Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common queries about generating quizzes from your documents.

How does the AI accurately generate questions from a complex PDF?

The AI uses advanced Natural Language Processing (NLP) models to first parse and structure the text from your PDF. It identifies key concepts, definitions, relationships, and facts, then dynamically generates questions ensuring conceptual coverage, not just superficial recall.

What file types can I upload besides PDF to generate my MCQs?

We support a wide range of input formats optimized for content extraction, including PDF, Microsoft Word (.docx), PowerPoint (.pptx), and direct image uploads (like scanned textbook pages).

Can I export the quiz results or the question bank for offline use or LMS integration?

Absolutely. You maintain full ownership of your generated assessments. We support export to standard formats including PDF, Word (.docx), QTI 2.1, and Moodle XML for easy integration into various testing platforms.

Is the service for generating MCQs from PDFs entirely free?

The core AI quiz generator is available with a generous free tier, allowing you to test the quality of question generation. Access to higher generation limits and the most advanced AI model requires a subscription to our paid plan.
