How an MCQ generator differs from a plain chat prompt

Pasting lecture notes into a chat window and asking for questions works once, but many students who use ChatGPT as an MCQ generator end up re-pasting material and rewriting prompts for every chapter. A purpose-built tool keeps the source attached, so each question is drafted from your own slides or PDF.

Drafts multiple-choice questions from your own uploaded material
Adds an explanation to each question so you learn from wrong answers
Lets you choose multiple-choice, true/false or short-answer formats
Exports to PDF, DOCX, Anki or CSV on Plus, with QTI and Moodle XML on Pro

Example checks for AI-drafted MCQs

Why should every answer option match the grammar of the question stem?Students can eliminate options that do not fit the sentence, so mismatched grammar gives away the answer without real knowledge.

What makes a distractor plausible?It reflects a common misconception or a near-miss value, so only students who understand the concept can rule it out.

Why avoid 'all of the above' as an answer option?Students can often guess it by spotting two correct options, so it measures test-taking strategy rather than knowledge.

What should you check first in an AI-drafted MCQ?Verify the keyed answer against your source, because a model can mark a wrong option as correct with confident wording.

Why include an explanation with each answer?It shows why the correct option is right and why common wrong choices fail, which turns a missed question into a study point.
