Quiz Generator
Turn notes you already have into a quiz that marks itself. Paste your notes and it reads the questions and answers out of them, or write the questions yourself. Then test yourself, and print an answer sheet to write on.
Everything happens in this page. Your questions are kept in this browser so a quiz survives a reload, and nothing is sent anywhere.
Loading the quiz tool…
What it can read
In paste mode it reads two shapes. Either the question and answer on one line, separated by a tab, two or more spaces, a dash, or a double colon, or the question on one line with its answer on the next. A single colon is not treated as a separator, because answers contain colons far more often than questions do.
Anything it cannot read confidently is reported rather than dropped. A line silently discarded looks like a working quiz with fewer questions, and you would never learn which one went missing.
How marking works
Case, surrounding spaces and a trailing full stop are ignored. Everything else counts, so “12” and “12.0” are different answers. That strictness is deliberate: a tool that decided two answers were close enough would be guessing on your behalf, and the mark would depend on the guess.
If an answer is genuinely equivalent, count it yourself. If it is nearly right, the distinction you missed is usually the thing being assessed.
Getting more out of it
Write questions with short, exact answers. Ask for the distinction rather than the label, and for the exception rather than the rule, because exams tend to test the exception. Then re-test the ones you got wrong two or three days later, rather than all of them in one sitting.
Using the quiz as a test rather than a review
A quiz generated from your own notes is useful mainly as a first-pass check on what you have written down. If a question cannot be answered from the notes, that is information: either the notes are incomplete or the point was never clear enough to record.
Answer before looking. The temptation with a generated quiz is to read the question, feel that you know it, and move on. That feeling is recognition, and it is a poor predictor of being able to produce the answer when asked without the options in front of you.
Questions generated from text tend to be literal. They test whether you recorded a fact, not whether you understand why it matters or how it connects to something else, so treat a good score as a sign the notes are complete rather than as a sign you are ready.
Come back to the questions you got wrong rather than repeating the whole set. Re-testing what you already know feels productive and is largely wasted effort, while the two or three that caught you out are where the remaining work is.

Common questions
What format should my notes be in?
Two shapes are read. Either question and answer on one line separated by a tab, two or more spaces, a dash, or a double colon, or the question on one line with the answer on the next. A single colon is not treated as a separator, because answers contain colons more often than questions do.
What happens to lines it cannot read?
They are reported rather than dropped. A line silently discarded looks like a working quiz that happens to have fewer questions, and you would never discover which one went missing. Anything skipped is listed so you can fix the formatting.
How strict is the marking?
Case, surrounding spaces and a trailing full stop are ignored. Everything else must match, so "12" and "12.0" are different answers. That strictness is intentional: a tool that decided two answers were close enough would be guessing on your behalf, and the mark would depend on the guess.
Can I print the quiz to write on?
Yes. Print mode produces the questions as a paper with a separate answer key, which is useful when you want to test yourself away from a screen or give the quiz to someone else.
Does it generate questions from my notes automatically?
No. It reads questions you already wrote. Extracting questions from prose is a different and unreliable problem, and a quiz built from misread sentences tests the parser rather than your memory.
Is my quiz uploaded?
No. Parsing, marking and score reporting all happen in the page. Your notes stay in your browser and are not sent anywhere.
What this tool does
Turns notes into a self-marking quiz, or prints an answer sheet to write on.
What you give it
Notes containing questions and answers, or questions typed directly.
What you get back
An interactive quiz with a score, or a printable paper with an answer key.
It runs entirely inside your browser. Nothing you type or open is uploaded, and it works with the network disconnected.
Marking ignores case, surrounding spaces and a trailing full stop. Everything else must match.
