Why a custom quiz beats a printable one

Printable quizzes you find online are written for someone else's course, so they rarely match the reading you have this week. A PDF-to-quiz tool works from your own file instead: upload the document and it writes questions about the passages inside it.

  • Works with PDF, DOCX, PPTX, text notes and photos of pages
  • Choose multiple choice, true/false or short-answer questions
  • Explanations for every answer, right or wrong
  • Export to PDF or DOCX on Plus, and QTI 2.1 or Moodle XML on Pro

True or false: Achilles is the commander-in-chief of the Greek army in the Iliad.False. Agamemnon commands the army, and Achilles is the greatest warrior who quarrels with him.

Built from your file

Questions come from the pages you upload, not a generic template, so the quiz matches what you actually studied.

Three question types

Choose multiple choice, true/false or open questions, and mix them in one quiz.

Explanations included

Each answer shows why it is right or wrong, so missed questions become a lesson.

How it works

Upload your file

Add a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, text notes or a photo of a page. Photos are read with text recognition.

Pick question types

Select multiple choice, true/false or short answer, then generate the quiz.

Practice or export

Take the quiz in your browser. Plus and Pro users can export it for class or an LMS.

Each question includes an explanation, so a wrong answer teaches you why the correct one holds. The quiz stays tied to your notes, which makes it useful for checking whether you actually remember the material before an exam.

Frequently asked questions

How many questions should a Greek mythology quiz have?

Ten to fifteen questions usually cover a single myth cycle without becoming tiresome. For a longer reading, split the PDF into sections and make a separate short quiz for each one.

Can I export the quiz I make from a PDF?

PDF and DOCX export are included with Plus, which is $39/year or $7.99/month. QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML export are available on Pro at $14.99/month.

Is it free to turn a PDF into a quiz?

The free plan includes 3 generations per month and studying in the browser. Exports are not included on the free plan, and no credit card is needed to start.

How do I study Greek mythology from a long reading?

Take a quiz after each section instead of waiting until the end, and focus on the questions you miss. Retesting the same questions a few days later helps move the answers into long-term memory.
