Questions from your own material

Upload a PDF, PPTX, DOCX, text file or a photo of a map key and the quiz uses the countries your class actually covers.

Multiple choice, true/false and open answers

Mix question types so you practice recognizing a country on a list and also recalling its name from a clue.

Explanations after every answer

Each question shows why the correct country fits, such as its borders, capital or location, so you learn the reasoning.

How it works

Upload your material

Add a PDF, slides, notes or a photo of a page. Text recognition reads photos of pages too.

Choose the question types

Pick multiple choice, true/false or short answer, or combine them in one quiz.

Take the quiz and review

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

Generic lists often include countries you have already learned or skip the ones you keep confusing. Working from your material keeps the focus on the names, capitals and borders you need to recall.

Short, frequent sessions tend to work best for country names. Redo the questions you missed a day later, then again the following week.

Frequently asked questions

How do I memorize country names faster?

Group countries by region or by shared borders, then test yourself on one group at a time. Short daily sessions with spaced repetition usually beat one long cram.

Which countries should I learn first for a geography test?

Start with the countries your teacher lists in the course material, then the large or frequently confused ones such as neighbors in the same region. Uploading your notes shows you exactly which names appear.
