Making a vocabulary quiz from a YouTube video

A vocabulary quiz from YouTube videos is most useful when it tests the words you actually heard, not a generic list. Video lessons often introduce a dozen terms in ten minutes, and most of them are gone by the next day unless you test yourself while the context is still fresh.

Copy the transcript and keep only the terms the speaker defined or used in context.
Mix question types so you test recognition and recall, not just matching.
Re-take missed questions the next day rather than cramming the whole list at once.
Read the explanation for every answer, including the ones you got right.

Example vocabulary quiz questions from a word list

What does 'benevolent' mean?Well-meaning and kind. The prefix bene- means good, which points to the meaning.

Which word means lasting for a very short time: ephemeral or perennial?Ephemeral. It comes from a Greek word meaning lasting only a day, while perennial means lasting for years.

True or false: 'ubiquitous' means rare or hard to find.False. Ubiquitous means found everywhere, which is the opposite of scarce.

What is a synonym for 'candid'?Frank or open. Candid speech is honest and direct, without hiding opinions.

What does the suffix -ology mean?The study of something. Biology is the study of life, so the suffix signals a field of study.

Works from any transcript

Copy the transcript or captions from a YouTube lesson, or paste your notes. Photos of printed word lists are read with text recognition.

Explanations for every answer

Each question comes with a short explanation, so a wrong answer teaches you the word's meaning and root instead of just marking it wrong.

Review with spaced repetition

Turn the same words into flashcards that resurface at increasing intervals, so new vocabulary moves into long-term memory.

How it works

Paste your source

Copy the transcript from the video or paste your notes. You can also upload a PDF, slides or a photo of a word list.

Choose a question type

Pick multiple choice, true/false or short answer. Multiple choice works well for synonyms and definitions.

Study and review

Take the quiz in the browser, read the explanations, then review missed words with spaced repetition flashcards.

Start with the transcript, then pick the words that the speaker defined or used in context. Multiple-choice questions work well for meaning and synonyms, while true/false questions catch common confusions, such as words that sound alike but mean opposite things. Read each explanation before moving on, because the root and example sentence are what make a word stick.

Frequently asked questions

How many words should one vocabulary quiz cover?

Ten to fifteen words is a good range for a single session. Smaller sets make it easier to read each explanation and spot the words you keep missing.

How often should I review new vocabulary words?

Review a new word the next day, then again after a few days and a week. Spacing out reviews helps the word move into long-term memory better than one long session.

Can I make a vocabulary quiz on the free plan?

Yes. The free plan includes 3 generations per month and studying in the browser, but exports are not included.

Can I export my vocabulary quiz?

Exports to PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV are included in the Plus plan at $39/year or $7.99/month. The Pro plan at $14.99/month adds QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML export.
