Questions drawn from your own history reading, slides or notes
Answer key with a one-sentence explanation for every question
Multiple choice, true/false and short answer formats

Frequently asked questions

How many questions should a history quiz have for a unit review?

Yes, on the Plus plan you can export the quiz and answers as PDF or DOCX files and print them. Plus costs $99.90 a year or $9.99 a month, and the free plan lets you study in the browser with 3 generations per month.

Does it work with photos of textbook pages?

Yes, photos of pages are read with text recognition, and PDF, DOCX, PPTX and plain text files are also accepted.
