How the free generator works with your own PDFs

Reading a 40-page chapter and writing twenty questions by hand can eat an evening. A free multiple choice generator from PDF makes the first draft in minutes, so your time goes into checking the questions rather than writing them.

Questions are built from the text you upload, so the quiz stays on topic.
Each answer choice gets an explanation you can review after answering.
The free plan includes 3 generations per month and browser study.
Plus adds unlimited generations and PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV export.

Example Cold War multiple choice questions

Which 1948 to 1949 event tested the Western powers' resolve over Berlin?The Soviet blockade of West Berlin, answered by the Western airlift of supplies, showed the Allies would sustain the city rather than withdraw.

Why was NATO founded in 1949?Collective defense against Soviet aggression, since under Article 5 an attack on one member is treated as an attack on all.

What did the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis resolve?Soviet missiles were removed from Cuba in exchange for a US pledge not to invade Cuba, and US missiles were later removed from Turkey, because both sides wanted to avoid nuclear war.

What was the Marshall Plan?US economic aid to Western Europe from 1948 to rebuild economies and limit the spread of communism, because stable economies were seen as a bulwark against Soviet influence.

What did the 1975 Helsinki Accords establish?Recognition of postwar European borders alongside human rights commitments, which dissidents later used to press their governments to meet those pledges.

Because the questions come from your own material, you get a quiz on your lecture rather than a generic printable that may not match what you were taught.

Frequently asked questions

How many multiple choice questions should a chapter have?

Aim for roughly one question per key term, date or cause-and-effect point, which often means 15 to 25 for a 20-page chapter. Dense chapters may need more, while short reading assignments may need fewer.

What makes a good wrong answer in a multiple choice question?

Distractors should be plausible and come from the same topic, such as a real event from the wrong decade, so only careful reading picks out the correct option. Avoid obvious choices like all of the above or an answer that is far longer than the others.

Is the multiple choice generator really free?

The free plan gives you 3 generations per month, study in the browser, and no credit card is needed to start. Exports are part of the paid Plus plan.

Can I export generated questions to Anki or a learning platform?

Anki and CSV export, along with PDF and DOCX, are available on Plus at $39/year or $7.99/month. QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML export are included with Pro at $14.99/month.
