Pick the quiz format you need and build it from your own notes
Upload a PDF, slides or notes, choose multiple choice, true/false or open questions, and get explained answers for each one.
Why a quiz format generator beats a generic template
Teachers and students often need the same content in several question types, so a quiz format generator saves time by building each type from the same notes. A multiple choice set checks recognition, true/false checks single claims, and open questions check recall, and switching between them should not mean rewriting everything by hand.
- Multiple choice, true/false and open questions in one workflow
- Explanations for every answer, not just the correct letter
- Questions drawn from your own PDFs, slides, notes or page photos
- Free plan with 3 generations per month and browser study

Frequently asked questions
Which quiz question format should I pick for a first study session?
Multiple choice works well for recognizing terms, and short answer is better once you want to check recall. True/false is useful for quick checks of single claims.
How many questions should a practice quiz have?
Ten to twenty questions covers one lecture or chapter without wearing you out. Retest the questions you missed in a later session rather than adding more.
Can I export quizzes to Moodle or QTI?
Yes, QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML export are included on the Pro plan at $14.99 per month. PDF and DOCX export are available on Plus at $99.90 per year or $9.99 per month.
Does the free plan include exports?
No, the free plan gives 3 generations per month and browser study with no exports. Plus adds unlimited generations along with PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV export, and no credit card is needed to start.
