Why a quiz beats rereading your notes

Many students end up with a folder of lecture PDFs and no real way to test what they remember from them. A quiz generator for Studocu notes fills that gap by reading your own files and writing questions from them. You upload the material, pick the question types, and get a quiz with an explanation for every answer.

Works with PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text and photos of pages
Multiple-choice, true/false and short answer questions in one quiz
Explanations on every question so you learn from misses

Multiple-choice, true/false and short answer

Pick the question types that fit the material. Multiple choice checks recall, true/false checks whether a claim holds, and short answer makes you explain a concept in your own words.

Explanations for every answer

Each question comes with a short explanation of the correct answer, so a wrong guess becomes a lesson instead of a dead end.

Built from your own files

Quizzes come from the PDF, slides, DOCX or notes you upload. Photos of pages are read with text recognition, so handwritten-era scans still work when the text is legible.

How it works

Upload your material

Add a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text file or a photo of a page from your own notes or course reading.

Choose your question types

Select multiple choice, true/false, short answer or a mix, then generate the quiz.

Answer, check and retake

Answer before you look at the explanations, then retake the missed questions a few days later.

Quizzes work best when you answer before you reread. Try a set once, read the explanations for anything you missed, then retake those questions after a few days. Spacing the repeats out is what turns a quick review into something you still remember at exam time.

The Free plan gives you 3 generations per month and lets you study in the browser. Plus adds unlimited generations with PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV export, and Pro adds QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML export for schools that run those systems.

Frequently asked questions

How should I use practice quizzes to study from lecture notes?

Answer each question before checking the answer, and treat every miss as a prompt to reread that section of your notes. Retake the missed questions after a few days so the material stays in memory.

Which question types work best for studying from notes?

Multiple choice suits definitions and facts, true/false tests whether you understand a claim, and short answer forces you to explain a concept in your own words. Mixing all three gives a more complete check.

Can I export my generated quizzes?

PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV export are on the Plus plan, and QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML export are on Pro. The Free plan lets you study the quiz in the browser without exports.
