Converting a PDF into quiz questions

Lecture PDFs are dense, and writing practice questions by hand takes time you could spend studying. A PDF to quiz converter reads the file and drafts questions based on the content it contains, so the quiz matches your course rather than a generic textbook.

Example intro biology quiz questions from a PDF

Where does the citric acid cycle take place in eukaryotic cells?The mitochondrial matrix. Pyruvate enters the mitochondrion and is converted into acetyl-CoA, which feeds the cycle there.

True or false: DNA replication is semiconservative.True. Each new double helix keeps one original strand and one newly made strand, as shown by the Meselson and Stahl experiment.

Which molecule carries amino acids to the ribosome during translation?Transfer RNA (tRNA). Each tRNA has an anticodon that matches a codon on the mRNA and carries the matching amino acid.

What is the net ATP yield of glycolysis per glucose molecule?2 ATP. Glycolysis spends 2 ATP in its early steps and produces 4, leaving a net gain of 2.

What do the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis produce?ATP, NADPH and oxygen. Light energy splits water, and the ATP and NADPH then power the Calvin cycle.

How it works

Upload your material

Add the PDF, slides or notes you are studying from.

Choose a question type

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

Practice and review

Answer in the browser, read the explanations, and retake the questions you missed.

Because the questions come from your own material, they reflect the terms and ideas your instructor emphasized. Free accounts can study in the browser, while Plus adds PDF and DOCX export and Pro adds Moodle XML and QTI 2.1 export for teachers who run their own courses.

Review works best when you answer first and read the explanation second. Missed questions can be retaken later, which gives you a more reliable check than rereading the slides.

Frequently asked questions

How many quiz questions should I make from one chapter?

Start with the key terms and processes in each section, which usually gives you enough questions to cover the chapter. Mixing multiple-choice with true/false helps you practice both recognizing and recalling the material.

What is the best way to study biology with practice quizzes?

Answer each question before reading the explanation, then retake the ones you missed after a day or two. Spaced review works better than going through the same set repeatedly in one sitting.

Which export formats are paid?

PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV export are included with Plus at $99.90/year or $9.99/month. Moodle XML and QTI 2.1 export are on the Pro plan at $14.99/month.

Is there a free plan?
