Turn your notes into a printable MCQ sheet
Upload lecture slides, PDFs or class notes and get multiple-choice, true/false or short-answer questions with explanations. Study them in the browser or export when you need a paper copy.
Why a custom MCQ sheet beats a generic one
An MCQ sheet generator is most useful when the questions come from the exact material you are studying, such as your lecture slides or textbook chapter. A generic printable sheet may cover topics your course skipped and miss the ones your instructor emphasized.
- Upload lecture slides, PDFs, DOCX files or photos of pages
- Get multiple-choice, true/false or short-answer questions
- Read an explanation for every answer, right or wrong
- Export to PDF or DOCX on the Plus plan
Built from your material
Upload PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text or photos of pages. The questions come from what you actually need to learn, not a generic bank.
Explanations for every answer
Each question includes an explanation, so a wrong pick becomes a short lesson on why the other options fail.
Export when you need paper
Plus includes PDF and DOCX export. Pro adds QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML for course platforms.
How it works
Upload your notes
Add a PDF, slide deck, document or text file. Photos of printed pages are read with text recognition.
Choose the question types
Pick multiple-choice, true/false or short-answer questions, then generate the set.
Study or export
Work through the questions in the browser, or export to PDF or DOCX on Plus to print a sheet.
Good practice sheets mix recall and application, and every answer should come with a reason. Generating a fresh set from your own notes also means you can make a new sheet before each exam instead of reusing the same questions.

Frequently asked questions
How many questions should a practice MCQ sheet include for intro biology?
Ten to twenty questions cover one chapter well enough for a quick self-check. Longer sets work better when you split them across several study sessions.
What makes a multiple-choice question useful for studying?
Strong wrong answers reflect common mistakes, such as confusing mitosis with meiosis, instead of options that are obviously false. Reading the explanation for each choice shows you why the correct answer holds.
Can I export the generated questions to PDF?
Yes, PDF and DOCX export are included on the Plus plan at $39/year or $7.99/month. The free plan includes 3 generations per month and browser study, but no exports.
