How to make a quiz from your own material

Quizizz-style practice works best when you can make a quiz from the exact pages you are studying, not a generic set of questions written for someone else's course.

Upload the exact readings, slides or notes your class uses so the questions match the material.
Mix multiple-choice, true/false and short answer questions to test both recognition and recall.
Read the explanation for every missed question before moving on to the next quiz.
Regenerate a quiz from updated notes before each exam instead of reusing an old set.

Frequently asked questions

How many questions should a quiz on one lecture have?

Ten to fifteen questions usually cover one lecture well enough to find the gaps. Focus on the key dates, causes and terms rather than trivia.

Should I write my own answers or let the quiz check them?

Attempt each question first, then compare against the answer and explanation. Writing a short answer from memory before checking it builds recall better than rereading.

Can I export the quiz I make?

Exports are a paid feature. Plus ($39/year or $7.99/month) includes PDF and DOCX export, and Pro adds QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML export.

Is there a free plan?

Yes, the free plan includes 3 generations per month and studying in the browser, with no exports. No credit card is needed to start.
