Frequently asked questions

How many questions should a practice quiz include before a unit test?

Start with a set you can finish in one sitting, such as 15 to 20 questions, and repeat the ones you miss. Mixing question types helps you practice both recognition and recall.

Should I read the explanation even when I answer correctly?

Yes, because a correct guess can hide a gap in understanding. Reading the reasoning for correct answers confirms why they work.

Can I export my quizzes to other tools?

Exporting is a paid feature. Plus includes PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV export, and Pro adds QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML export.

Is there a free plan, and do I need a credit card?

The free plan includes 3 generations per month with browser study, and you do not need a credit card to start. Students with a school email get 40% off paid plans.
