Mix of question types

Create multiple choice, true/false and short answer questions from the same material, each with an explanation.

Built from your own material

Upload PDFs, DOCX, PPTX, plain text notes or photos of pages, and the questions come from that content.

Answers you can check

Every question shows the correct answer and a one-sentence reason, so you can see why it is right or wrong.

How it works

Upload your notes

Add a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, text notes or a photo of your textbook pages.

Choose question types

Pick multiple choice, true/false or short answer questions for your quiz.

Study and review

Work through the quiz, then read the explanation for every question you missed.

Match the question type to how you will be tested. Multiple choice works well for dates, names and events, true/false checks cause and effect claims, and short answer forces you to explain a turning point in your own words. Start with 10 to 15 questions and retake any you miss.

Study the explanations, not just the score. When an answer surprises you, reread that section of your notes so the correction sticks.
