How the quiz maker works with your own material

Most quizzes online are built around someone else's content, so they rarely match the chapter your class is on. This quiz maker starts from the material you already have: a PDF, a DOCX, a slide deck, plain notes, or a photo of a textbook page read with text recognition.

Multiple-choice, true/false and short answer

Pick the question format that fits the topic. Short answer questions make you recall the idea instead of recognizing it.

Explanations on every question

Each answer comes with a short explanation, so a wrong pick shows you the reasoning you missed.

Starts from your own material

Works from PDFs, DOCX files, PPTX slides, plain notes and photos of pages read with text recognition.

How it works

Upload your material

Add a PDF, DOCX, PPTX file, pasted notes or a photo of a page.

Choose the question types

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

Practice and review

Answer in the browser, read the explanations and retry the questions you missed.

Each question comes with an explanation, so a wrong answer teaches you something instead of only marking you down. Short answer questions ask you to write the response in your own words, which is closer to what most exams expect than picking from a list.

Frequently asked questions

How many quiz questions should I make from one chapter?

Aim for 15 to 25 questions per chapter so you can cover the main terms and processes without rereading the whole section. Mix multiple-choice with short answer questions so you practice recall as well as recognition.

How often should I retake a quiz to remember the material?

Retake the same questions after a day or two, then again after about a week, and focus on the ones you missed. Spacing reviews this way works better than cramming them into one sitting.

Can I export the quiz to PDF or Moodle?

PDF and DOCX export are included in the Plus plan at $99.90/year or $9.99/month. QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML export are on the Pro plan at $14.99/month.

Is there a free way to try it?

The free plan includes 5 generations a week and studying in the browser. No credit card is needed to start, but exports require a paid plan.
