How an AI quiz for students works
Most students write their own practice questions the night before an exam, which is slow and often misses the parts the teacher will test. An AI quiz for students starts from the material you already have, so the questions match your course rather than a generic textbook.
- Questions drawn only from the file you upload
- Explanations for right and wrong answers
- Photos of pages read with text recognition
- No credit card needed to start
Multiple-choice, true/false and short answer
Pick the question style that fits the topic. Each question includes an explanation of the correct answer.
Built from your own material
Upload PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text or photos of pages. Photos are read with text recognition.
Export when you need it
Save as PDF or DOCX on the Plus plan. Pro adds QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML for course platforms.

Frequently asked questions
How many practice questions should I answer from one chapter?
Aim for about 15 to 25 questions per chapter, then retake the ones you missed the next day. Answering before you check the explanation tends to work better than rereading notes.
Is a quiz better than flashcards for high school biology?
Quizzes are good for applying ideas, such as predicting what happens when a cell loses water. Flashcards suit memorizing terms, so using both covers more of the material.
Can I export the quiz to Word or Moodle?
PDF and DOCX export are included in the Plus plan at $39 per year or $7.99 per month. QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML export are available on the Pro plan at $14.99 per month.
Do I need a credit card to try it?
No. The Free plan includes 3 generations per month and studying in the browser, and students get 40% off with a school email.
