Why build your own terminology quiz

Most free terminology quizzes with answers cover general vocabulary rather than the terms your professor used in lecture, which leaves gaps right before an exam. A quiz generated from your own readings tests the exact definitions and word parts you need to recall.

Questions use the definitions from your own course material.
Multiple choice, true/false and short-answer formats are available.
Explanations show the reasoning behind each correct answer.
Quizzes can be exported for other tools on paid plans.

Example medical terminology quiz questions with answers

What does the prefix hyper- mean in hypertension?Above or excessive. Hyper- means over normal, so hypertension is abnormally high blood pressure.

What does the suffix -itis indicate?Inflammation of a body part. The suffix -itis signals inflammation, so gastritis means inflamed stomach.

What does the root cardi/o refer to?The heart. It comes from the Greek kardia, which is why cardiology is the study of the heart.

What does nephrectomy mean?Surgical removal of a kidney. The suffix -ectomy means surgical excision, and nephr/o refers to the kidney.

True or false: bradycardia means a fast heart rate.False. The prefix brady- means slow, so bradycardia is an abnormally slow heart rate.

Frequently asked questions

How do I memorize medical terminology prefixes and suffixes?

Group word parts by meaning, such as hyper- and hypo-, and quiz yourself on both the word part and the full term. Short daily sessions tend to stick better than one long cram session.

How many terms should a terminology quiz cover at once?

Start with the terms from a single lecture or chapter so you can check each answer against your notes. Add new batches once you can answer the older ones reliably.
