Why a name quiz beats rereading your notes

Quizzing yourself on names is one of the fastest ways to lock in terms, people and places before an exam. A name quiz maker reads your own lecture slides or notes and writes the questions for you, so your study time goes to answering rather than typing.

  • Recall names from memory with short answer questions instead of rereading a list
  • Use true/false questions to catch names that are easy to confuse
  • Read the explanation after every miss to see why the right name fits
  • Return to missed names through spaced repetition until they stick
Example name recall questions for anatomy and geography
Name the three bones of the middle ear.Malleus, incus and stapes. They carry sound vibrations from the eardrum to the inner ear.
Name the four chambers of the human heart.Left and right atria, left and right ventricles. Blood flows from the atria into the ventricles before leaving the heart.
Name the longest bone in the human body.The femur, or thigh bone. Its length and strength let it bear most of the body's weight during standing and walking.
Name the capital of Australia.Canberra. It was chosen as a compromise between Sydney and Melbourne, the two largest cities at the time.
Name the simplest element on the periodic table.Hydrogen. Its atoms have one proton and one electron, which makes it the lightest and most abundant element in the universe.

Built from your material

Upload PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text or photos of pages. Text recognition reads printed pages, so you can work from whatever your class handed out.

Three question types

Multiple-choice, true/false and short answer questions cover recognition and recall. Short answer is the harder format and the one that tests real memory.

Spaced repetition

Missed names come back on a schedule that adjusts to how well you remember them, so review time goes to the items you are most likely to forget.

How it works

Upload your notes

Add a PDF, slide deck, document or photo of a page. No credit card is needed to start.

Choose a question type

Pick multiple-choice, true/false or short answer, or mix them in one quiz.

Study and review

Answer in the browser, read the explanation for each miss, and let spaced repetition bring the hard names back.

Each question comes with an explanation, so a wrong answer teaches you why the correct name fits. Short answer questions make you recall the name from memory, which is harder and more useful than spotting it in a list.

Frequently asked questions

What is the best way to memorize names for an exam?

Practice retrieving each name from memory rather than rereading it, since recall practice builds stronger memory than recognition. Pair short answer questions with explanations so you also learn the context around each name.

How many names should I study in one session?

Most learners do better with a focused set of around 10 to 20 new names per session, followed by review of older items. Smaller batches make it easier to notice which names you are still mixing up.

Can I export my name quizzes?

Export is a paid feature. Plus includes PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV export, and Pro adds QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML for learning management systems.

Do I need a credit card to try it?

No. The free plan includes 3 generations per month and browser study, and you can start without entering a credit card.
