Transform Your Study Materials into Powerful Assessments

Leverage the precision of generative AI to build rigorous practice tests optimized for active recall and knowledge consolidation.

Turn Notes into Exams

Effortlessly upload PDFs, PowerPoints, or images containing your source material. The AI reads and understands context directly from your files, ensuring test relevance.

Instant Explanations & Mastery Checks

Every generated multiple-choice question comes with detailed, option-by-option explanations, facilitating deeper understanding rather than simple memorization or surface-level recall.

Flexible Practice & Export

Practice interactively within the app to simulate exam conditions, or export perfectly formatted quizzes to PDF, DOCX, QTI 2.1, or Moodle XML for offline use.

Creating Your Perfect Exam Takes Three Simple Steps

From lecture slide to validated practice test, our streamlined workflow maximizes efficiency while ensuring assessment quality based on your specific input.

  1. 1

    Upload Your Source Material

    Select and upload your proprietary files—PDFs, Word documents, or even images—or simply type a comprehensive prompt detailing the subject matter for generation.

  2. 2

    AI Extraction & Generation

    Our specialized AI analyzes the provided context, identifies key learning objectives, and rapidly constructs robust multiple-choice questions with comprehensive answer keys and detailed feedback.

  3. 3

    Practice or Export

    Engage with the quiz in interactive mode for immediate feedback and active recall, or utilize our comprehensive export suite (PDF, DOCX, QTI, Moodle XML) to integrate assessments into any LMS.

The Superior Method for Custom Quiz Creation

Relying on generic, pre-made quizzes rarely aligns with your specific syllabus or latest lecture notes. When you need to create questions from a PDF, you require assessment fidelity that only source material analysis can provide. Our AI tool scans your exact input—be they dense research papers or concise chapter summaries—to ensure every question tests precisely what you just studied.

  • Generating assessments from source documents
  • AI-powered formative assessment design
  • Custom quiz creation from uploaded materials
  • Utilizing document input for study aids

This approach guarantees high relevance for high-stakes review, moving beyond simple knowledge recall to test deeper comprehension derived directly from your curriculum.

Frequently Asked Questions

Get clarity on how our AI converts your documents into structured learning assessments.

How does the AI accurately generate questions from my uploaded documents?

The AI uses advanced natural language understanding (NLU) models specifically trained for educational context extraction. It identifies core concepts, relationships between topics, and potential areas of confusion within your PDF/DOCX, structuring these into valid multiple-choice formats.

What types of files can I upload to generate a quiz?

We support PDF documents, Microsoft Word files (.docx), PowerPoint presentations (.pptx), and various image formats. You can also bypass file uploads entirely by typing a detailed prompt for the AI.

Can I export the quizzes I create from my files?

Absolutely. We support exporting your custom-generated quizzes in highly versatile formats: standard PDF for printing, Microsoft Word (.docx), QTI 2.1, and Moodle XML, making integration seamless.

Is there a cost associated with creating questions from my own PDFs?

Our tool offers a powerful free tier allowing you to generate quizzes. For high-volume users or those requiring access to our most advanced AI models, a paid subscription unlocks higher generation credits and premium features.
