Why a custom vocabulary quiz beats a generic one
Students who need a vocabulary quiz website usually already have the words: a list from class, a chapter of a reader, or a set of slides from a unit. The fastest way to test them is to quiz on those exact terms rather than a generic word bank.
- Questions drawn from your own list, not a fixed word bank
- Multiple choice, true/false and short answer in one quiz
- Explanations for every answer, including the ones you got right
- PDF or DOCX export on paid plans for printing or sharing
Questions from your list
Upload a PDF, DOCX, slides or a photo of your word list and get questions built from those exact terms.
Multiple choice, true/false or short answer
Pick the question types that match your test, then take the quiz in the browser.
Explanations for every answer
Each answer comes with a short explanation, so you learn why a word fits the meaning.

Take the quiz and review

Frequently asked questions
How many words should a vocabulary quiz include?
Most practice quizzes work well with 10 to 20 words, which is enough to cover a unit without becoming tiring. Start with the words you find hardest and add more once those feel familiar.
What is the best way to study vocabulary for a test?
Test yourself rather than rereading the list, and review missed words more often than the ones you already know. Spreading review over several days helps meanings stick longer than one long cram session.
Is the vocabulary quiz free to use?
The free plan includes 3 generations a month and lets you take quizzes in the browser. Exporting to PDF or DOCX needs a paid plan, and students get 40% off with a school email.
Can I export a vocabulary quiz to my LMS?
QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML export are included on the Pro plan. PDF, DOCX and Anki export are available on Plus.
