Selected mode: Practice from text. Local recall is self-rated. Short material gives a short review; add more source points for new practice. The original reading and word lists are examples from the related tools, not new question banks.
Why not just ask a chatbot?
Fair question. Three answers.In a chat, the answers are already on screen
You can't test yourself on something you've already read. We hide them until you commit.
A chat can't swallow a whole book
Paste a long source into a chat and it loses the thread. We build the quiz from the whole document you drop — start to end.
A chat forgets what you got wrong
We keep score on this device. From your results, one tap re-drills exactly the questions you missed — nothing else.
Four steps: about a minute to build it, 7 minutes to take it
Every kind of study material, and what we do with it
Turn a PDF or textbook into a quiz
Upload a chapter, a handout, or an exported slide deck. Questions are written from what's actually in the file — with correct answers and short explanations you can check against the source.
Turn a YouTube lecture into a quiz
Paste a link and we read the video's captions. If a video has no captions, paste the transcript from “Show transcript” — the quiz comes out the same.
Turn your own notes into a quiz
Paste lecture notes, a revision summary, or a wall of bullet points. Messy is fine. We test you on what your notes actually claim, not on what a language model thinks the topic is about — if it isn't in your text, it won't be in your quiz.
Photograph a page, or just name a topic
Snap a page of a library book with your phone and we read it. Or skip material entirely and type a topic — “Krebs cycle”, “Spanish preterite”, “AWS VPC peering” — and we build a test from general knowledge.
Who's using it
Students with an exam date
Rereading notes feels productive and isn't. One 7-minute test on the same material finds the gaps rereading hides. For AWS SAA you can drill by domain and get a readiness estimate against a target score.
People chasing a certification
Our AWS Solutions Architect Associate bank is hand-written and tagged to the four official exam-guide domains, so you can see which one is dragging your estimate down.
Teachers and trainers
20 questions from this week's reading in about a minute. Edit anything you don't like, send one link, get everyone's results back in a table. Export to CSV or Excel.
Anyone reading something serious
You finish a good book and three weeks later you can't summarise a chapter. One 7-minute test per chapter is the difference between having read it and actually knowing it.
How we write questions — and why most AI quizzes are bad
Ask any chatbot for a quiz and you get the same failure: questions about the text rather than about the ideas. “Which of the following was mentioned in chapter four?” tests whether you skimmed, not whether you understood. The wrong answers are obviously wrong. You score 19 out of 20 and learn nothing.
Every one of the 48 questions in our SAA-C03 bank was written and hand-checked by us, not generated. That is the standard the generator has to hit, and it follows three rules on every question.
Questions you disagree with can be edited or deleted before you share the quiz.
Why testing beats rereading — the boring science behind this
Rereading is the most popular study method and one of the least effective. It creates fluency — the text feels familiar, so you assume you know it — without creating recall. The moment the page is gone, so is the knowledge. Psychologists call the gap between feeling prepared and being prepared the illusion of competence, and it is the single most common reason people are surprised by their own exam results.
Retrieval works differently. Pulling an answer out of your own head — with no text in front of you — strengthens the path back to it. The effort is the point: a question you nearly get wrong teaches you far more than a paragraph you read twice. This is the testing effect, and it holds across decades of studies on everything from vocabulary to medicine.
Hide the answer
Nothing on screen until you commit. That's what makes it retrieval rather than recognition.Re-drill the misses
One tap re-runs exactly the questions you got wrong — the highest-value minutes in any study session.Explanations that teach
Every answer explains itself, so a wrong pick becomes the moment you actually learn the idea.What you actually get
Flashcard apps are excellent, and so is asking a chatbot for ten questions on a short article. The difference here is that the test is sat, scored, and remembered.

Is QuizGen free?
Local text and word-list practice is free without an account. Confirm your material, practice in groups, and retry missed points here. The separate AI generator offers 5-question tests without an account, up to 2 a day. A free account keeps one generated test; paid plans support continued AI creation and scheduled review.
How accurate are the questions?
For local practice, you confirm the questions and source answers, then rate your recall yourself. The tool checks copied text, not its meaning. AI-generated questions are separate; check their explanations and edit mistakes before sharing.
What file types can I upload?
Local practice uses pasted text or term–definition pairs. The separate AI generator accepts PDF, PNG, JPG, WebP, pasted text, YouTube links with captions, or topics.
How long does it take?
Local practice starts after you confirm source points or word pairs. Practice length depends on your material; the next group becomes review when you have tried every prompt. AI generation time depends on the input.
Can I use it in a language other than English?
Local practice keeps the text you enter, including Chinese. Its controls are in English. For the separate AI generator, questions use the language of your material by default; you can request another language.
Can I share a quiz with my class?
Local practice stays in this browser tab and does not create a sharing link. The separate AI service can create a quiz to share with players who do not need an account.
Is my material private?
Local practice saves confirmed text and answers in sessionStorage in this tab. It does not upload them to AI or analytics. Clear material within each practice mode to remove it. Input you submit to the separate AI generator is sent for generation.
When should I choose local practice or AI?
Choose local practice when you want to confirm your own source points or word pairs and rate your recall. Choose the separate AI generator when you want it to write questions from supported input. Review generated questions before relying on them.
