short answer question types
- Explanations that show why each answer is correct or incorrect
- Quizzes generated from PDFs, DOCX, PPTX, notes and photos of pages
- Free plan with 3 generations per month and no credit card needed
Built from your material
Questions come from the files you upload, so the quiz covers what your course actually taught.
Explanations for every answer
Each question shows why the correct answer is right, so a missed question becomes a lesson.
Study in the browser
Take quizzes on the free plan without installing anything. Exports are available on paid plans.

Frequently asked questions
How many quiz questions should I make from one chapter?
Most chapters work well with 10 to 20 questions, which is enough to cover the key terms and ideas without repeating yourself. Shorter quizzes are useful for daily review.
What makes a good wrong answer in a multiple-choice quiz?
Distractors should be plausible answers a student could confuse with the correct one, such as a related term or a common misconception. Obviously wrong options test very little.
Can I export my quiz to PDF or DOCX on the free plan?
No. The free plan lets you study in the browser, and PDF and DOCX export start with Plus.
Can I export quizzes to Moodle or QTI?
Yes. QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML export are part of the Pro plan at $14.99 per month.
