Frequently asked questions

How should I study history at a medium difficulty level?

Focus on why events happened and how they connected, not only on when they happened. Practice comparing two causes or explaining a consequence, and include some short-answer questions so you practice explaining rather than just recognizing answers.

How many questions should a history quiz have for review?

A set of 10 to 20 questions per unit is a manageable review session for most students. Smaller sets make it easier to find the gaps you need to fix.

Can I export the quiz to PDF or DOCX?

Yes, PDF and DOCX export are available on the Plus plan at $39/year or $7.99/month. The free plan lets you study in the browser without exports.

Is there a free plan, and do I need a credit card?

Yes, the free plan includes 3 generations per month and browser study, and no credit card is needed to start. Students with a school email get 40% off paid plans.
