Build a general knowledge quiz from your own material

A ready-made trivia sheet rarely fits the class you teach, so a general knowledge quiz for teachers with answers works better when it is built from your own notes, slides or PDFs.

Questions drawn from the material you upload, not a generic bank
Answer key and explanation included with each question
Free plan covers 3 generations a month, studied in the browser
Plus and Pro add exports for PDF, DOCX, Moodle XML and QTI 2.1

Frequently asked questions

How many questions should a general knowledge quiz for teachers have?

Five to ten questions suits a short warm-up, while a longer staff session may need 20 or more. Generate a set, then remove any items that do not fit your audience.

How do I check the answers on a general knowledge quiz?

Read each explanation before you use the quiz, since it shows why the correct option is right and the others are not. Verify facts that change over time, such as recent records or statistics.

Can I export the quiz to PDF or Moodle?

PDF and DOCX export are included in Plus, and QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML export are available on Pro. The free plan lets you study in the browser but does not include exports.

Does the free plan include unlimited quizzes?

No. The free plan includes 3 generations per month, and Plus removes that limit for $99.90 a year or $9.99 a month. Students with a school email get 40 percent off, and no credit card is needed to start.
