Frequently Asked Questions About Document-Based Quizzing

Answers to common inquiries regarding file support, generation logic, and exporting options.

How does the AI generate questions from my past year papers?

The AI uses advanced natural language processing to identify core concepts, facts, and relationships within your uploaded documents (PDFs, PPTs, DOCX). It then formulates varied question structures, like multiple-choice, ensuring the output mirrors the cognitive load of the original material while adding explanatory depth.

What specific file formats can I upload to create a quiz?

We support uploading standard document types including PDF, Microsoft Word (.docx), and PowerPoint (.pptx). You can also upload image files (JPG, PNG) containing handwritten or scanned questions. For non-document inputs, typing a detailed prompt is always an option.

Can I export the generated quiz for offline use or LMS integration?

Yes. Mastery is not limited to our platform. You can export your fully structured assessment packages into PDF for printing, DOCX for editing, or specialized educational formats like QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML, ensuring compatibility with major learning management systems.
