How a multiple choice question maker builds questions
Good questions start with good source material. A multiple choice question maker reads your lecture slides or chapter notes and turns key facts into a question stem, one correct answer and plausible distractors. Each question can carry an explanation, so a wrong pick still teaches you something.
- Keep one clearly correct answer per question.
- Make distractors close to the real answer, not silly.
- Use all of the above only when the material calls for it.
- Read each explanation to confirm it matches your source.

How it works
Upload your material
Add a PDF, slide deck, document or set of notes. Photos of pages work too.
Choose question types
Pick multiple choice, true/false or short answer, then generate your set.
Review and study
Check each question and its explanation, then practice in your browser.
Review every generated question before you rely on it. Check that the stem matches your course material, that only one option is correct, and that the distractors are plausible rather than obviously wrong. Editing a few items usually takes less time than writing a full quiz from scratch.

Frequently asked questions
How many answer options should a Spanish food vocabulary question have?
Four options is a common choice, with one correct answer and three distractors drawn from other foods or food categories. Keep the options similar in length so the correct answer does not stand out.
What makes a multiple choice distractor effective?
A good distractor is a plausible wrong answer that a student who partly knows the material might pick. For vocabulary, that could be a similar food term or a word with a close English meaning.
Is there a free plan?
Yes. The free plan includes 3 generations per month and studying in the browser, but it does not include exports.
Which formats can I export to?
Plus at $39/year or $7.99/month adds PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV export. Pro at $14.99/month adds QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML export.
