How an MCQ generator from notes works

If you already have lecture notes and want practice questions from them, rewriting each point as a question by hand takes longer than the studying itself. An MCQ generator from notes reads your material and drafts questions with answer choices and explanations, so you can start testing yourself right away.

Turns PDFs, DOCX, PPTX slides, plain text and photos of pages into quiz questions
Produces multiple-choice, true/false and short answer questions with explanations
Lets you review and edit every question before you study
Exports to PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV on paid plans, with QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML on Pro

Example electric circuits practice questions

In a series circuit with identical bulbs, how does the current at the battery compare with the current through each bulb?It is the same everywhere, because a series circuit has only one path for charge to flow along.

True or false: adding a second resistor in parallel with the first always lowers the total resistance.True. Parallel branches give charge more paths, so the equivalent resistance is lower than the smallest branch resistance.

Two 6 ohm resistors are connected in series across a 12 V battery. What current flows through them?1 A, because the total resistance is 12 ohms and I = V/R gives 12 V divided by 12 ohms.

In a parallel circuit connected to a 9 V battery, what is the voltage across each branch?9 V, because each parallel branch is connected directly across the same two points as the battery.

What does a fuse do when the current in a circuit exceeds its rating?It melts and opens the circuit, because the excess current would otherwise overheat the wires.

Generate the full set

Works from your own material

Upload PDFs, DOCX, PPTX slides, plain text or photos of pages. Text in images is read with text recognition, so handwritten-to-typed notes can be used too.

Three question types

Get multiple-choice, true/false and short answer questions from the same source. Mix formats to test recall and application.

Explanations for every answer

Each question comes with a short explanation of why the correct answer is right, so missed items become study moments.

How it works

Upload your notes

Add a PDF, slide deck, DOCX file or pasted text. No credit card is needed to start.

Review the questions

Check each generated item against your notes, edit wording or remove anything off-topic.

Study or export

Practice in the browser on the free plan, or export to PDF, DOCX, Anki, QTI or Moodle XML on a paid plan.

Questions are built from your own files, so the quiz follows your course rather than a generic textbook. Review each item before studying, delete anything that does not match your lecture, and generate a fresh set if you want a different mix. Short, frequent quiz sessions usually help more than one long cram session before an exam.

Frequently asked questions

What should my electric circuits practice questions cover?

Cover each core concept in your notes, such as series and parallel connections, Ohm's law and power, rather than aiming for a fixed total. Include both calculation items and conceptual questions about how current and voltage behave.

What is the best way to study circuit problems from MCQs?

Work each problem before looking at the answer choices, then read the explanation even when you guessed correctly. Redo missed questions later to check the reasoning, not just which letter was right.

Can I export generated MCQs to Moodle or QTI format?

Yes, QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML export are included on the Pro plan at $14.99 per month. The free plan does not include exports.

Is there a free plan, and what does Plus add?

The free plan includes 3 generations per month and studying in the browser, without exports. Plus costs $39 per year or $7.99 per month and adds unlimited generations plus PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV export.
