  • Questions drawn only from the unit you uploaded, not from unrelated sources
  • Explanations that show the reasoning behind each correct answer
  • Free plan with 3 generations per month and browser-based study
  • Paid plans add unlimited generations and PDF or DOCX export

Frequently asked questions

How can a Year 9 student revise history effectively?

Short quizzes repeated over several days work better than one long cram session. Reading the explanation after each wrong answer fixes misunderstandings before the test.

What should a Year 9 history quiz cover?

Focus on key dates, causes and consequences, and the people involved, as set out in your unit's learning objectives. Mix recall questions with a few that ask why something happened.

Can I export a quiz to Word or PDF?

Yes, PDF and DOCX export are included in the Plus plan, which costs $39 per year or $7.99 per month. The free plan lets you study in the browser without exports.

Is there a free way to try it?
