How the multiple choice test generator works

Writing a fair multiple choice test takes time, especially when the source is a 60-slide deck. This multiple choice test generator reads your PDF, DOCX, PPTX, notes or photos of pages and writes questions with one correct answer and plausible distractors, each with an explanation.

Four-option questions with one correct answer and plausible distractors
True/false and short answer questions drawn from the same source
Explanations for every answer, so wrong choices become study notes
Free plan includes 3 generations per month, with no credit card needed to start

Example photosynthesis multiple choice questions

In which organelle does photosynthesis take place in plant cells?The chloroplast. It contains chlorophyll, the pigment that absorbs light energy.

Which gas is released as a by-product of the light-dependent reactions?Oxygen. Water molecules are split to supply electrons, and the leftover oxygen is released.

Which enzyme catalyzes the first step of carbon fixation in the Calvin cycle?RuBisCO. It attaches CO2 to RuBP, starting the cycle that builds sugar.

Which wavelengths of light does chlorophyll absorb most strongly?Red and blue. Chlorophyll reflects most green light, which is why leaves look green.

True or false: photosynthesis releases carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.False. Photosynthesis takes in carbon dioxide and releases oxygen, while respiration releases carbon dioxide.

Frequently asked questions

How many answer choices should a multiple choice question have?

Four options is the most common format, with one correct answer and three plausible distractors. Distractors work best when they reflect real mistakes, such as mixing up the inputs and outputs of photosynthesis.

How do I write good distractors for a biology quiz?

Base wrong options on misconceptions students actually hold, like saying plants take in oxygen during photosynthesis. Avoid silly options and all of the above choices, since they give away the answer.

Can I export a multiple choice test to Moodle?

Yes, Moodle XML export is included in the Pro plan at $14.99 per month. PDF and DOCX export are included in Plus, which costs $39 per year or $7.99 per month.

Is there a free way to try it?

Yes, the Free plan includes 3 generations per month and studying in the browser, and no credit card is needed to start. Exports require a paid plan.
