Our tool intelligently indexes your uploaded documents—whether they are lecture transcripts or textbook chapters—to create highly relevant questions.

  • Ensures 100% coverage of uploaded material.
  • Promotes deeper understanding via immediate feedback.
  • Saves educators and students valuable preparation time.

This targeted approach is critical for high-stakes testing, providing authoritative practice built directly from the material you need to know.

Frequently Asked Questions About Document-Based Quizzing

Get clarity on how the technology works, what you can submit, and how to use your generated assessments.

How exactly does the AI generate questions from my uploaded PDF?

The AI uses advanced OCR (Optical Character Recognition) and NLP (Natural Language Processing) to identify headings, bolded terms, definitions, and complex sentences within the PDF. It then structures these data points into valid multiple-choice formats, ensuring questions test understanding rather than simple memorization.

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

We support comprehensive file ingestion: PDFs, Microsoft Word (.docx), PowerPoint presentations (.pptx), and image files (.jpg, .png) containing legible text. You can also bypass uploads entirely by providing a detailed prompt describing the required subject matter.

Can I export the generated quiz for use outside the platform?

Yes, flexibility is a core feature. You can export your custom quizzes directly into widely compatible formats, including PDF, Word (.docx), QTI 2.1 (for Blackboard/Canvas), and Moodle XML for effortless LMS management.

Is the AI PDF MCQ generator free to use?

We offer a generous free tier that allows you to test the power of document-based quiz generation. For unlimited access, higher generation credits, and access to our most advanced AI model, we offer a premium subscription.
