How a quiz maker from files works

Teachers and students often already have the material for a quiz: a lecture PDF, a slide deck or typed notes. A quiz maker from files reads that material and writes questions from it, so you are not starting from a blank page.

Keep questions tied to the exact pages or slides you are studying.
Mix question types so you practice both recall and application.
Read the explanation for every missed question before moving on.
Retake missed questions after a few days to check what stuck.

Example cell biology quiz questions

Which organelle produces most of a eukaryotic cell's ATP through aerobic respiration?Mitochondria. The citric acid cycle and electron transport chain take place there, and they yield most of the cell's ATP.

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 job of the Golgi apparatus?Modifying, sorting and packaging proteins and lipids for transport. Its job is to prepare molecules for delivery to other parts of the cell or outside it.

Why does a red blood cell swell and burst when placed in pure water?Water moves in by osmosis because the cytoplasm is more concentrated than the surrounding water. The membrane cannot hold the extra volume and lyses.

Which molecule carries the genetic code from DNA to the ribosome?Messenger RNA (mRNA). It is transcribed from DNA and read by ribosomes during translation to build proteins.

Three question formats

Get multiple choice, true/false and short answer questions in one quiz, so you can test recall and understanding.

Explanations for every answer

How it works

Frequently asked questions

How many questions should a quiz from one lecture include?

There is no fixed rule. Aim for enough questions to cover each main concept at least once, then add harder short answer items for ideas you missed.

What is the best way to study from a quiz after taking it?

Read the explanation for each wrong answer, then retake those questions after a gap of a few days. Spacing the practice out over several sessions usually sticks better than one long sitting.

Can I export a quiz to Moodle or another learning system?

Moodle XML and QTI 2.1 export are part of the Pro plan at $14.99 per month. PDF and DOCX export are included in Plus, which costs $39 per year or $7.99 per month.

Does it work with scanned pages or photos?

Yes. Photos of pages are read with text recognition, so you can turn a printed handout into a quiz without retyping it.
