Why a **quiz maker based on notes** beats rereading

Rereading lecture notes feels productive, but it rarely shows you what you have forgotten. A quiz maker based on notes turns the material you already have into questions you have to answer from memory, which is where recall gets stronger.

  • Questions reflect the exact terms and examples in your own notes.
  • Multiple-choice, true/false and short answer formats test recognition and recall.
  • Explanations show the reasoning behind each correct answer.
  • Spaced repetition on Plus helps you revisit weak questions over time.
Example cell biology quiz questions from lecture notes
Which organelle produces most of a cell's ATP?The mitochondrion, because cellular respiration in its inner membrane generates most of the cell's ATP.
Which molecule carries amino acids to the ribosome during translation?Transfer RNA (tRNA), because each one matches a codon on mRNA and brings the matching amino acid.
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.
What is the main function of the Golgi apparatus?It modifies, sorts and packages proteins and lipids so they can be sent to other parts of the cell or secreted.
Why does a cell shrink when placed in a concentrated salt solution?The outside solution has lower water potential, so water leaves the cell by osmosis, which reduces its volume.

Multiple-choice, true/false and short answer

Pick the question type that fits the material. Each question comes with an explanation so a wrong answer teaches you something.

Built from your own material

Questions come from the notes, slides or PDF you upload, so the quiz covers your course rather than a generic textbook.

Study in the browser or export

Take the quiz right away on the free plan. Export to PDF or DOCX on Plus, and to QTI 2.1 or Moodle XML on Pro.

How it works

Upload your notes

Add a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text file or a photo of a page. Photos are read with text recognition.

Choose question types

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

Review and practice

Read the explanations, retake missed questions and export when you need a printable or LMS-ready copy.

Good practice questions follow the structure of your notes: definitions, causes and effects, and the exceptions your professor pointed out. Because each question carries an explanation, you can see why an answer is right instead of guessing and moving on.

Frequently asked questions

How many quiz questions should I make from one set of lecture notes?

Start with 10 to 20 questions covering the main terms and processes in the notes. Smaller, focused quizzes are easier to review than one long test.

How do I know if a quiz question is good enough to study from?

A good question has one clearly correct answer and tests an idea, not a trivial detail. If you can answer it only by memorizing the exact wording, rewrite it to ask about the concept.

Can I export my quiz?

Yes. PDF and DOCX export are on the Plus plan, and QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML export are on Pro.

Do I need a credit card to try it?

No. You can start on the free plan, which includes 3 generations per month and studying in the browser, with no credit card needed.
