Turn a PDF file into a practice quiz for free

Making a quiz from your own PDF
Most students who need practice questions from a textbook chapter start with a free PDF file to quiz maker, then check each question against the source pages before studying.
- Questions are built from the text of your own file, not a generic bank.
- Multiple-choice, true/false and short-answer formats are available.
- Each question comes with an explanation of why the answer is correct.
- The free plan lets you study in the browser without exporting anything.

How it works
Upload your file
Add a PDF or your notes, then choose the chapter or pages you want to cover.
Choose a question type
Pick multiple-choice, true/false or open questions and generate the quiz from your material.
Study and review
Answer the questions in your browser, read the explanations and go back to the ones you missed.
Writing questions by hand takes time, and it is easy to miss the key ideas in a long file. A generator reads the whole document and proposes questions on the main points, so you spend your time answering them instead of drafting them.
Always skim the generated questions first. Remove anything that is off-topic, and reread the explanation for any answer you got wrong.

Frequently asked questions
How many quiz questions should I make from one PDF chapter?
Start with about 10 to 15 questions per chapter, focusing on definitions, processes and cause-and-effect points. Add more for longer chapters once you see which topics take the most review.
Should I quiz myself before or after rereading a cell biology chapter?
Try a short quiz first to find the gaps, then reread only the sections where you missed questions. Testing yourself before rereading tends to show what you actually remember.
Is the free plan really free?
Yes. The free plan includes 3 generations per month and studying in the browser, and no credit card is needed to start.
Can I export my quiz?
Exports are a paid feature. Plus ($99.90/year or $9.99/month) adds PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV export, and Pro ($14.99/month) adds QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML.
