Why a **free online quiz maker** beats re-reading your notes
A free online quiz maker helps when you have lecture slides or a textbook chapter and need practice questions tonight. Re-reading feels productive, but answering questions shows you what you can actually recall.
- Start with the chapter or lecture you are tested on next
- Mix question types so you practice recall and application
- Read the explanation even when you answered correctly
- Retake missed questions after a day or two to strengthen memory
Three question types
Get multiple-choice, true/false and open questions generated from your own material.
Explanations for every answer
Each question comes with a short explanation, so a wrong answer teaches you something.
Works from photos too
Snap a page of handwritten or printed notes and text recognition reads it for the quiz.
How it works

Study and review

Frequently asked questions
How many questions should a practice quiz have for one topic?
Ten to twenty questions per topic is a practical range for one sitting. Shorter sets are easier to finish and review carefully.
How should I study from quiz results?
Read the explanation for every missed question before moving on, then retake those questions after a day or two. Spacing the retakes makes recall stick better than cramming them.
Is the free plan really free, and what does it include?
Yes, no credit card is needed to start. The free plan includes 3 generations per month and studying in the browser, but it does not include exports.
Which formats can I export my quiz to?
Plus includes PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV export for $39 per year or $7.99 per month. Pro adds QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML export for $14.99 per month.
