Why generate your own vocabulary quiz book

A printed vocabulary quiz book is built around someone else's word list, so it rarely matches the terms your class is reading this week.

Questions drawn from your actual word list, not a generic set
Multiple-choice, true/false and open questions in one set
Explanations for every answer so mistakes become lessons
PDF and DOCX export on Plus, QTI and Moodle XML on Pro

Frequently asked questions

How many vocabulary words should one quiz cover?

Can I export a vocabulary quiz as a PDF?

PDF export is included with Plus, which costs $99.90 per year or $9.99 per month. The free plan lets you study in the browser, but it does not include exports.
