Frequently Asked Questions About AI Quizzing

Get clarity on how our document-to-quiz technology works.

How does the AI algorithm generate questions from my documents?

The AI uses advanced natural language processing to parse the text semantics, identify key concepts, definitions, relationships, and complex scenarios within your PDFs or documents. It then synthesizes these facts into well-formed multiple-choice questions that test comprehension rather than just recognition.

What types of files can I upload to generate a quiz?

We support a wide range of input formats, including PDF, DOCX (Word documents), PowerPoint presentations (PPTX), and common image files (JPG, PNG) containing text or diagrams.

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

Absolutely. You have robust export options to download your custom assessment as a standard PDF or Word document (DOCX). For educational platforms, we support export to QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML formats for seamless integration.

Is the AI Formative Quiz Generator completely free to use?

The core service is free to try, allowing you to test the quality of AI-generated assessments. Our paid plan offers significantly more generation credits and access to our most advanced AI model for handling highly complex or extensive materials.
