Why a custom weekly history quiz works better than a printable set

Teachers and students often need a weekly history quiz that covers only what was assigned that week, and printable sets rarely match the readings, slides or lecture notes in front of you.

Upload the week's readings, slides or lecture notes in one place.
Mix multiple choice, true/false and short-answer questions in one quiz.
Read an explanation for each answer, right or wrong, before moving on.
Export to PDF or DOCX on Plus, or to QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML on Pro.

Frequently asked questions

How many questions should a weekly history quiz have?

Five to ten questions usually cover one week of reading well. Mixing dates, causes and short explanations tests understanding better than memorizing names alone.

How can I study for a weekly history quiz more effectively?

Yes, but exports are paid features. PDF and DOCX export are on Plus at $99.90/year or $9.99/month, and QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML export are on Pro at $14.99/month.
