Frequently Asked Questions About AI Quiz Generation

Answers to common questions regarding source material and assessment output.

How does the AI determine question difficulty and relevance?

The AI assesses the density and complexity of concepts within your uploaded document—identifying key definitions, relationships, and procedural steps—to generate questions that test true comprehension, not just surface-level recall.

What types of files can I upload for quiz generation?

We support a wide range of inputs including PDFs, Microsoft Word (.docx), PowerPoint presentations (.pptx), and common image formats (.jpg, .png) containing readable text.

Can I export the quizzes for use outside your platform?

Yes, export functionality is a core feature. You can download your custom assessments as standard PDF, Word (DOCX) files for printing, or use specialized educational formats like QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML for direct import into major Learning Management Systems.

Is there a cost associated with using the AI quiz maker?

The tool is free to use with a generous allowance of basic generation credits. For heavy users requiring higher volume or access to our most advanced AI model, we offer premium paid plans providing expanded credits.
