Example water cycle multiple choice questions
Which process turns liquid water into water vapor using energy from the sun?Evaporation. Solar energy warms surface water until its molecules have enough energy to rise into the air.
What is the name for water vapor released from plant leaves into the atmosphere?Transpiration. Plants draw water up through their roots and lose it through small pores in their leaves.
Where is most of Earth's surface water stored?In the oceans. They hold about 96 percent of the planet's water, so they supply most of the evaporation.
Which process forms clouds by cooling water vapor into tiny liquid droplets?Condensation. Cooler air cannot hold as much vapor, so the vapor turns into droplets that gather into clouds.
What is the term for water that falls from clouds as rain, snow, sleet or hail?Precipitation. It returns water from the atmosphere to the land, rivers and oceans.

Questions from your material

Upload PDFs, DOCX files, PPTX slides, plain text or photos of pages. The questions come from your own content, not a generic question bank.

Explanations for every answer

Each question includes a short explanation of why the correct option is right, so you learn from wrong answers as well as right ones.

Export when you need it

Plus exports to PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV. 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. You can also photograph a page and the text will be read.

Choose the question types

Pick multiple choice, true/false or open questions, then set how many you want for the topic.

Review and study

Check the generated questions and explanations, then practice in the browser or export them.

Good questions still need review. Read through each one, remove any that test trivia you do not need, and check that the wrong options are plausible rather than obviously false. Repeating the quiz over several days works better than one long session.

Frequently asked questions

How many multiple choice questions should I answer in one study session?

Ten to twenty questions on one topic is a practical range for a single sitting. Start with the sections you find hardest so your practice time goes where it is needed most.

How do I write good wrong answers for multiple choice questions?

Make each distractor plausible, such as a common misconception or a term from the same topic. Keep the answer lengths similar so the correct option does not stand out.

Can I export the questions to other tools?

Yes, Plus exports to PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV. Pro adds QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML export for learning management systems.

Is there a free plan?

The free plan includes 3 generations per month and studying in the browser, but exports are not included. Students with a school email get 40 percent off, and no credit card is needed to start.
