Frequently Asked Questions About AI Worksheet Generation

Quick answers regarding document processing and quiz functionality.

How does the AI select the 'main idea' to quiz on?

The AI uses advanced natural language processing to analyze paragraph structures, topic sentences, and recurring themes within your provided text. It then formulates questions testing your ability to synthesize the overarching point, distinguishing it from supporting details or tangential facts.

What types of files can I upload to create these main idea worksheets?

We support common academic formats: PDF documents, Microsoft Word (.docx), and PowerPoint presentations. You can also upload images containing text (like scanned notes) or simply type your passage directly into the prompt box.

Can I use these quizzes for formal LMS integration or offline use?

Absolutely. You can download finished quizzes as standard PDF or Word documents for printing. For digital integration, we support exporting in QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML formats, ensuring compatibility with most learning management systems.

Is there a cost associated with generating custom multiple choice practice sets?

The tool offers a free tier allowing you to test the generation capability immediately. For heavy usage, advanced model access, or higher generation limits, we offer paid subscription plans.
