Turn your notes into a practice quiz
Upload a chapter or paste your notes and get multiple-choice questions with the correct answer and a one-line reason for it.
Re-reading notes feels like studying and is not. The test that predicts an exam is answering questions you did not write yourself — and writing those questions by hand is the part everyone skips.
This tool reads the material, then writes multiple-choice questions that only make sense if you read it: four options of similar length, one correct, and a sentence saying where in the material the answer comes from. Answer on the page and it keeps score as you go.
What the output looks like
Real output: 1644 characters of chapter text in, 12 questions out, 37.9 seconds. First three below, exactly as generated — the starred option is the correct one.

Who it is for
- Testing yourself the night before, instead of re-reading
- Turning a chapter into questions a class can answer together
- Checking whether you actually understood a paper before citing it
Not a good fit: Material that is mostly images, formulas or code listings — the questions would all be about the surrounding text.
Three things that improve the result
- Upload the whole chapter, not the summary. Questions about a summary test the summary.
- Answer before you read the explanation. Reading first turns the quiz back into re-reading.
- Wrong answers are the useful output: the explanation quotes the sentence you misread.
How it works
- Drop a file, or paste the notes you want to be tested on.
- Choose Quiz as the output type and pick the language.
- Answer on the page — each question tells you immediately whether you were right, and why. Download the set as CSV if you want it in a spreadsheet.
Questions
Are the questions answerable without reading the source?
They are written so they should not be. Each question depends on a specific fact, number or claim in the material, and the explanation quotes it.
How many questions do I get?
Between 8 and 20 depending on how much distinct material there is. A single chapter gives roughly 12.
Can I edit the questions afterwards?
Yes — download the CSV. It has the question, the four options, the correct letter and the explanation in separate columns.
