Frequently asked questions

What age is a history quiz with answers suitable for?

It depends on the reading level of your material. Quizzes built from Year 3 to Year 6 topics usually work well with short questions and clear explanations, and you can edit the wording before using them.

How many questions should a kids' history quiz have?

Ten to fifteen questions is a practical length for one sitting, and mixing multiple choice with true or false keeps younger pupils engaged. Shorter quizzes work well for reviewing a single topic.

Can I export the quiz to PDF?

Yes, on the Plus plan at $39 a year or $7.99 a month, which also includes DOCX export. The free plan lets you study in the browser but does not include exports.

Do I need a credit card to start?

No. You can start on the free plan without a credit card, and students get 40% off with a school email.
