Frequently asked questions

What is a QCM and how is it different from true/false?

A QCM, or questionnaire à choix multiples, asks you to pick one or more answers from a list of options. A true/false question offers only two choices, so QCMs usually test finer distinctions between similar ideas.

How many answer choices should a QCM question have?

Four or five choices is the common pattern, with one clearly correct answer and the rest as plausible distractors. Make sure each wrong option reflects a real mistake students make, not an obviously silly guess.

Can I export my QCM quiz to Moodle?

Yes, Moodle XML export is available on the Pro plan, and QTI 2.1 export is also included there. PDF and DOCX export are on the Plus plan.

Is there a free plan to try the quiz maker?

Yes, the free plan includes 3 generations per month and lets you study in the browser. Exports require a paid plan, and no credit card is needed to start.
