Multiple-choice, true/false and open questions drawn from your own notes or slides
Explanations for every answer, so missed questions teach you something
Works with photos of textbook pages through text recognition
Retake the quiz over several days to strengthen recall before the exam

Frequently asked questions

How many questions should a medieval history quiz have?

Eight to fifteen questions cover a single unit well, enough to test dates, people and causes without overwhelming a session. Make a shorter quiz after each lecture and a longer one before the exam.

How should I study medieval history for a test?

Focus on causes and consequences, not dates alone, such as how the Black Death changed wages or why feudal ties weakened royal power. Quiz yourself on the same material several times across several days.

Can I export the quiz?

Yes, Plus lets you export to PDF and DOCX, and Pro adds QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML. The free plan lets you study in the browser without exports.

Does it work with photos of textbook pages?

Yes, photos of pages are read with text recognition, so you can upload a snapshot of a chapter. Check the generated questions against the source before relying on them for graded work.
