Frequently Asked Questions About AI Quiz Generation

Clarifying how our rationale-based assessment tool works.

How does the AI generate questions with rationales for every option?

Our model analyzes the context surrounding the correct answer and synthesizes plausible, yet technically incorrect, distractors. It then generates a specific educational justification (rationale) for why the correct answer is superior and why the others fail based on the source text.

What file types can I upload for quiz generation?

You can upload standard academic files including PDFs, DOCX, PowerPoint presentations (.pptx), and various image formats containing text. If you prefer, simply type your prompt detailing the subject matter.

Can I export the quizzes with all the detailed explanations included?

Absolutely. All generated quizzes, complete with the answer key and full rationales for every option, can be exported into multiple formats suitable for LMS integration or offline study, including PDF, Microsoft Word (.docx), QTI 2.1, and Moodle XML.

Is the AI answer rationale MCQ generator free to try?

Yes, our tool offers a robust free tier allowing you to test the power of AI-generated quizzes. Users requiring higher volume generation or access to our most advanced AI models can upgrade to a paid subscription plan.
