How the process runs from upload to practice

Anyone asking how Quizizz works is usually trying to get a quiz built quickly from material they already have. The simplest route is to start from your own lecture slides or notes rather than writing every question by hand.

Start from a PDF, slide deck, DOCX file, text notes or a photo of a page.
Choose multiple choice, true/false or short answer questions.
Read the explanation after each answer to see why the correct option is right.
Export to PDF, DOCX, Anki or CSV on Plus, or QTI and Moodle XML on Pro.

Example intro cell biology quiz questions

Which organelle produces most of a cell's ATP?Mitochondria. They carry out cellular respiration, which converts glucose and oxygen into ATP.

True or false: animal cells have a rigid cell wall like plant cells.False. Only plant, fungal and bacterial cells have a cell wall; animal cells rely on the cell membrane alone.

What is the main job of the Golgi apparatus?It modifies, sorts and packages proteins and lipids for transport. This sorting is why it is often called the cell's shipping center.

Why does a cell lose water when placed in a hypertonic solution?Water moves by osmosis toward the higher solute concentration, so it leaves the cell for the more concentrated outside solution.

What does the nucleolus do?It assembles ribosome subunits from rRNA and proteins. Ribosomes are needed to build proteins, so this step supports protein production.

How it works

Add a lecture PDF, slide deck, DOCX file or typed notes.

Generate questions

The AI writes questions of the types you choose, each with an explanation.

Practice and review

Answer in the browser, read the explanations for misses and export if your plan allows it.

Upload the file, pick multiple choice, true/false or short answer, and the tool drafts questions with an explanation for each one. Review the list, remove anything that is off-topic, and then practice until the wrong answers stop repeating.

Because the questions come from your own source, the quiz matches what your instructor actually covered. That makes it useful for exam review, not just generic practice.

Frequently asked questions

How many questions should a quiz on cell biology include?

For one lecture on cell structure, 10 to 15 well-chosen questions usually cover the key terms without padding. Focus on the organelles and processes your instructor emphasized.

What makes a good multiple-choice question for biology?

Write one clearly correct answer and distractors that reflect common mistakes, such as confusing mitochondria with chloroplasts. Each explanation should say why the right answer wins.

Is there a free plan?

Yes. The free plan includes 3 generations per month and studying in the browser, but exports are not included.

Which exports need a paid plan?
