A custom MCQ set from your own PDF beats a generic printable

Most printable quizzes are generic, so they miss what your class actually covered. A PDF MCQ generator reads your own lecture PDF, textbook chapter or handout and writes multiple-choice questions that match it. You upload the file, pick the question types, and get questions with explanations you can check against the source.

  • Works with PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text notes and photos of pages
  • Multiple choice, true/false and short answer with explanations
  • PDF and DOCX export on Plus; QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML on Pro
  • Free plan: 3 generations a month, no credit card needed

Frequently asked questions

How many multiple-choice questions should I write for World War II major events?

Start with 10 to 15 questions covering the main turning points, such as the invasion of Poland, Pearl Harbor, D-Day and the surrender of Japan. Add a few true/false items on causes and outcomes so you test understanding, not only dates.

How can I study World War II events using practice questions?

Answer a set without notes, then read the explanation for each question you missed. Repeat the missed questions after a day or two, since spacing helps recall.

PDF and DOCX export is included in Plus at $39/year or $7.99/month. QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML export are part of the Pro plan at $14.99/month.
