Who reaches for an exam question generator
The student a week out
You have the notes and no idea whether you actually know them. Paste a chapter and answer a set built from your own material, which tells you where the gaps are faster than reading the chapter a third time. Every question points at the line it came from, so a wrong answer sends you to the exact sentence to reread.
The teacher drafting a check
Writing a set of stems and plausible distractors by hand is the slow part of a class quiz. Paste the handout you taught and get a draft you can vet against your spec in a glance, since each question shows the sentence behind it. You keep the good ones and copy them into whatever you already run.
From a study guide to questions
- Paste the notes, spec or chapter, or upload a PDF and let the text be read in your browser.
- Generate. Questions stream in one at a time, each with the source line it was built from underneath.
- Read against the source. A question that misreads your notes gives itself away next to the sentence it came from, so a set is quick to vet before you trust it.
- Answer them on the page to find the gaps, or export the set as a tab separated .txt or a CSV to use elsewhere.
Where an exam question generator stops
The questions are only ever as on-spec as the material you paste, so this is a drill for the facts in your own notes, not a stand-in for an official past paper. It writes multiple choice and nothing else, which means it covers recall well and leaves the essay and long-answer parts of an exam to you. And it works from sentences that make a claim; a page of keyword bullets makes thin questions no generator can fix. What it does do, turn your own material into questions you can check line by line, is the part worth getting right.
Straight answers before you generate
How do I turn my notes into exam questions?
Paste the notes, a chapter or a PDF, and generate. You get multiple choice questions drawn from that material, each showing the exact sentence it came from. Read them, keep the ones worth keeping, and export a tab-separated file or a CSV. There is no account and the first questions arrive in a few seconds.
Does it write essay or short-answer questions?
No. It writes multiple choice only. Essay prompts, short-answer and structured long-response questions are not something it produces, and we would rather say that plainly than hand you a badly-formed essay question. If your exam is mostly written answers, this covers the recall layer underneath them, not the questions themselves.
Is this an official practice exam?
No. It generates questions from text you paste, so it is only ever as on-spec as the material you feed it. It is not affiliated with any exam board and it is not a past paper. Use it to drill the facts in your own notes, then sit a real past paper for timing and format.
Can teachers use it to draft exam questions?
Yes, as a drafting shortcut. Paste the handout or chapter you taught and you get a set of multiple choice stems built from it, each tied to the line it came from so you can vet them against your spec in a glance. It does not build a formatted paper, a marking scheme or a gradebook; you copy the questions into whatever you already use.
Why did one question come out oddly?
The tool turns a sentence with a clear claim into a question, so a bare outline of keywords makes thinner questions than full sentences do. When one reads wrong, the source line sitting under it usually shows why, and a question that cannot point back at your text is never shown to you at all.
