Why build your own quiz instead of browsing ready-made kits

Browsing a public library for a gimkit discover style quiz is quick, but the questions rarely match your syllabus, your textbook, or the way your teacher worded things. A quiz built from your own PDFs, slides or notes covers exactly what you will be tested on.

Questions drawn only from the files you upload
Multiple-choice, true/false and open questions in one set
An explanation for every answer, right or wrong
Free to start with no credit card required

Frequently asked questions

How should I study a set of historical discoveries for an exam?

Group the discoveries by field and decade, and note who made each one and why it mattered. Quiz yourself on the connections between discoveries, not only on names and dates.

What is the best way to remember scientific discoveries?

Use short, active recall: test yourself on the discoverer, the year, and the key evidence, then space your reviews over several days. Explaining each discovery in your own words helps it stick.

Can I export my quiz?

Yes, on paid plans. Plus includes PDF and DOCX export, and Pro adds QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML export for learning management systems.

Is there a free plan?

Yes. The free plan gives you 3 generations per month and lets you study in the browser, but it does not include exports. No credit card is needed to start.
