Frequently Asked Questions About Document Quizzing

Expert answers regarding file compatibility, generation quality, and usage rights.

How does the AI ensure the questions accurately reflect my PDF content?

The AI employs advanced text processing to identify thematic structures, key definitions, and logical connections within your uploaded text. It prioritizes concepts that are dense or repeated, constructing questions that test for true comprehension rather than simple memorization.

What specific file types can I upload to generate an MCQ?

We support common academic formats including PDF, Microsoft Word (DOCX), PowerPoint (PPTX), and image files (JPEG, PNG) containing text or diagrams. You can also generate quizzes purely from a typed prompt.

Can I export the quizzes for use outside of your platform?

Absolutely. We provide comprehensive export options for educators and students, supporting PDF, Microsoft Word (DOCX), QTI 2.1 (for import into various LMS systems), and Moodle XML.

Is the service truly free to generate MCQs from documents?

Yes, we offer a generous free tier that allows you to generate a certain number of quizzes monthly. For heavy users or those requiring access to our most advanced generation model, we offer paid plans with increased credits.
