Why teachers and students use an MCQ generator website

Teachers and tutors often rewrite the same quiz from scratch every term, and students often need a practice set before an exam that nobody has written yet. A MCQ generator website solves that by reading the material you already have.

Multiple-choice, true/false and open questions from one upload
Explanations written for each answer, not just the correct letter
Photos of textbook pages read with text recognition
Exports to PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV on Plus, and QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML on Pro

Frequently asked questions

How many questions should a Civil War quiz include?

What should I focus on when studying the American Civil War?

Start with the causes, the major turning points such as Gettysburg and Vicksburg, and the outcome of Reconstruction. Practice connecting each event to its cause and its result, not just memorizing dates.

Can I export the questions to Moodle?

Moodle XML export is included in the Pro plan at $14.99 per month. Plus, at $99.90 per year or $9.99 per month, includes PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV export.
