Frequently Asked Questions About Document-to-Quiz Generation

We address common concerns about file compatibility, accuracy, and export options.

How does the AI generate questions from my history article?

The AI utilizes advanced natural language processing (NLP) to identify core concepts, chronological relationships, key figures, and primary source quotes within your uploaded text. It then crafts multiple-choice questions designed to test comprehension and analytical linkage, ensuring relevance to the source material.

What file formats can I upload to create my custom history quiz?

We support a wide range of input materials. You can upload PDFs, DOCX files, PowerPoint presentations (PPTX), common image formats (JPG, PNG), or simply type a detailed prompt detailing the historical topic you need assessed.

Can I export the finished quiz for offline study or LMS upload?

Yes. Our tool fully supports exporting quizzes into PDF and Word (DOCX) for easy printing or review. For institutional compatibility, we also provide exports in QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML formats.

Is the AI quiz generation tool free to use?

The tool is free to try, allowing you to experience the core functionality. For users requiring higher volumes of content processing or access to our most advanced generation model, we offer premium paid plans providing increased credit allowances.
