Why a custom quiz beats a generic printable

Pulling practice questions out of a long textbook chapter by hand takes hours. Converting a PDF to quiz format with AI starts from your own file, so the questions match what your instructor actually covered.

  • Questions come from your own PDF, slides or notes rather than a generic template.
  • Each question includes an explanation to review after you answer.
  • Short-answer items test recall, while multiple-choice items test recognition.
  • Exports to QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML are available on the Pro plan.
Example intro biology quiz questions (cell structure)
Which organelle produces most of the ATP in a eukaryotic cell?The mitochondrion. Its inner membrane hosts the electron transport chain that drives most ATP synthesis.
True or false: prokaryotic cells have a membrane-bound nucleus.False. Prokaryotes lack a membrane-bound nucleus, so their DNA sits in a region called the nucleoid.
Which molecule carries amino acids to the ribosome during translation?Transfer RNA (tRNA). Each tRNA matches a codon on the mRNA through its anticodon.
What type of cell division produces haploid gametes?Meiosis. It halves the chromosome number so that fertilization can restore the diploid state.
Which phase of the cell cycle includes DNA replication?S phase. DNA is copied here so each daughter cell receives a full set of chromosomes.

Study or export

Practice in the browser, or export the quiz in the format your course uses.

Frequently asked questions

How should I split a long intro biology PDF into quizzes?

Work through the PDF one chapter or topic at a time, such as cell structure or cell division. Smaller quizzes are easier to review and repeat over several sessions.

Which question type works best for memorizing biology terms?

Multiple-choice questions with plausible wrong answers test recognition, while short-answer questions force you to recall terms without hints. Using both types usually builds stronger retention than either one alone.

Can I export the quiz to Moodle or QTI?

Yes, QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML export are part of the Pro plan at $14.99/month. PDF and DOCX export are included in Plus, which costs $99.90/year or $9.99/month.

Can I try it before paying?

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.
