Why a custom history quiz beats a ready-made set

A ready-made set rarely matches the chapter your teacher assigned, so the fastest way to prepare for an exam is a history quiz built from your own reading.

  • Questions follow the exact chapters, slides or notes you uploaded
  • Multiple choice, true/false and short answer questions with explanations
  • Flashcards with spaced repetition for dates, people and causes
  • Free plan includes 3 generations per month, with no exports

Questions from your own reading

Upload the chapter, lecture slides or notes you actually have, and the quiz is built from that material.

Multiple choice, true/false and short answer

Mix question types so you practice recognizing dates and causes as well as explaining them in your own words.

Explanations for every answer

Each question comes with a short explanation, so a wrong answer teaches you why the right one is correct.

How it works

Upload your material

Add a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text or a photo of your pages. Photos are read with text recognition.

Choose the question types

Pick multiple choice, true/false or short answer, or a mix, and set how many questions you want.

Study and review

Work through the quiz in the browser, then use flashcards with spaced repetition to revisit what you missed.

Generating questions from your notes also shows you what the material emphasizes. If your lecture slides spend three slides on the causes of a war, the quiz will ask about those causes.

Use the quiz as a loop: answer, read the explanation, then return to the questions you missed a day or two later. That spacing does more for dates and sequences than rereading the chapter.

Frequently asked questions

How many questions should a history quiz have for a unit exam?

Most unit reviews work well with 15 to 25 questions that mix multiple choice with short answer. Start from the chapter headings so every section is covered at least once.

What study method works best for memorizing historical dates and events?

Spaced repetition, where you review items just before you would forget them, beats rereading. Pair it with questions that ask why an event happened, not only when it happened.

Can I export a history quiz to Anki or Word?

Yes, the Plus plan includes PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV export. QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML export are part of the Pro plan.

Is there a free plan?
