Frequently Asked Questions About Document-Based Quizzing

Get clarity on how our AI processes your learning materials for assessment.

How does the AI generate questions from my uploaded files?

The AI uses advanced semantic analysis to identify key concepts, definitions, processes, and relationships within the text structure of your PDF or DOCX. It then transforms these elements into robust, challenging multiple-choice items designed for true knowledge checks.

What file formats can I upload for quiz generation?

We support major formats including PDF, Microsoft Word (DOCX), PowerPoint (PPTX), and common image files (like JPG or PNG) for content extraction.

Can I use the timed quiz feature offline after generating it?

The interactive, real-time timed practice mode requires an active connection. However, you can export the finished quiz to PDF or Word formats, allowing you to simulate timing conditions manually offline.

Is the ability to generate quizzes from notes free to use?

The service offers a robust free tier providing a limited number of generation credits. Users requiring unlimited access, higher document capacity, or utilization of our most advanced AI model can upgrade to a paid subscription plan.
