How a Quotev-style quiz maker works for studying

- Plus adds unlimited generations and PDF or DOCX export; Pro adds QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML

Pick a question type

Review and repeat

Quiz writing matters as much as the topic. Good multiple-choice questions use plausible wrong answers and avoid cues like all of the above. Explanations turn each missed question into something you can learn from.

Frequently asked questions
How many questions should a practice quiz have?
Ten to twenty questions on one topic is a practical range for a single study session. Shorter quizzes are easier to repeat, so adjust the length based on how much material you are covering.
How do I write good multiple-choice distractors?
Make wrong answers plausible but clearly incorrect, and avoid options like all of the above. Check each distractor against your notes so the quiz reinforces the right idea.
Can I export my quizzes?
PDF and DOCX export are included in Plus, and QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML export are on Pro. The free plan lets you study in the browser without exports.
Is there a free plan?
Yes. The free plan includes 3 generations per month and browser study. No credit card is needed to start, and students get 40% off with a school email.
