Quiz generator from notes
Feeling ready is not evidence that you are ready.
This is the single most expensive mistake in studying, and almost everyone makes it. You read the chapter, it makes sense, you feel fine. Then the exam asks you to produce something rather than recognise it, and it turns out recognising and producing are different skills.
The only way to find the gap before the exam does is to be tested.
What this does
Upload your notes. You get a practice quiz built from them, graded as you go.
It's as long as your notes need. A thin topic gets a handful of questions, a dense one gets up to 25, and none of them are filler. You pick which types you want:
- Multiple choice
- True or false
- Written answer, where you type a real response
- Matching, pairing terms with definitions
No video needed. Upload notes, get a quiz.
Graded as you answer, not at the end
Pick an option and it locks straight away, right or wrong. You can't change it.
That sounds harsh. It's deliberate. A quiz you can go back and fix gives you a score that's partly made up, and the score is the thing you were trying to get an honest reading on. Locking answers keeps the number true.
Two things show up around each question:
A hint, before you answer. It's a nudge toward how to think about it. It never contains the answer, so using it doesn't wreck the result.
An explanation, after. The reasoning, not just the correct letter. Knowing you picked B when it was C teaches you nothing. Knowing why C follows is the part you keep.
Written answers get read properly rather than string-matched, so phrasing something correctly in your own words counts as correct.
The part that's actually useful
If you made a video lesson for this topic, every question you get wrong links back to the exact moment in that lesson where the thing was explained.
Not the lesson. The moment. You click it and the player jumps to that second.
This closes the loop that usually stays open. Normally you finish a quiz, see you got four wrong, feel bad, and then don't do anything about it because tracking down the relevant part of your notes is its own chore. Here the gap and the fix are one click apart.
Questions also carry a note about how heavily the topic featured in your original material, so you can tell the difference between a detail you missed and a central idea you missed.
Treat the score as noise
Seriously. The number at the end is the least useful thing on the results page.
You will get 11 out of 12 on a quiz and still fail that section of the exam, because the quiz happened to skip the thing you don't know. You will get 6 out of 12 and be fine, because the six were careless rather than conceptual.
The value is the list of questions you got wrong. That's a to-do list for tonight. Everything else is decoration.
What it isn't
It isn't your exam. Generated questions lean toward recall, because recall is easy to generate from a document. If your exam is essays or long problems, a multiple choice quiz is training a different muscle. Use past papers from your department for format, and use this for coverage.
It isn't a substitute for the material being decent. Thin notes generate thin questions. If your slides are twelve words each, the quiz will be about twelve words each.
It can make mistakes. Rarely, but it can. If a question looks wrong to you, it might be. Check it rather than relearning something incorrectly.
Picking up where you left off
If you close the tab halfway through, the run is saved. Come back and you can carry on or start fresh.
You can also jump between questions you've already reached, though not ahead to ones you haven't. Skipping forward to see what's coming would let you prepare, and then the score stops meaning anything again.
What it costs
An account, and the free tier covers five quiz generations.
Retaking a quiz you already made is free and unlimited. Only generating a new one counts. So the sensible pattern is: make one quiz per topic, then retake it across the week as your answers change.
