How an MCQ generator fits into real study sessions

Most students already have the material they need: lecture slides, a chapter PDF, or handwritten notes from a review session. The gap is turning that material into practice questions before an exam. A MCQ generator reads your own files and drafts questions with answer choices, so you spend your time answering and correcting rather than writing items from scratch.

  • Upload the chapter PDF or lecture slides you already use in class.
  • Start with a short quiz of 10 to 15 questions and review every explanation.
  • Retake questions you missed the next day to strengthen recall.
  • Export to Anki or Moodle XML on paid plans if your course uses those tools.
Example general biology multiple-choice questions
Which organelle produces most of a cell's ATP?Mitochondria. They carry out oxidative phosphorylation, the main ATP-producing process in aerobic cells.
True or false: mitosis produces four genetically distinct daughter cells.False. Mitosis produces two genetically identical daughter cells; meiosis produces four genetically distinct gametes.
What is the role of helicase in DNA replication?It unwinds the double helix by breaking hydrogen bonds between base pairs, creating the replication fork.
Which molecule carries amino acids to the ribosome during translation?tRNA. Its anticodon pairs with the matching mRNA codon, so the correct amino acid is added to the chain.
Which process moves water across a membrane toward the side with more solute?Osmosis. Water moves down its own concentration gradient, from higher water potential to lower water potential.

Questions from your own material

Upload PDFs, DOCX files, PPTX slides, plain text notes, or photos of pages. Text recognition reads the images so you can work from what you already have.

Three question types

Choose multiple-choice, true/false, or short answer questions. Each one comes with an explanation so you learn why an answer is right or wrong.

Export when you need it

Study in the browser on the free plan. Plus adds PDF, DOCX, Anki, and CSV export, and Pro adds QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML for learning management systems.

How it works

Upload your material

Add a PDF, slides, notes, or photos of a textbook page. The tool reads the text and identifies the main concepts.

Pick the question type

Select multiple-choice, true/false, or short answer. Set how many questions you want for the section you are studying.

Review and study

Read each explanation, correct any question that does not fit your course, and practice until the material sticks.

Good practice questions test one idea each and include plausible wrong answers. Review every explanation, not only the ones you missed, because the reasoning behind a correct answer is often what the exam will ask about. Mix question types across a session to check recall and application.

Frequently asked questions

How many multiple-choice questions should I write for general biology?

Most chapter reviews work well with 10 to 20 questions, enough to cover each main term and process without overwhelming a session. Spread them across topics so weaker areas get more items.

What makes a good multiple-choice distractor?

Wrong options should be plausible and based on common mistakes, such as confusing mitosis with meiosis. Avoid answers that are obviously false or that give clues through length or wording.

Can I export the questions to Moodle or QTI?

Yes, QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML export are on the Pro plan at $14.99 per month. PDF and DOCX export are on Plus at $39 per year or $7.99 per month, and the free plan has 3 generations per month with browser study only.

Is there a discount for students?

Students get 40% off with a school email. No credit card is needed to start on the free plan.
