Frequently Asked Questions About AI Quiz Generation

Get clarity on how our formative assessment tool works.

How does the AI generate high-quality questions and detailed explanations?

The AI model analyzes the semantic relationships and hierarchy within your source text. It constructs questions focusing on key concepts and then uses its understanding of the topic to formulate plausible incorrect options (distractors) and a precise, educational justification for the correct choice.

What file formats can I upload for source material ingestion?

We support uploading standard academic and document files, including PDF, DOCX (Word documents), and Microsoft PowerPoint presentations. You can also upload relevant images containing text or data you wish to test on.

Can I export the finalized quizzes for offline use or LMS import?

Yes. We offer robust export options including standard PDF and Word (DOCX). For institutional use, we support QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML formats, ensuring easy integration with most major LMS platforms.

Is the AI quiz creation service completely free, or are there paid tiers?

The service is free to try, allowing you to generate introductory quizzes immediately. Our paid plans unlock access to more advanced AI models and provide significantly higher generation credits for extensive material processing.
