Why a custom list beats a printable quiz
Printable vocabulary list quiz sheets are easy to find, but they rarely match the words your class actually assigned. A quiz built from your own list tests the exact definitions you will see on the test.
- Multiple choice questions use distractors drawn from your own list, so near-miss words are easy to spot.
- True/false items check whether you can tell a word apart from its close synonym or antonym.
- Short answer prompts make you write the definition from memory, which is harder than recognizing it.
- Paid plans export to PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV, so the quiz can go into class materials or a flashcard app.
Three question types
Multiple choice, true/false and short answer questions built from the terms on your list.
Explanations for every answer
Each question explains why the correct answer fits, so every miss becomes a short lesson.
Flashcards with spaced review
Turn the same list into flashcards with spaced repetition on paid plans.

Frequently asked questions
How many words should a vocabulary quiz include?
Ten to twenty words is a practical range for one sitting, since it covers the list without overwhelming you. Shorter quizzes work well for daily review.
What is the best way to study vocabulary before a quiz?
Use each word in a sentence and review it at spaced intervals rather than cramming the night before. Testing yourself on definitions works better than rereading them.

PDF and DOCX export are part of the Plus plan at $99.90/year or $9.99/month. The free plan lets you study the quiz in the browser.
