Picking a quiz maker for students

Choosing a quiz maker for students comes down to where the questions come from. A tool that starts from your own lectures and readings tests what your instructor will actually ask, while generic question banks often miss the emphasis of your course.

Add a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, text file or photo of a page.

Choose a question type

Pick multiple-choice, true/false or open questions, or mix them.

Quiz yourself

Answer, check the explanation, and retake the questions you missed.

Good practice questions do more than check recall. Mixing multiple-choice items with true/false and open questions makes you explain ideas in your own words, and the explanations show why a distractor is wrong. Retaking the missed questions a day or two later is where most of the learning sticks.
