Step by step: build and take a practice exam

  1. 1

    Upload your course material

    Drop in a PDF, paste your notes, or type the topic your exam covers. Syllabi, lecture slides, textbook chapters, and study guides all work — the AI reads them and finds the concepts most likely to be tested.

    Upload your material
  2. 2

    Set your exam conditions

    Choose the number of questions, difficulty, question types, and a time limit. Match it to your real exam as closely as you want — from a quick 10-question check to a full-length timed midterm.

    Set your options
  3. 3

    Take the test under real conditions

    Work through the questions with the countdown running, flag the ones you're unsure about, and jump between them with the navigator — the same way you would on test day.

    Generate a test
  4. 4

    Review every answer and find your gaps

    Submit to get your score with an explanation for every question and a breakdown of which concepts you missed — so you know exactly what to study before the real exam.

Frequently asked questions

How do I create a practice test from my study material?
Upload your PDF, slides, or notes into the creator, set the number of questions, difficulty, and a time limit, then generate. The AI builds a full-length practice test from your material in under a minute.
Is the AI test generator free?
Yes. The free plan includes a monthly allowance of AI generations, so you can build and take practice tests at no cost. Premium plans raise the limits if you need more.
Can I set a time limit like a real exam?
Yes. Timed test mode adds a countdown that matches your real exam, with a question navigator and the ability to flag questions for review — and it auto-submits when time runs out.
What question types can the test include?
Multiple choice, true/false, short answer, fill-in-the-blank, and essay questions. You choose which types to include, and a single test can mix formats to test different depths of understanding.
Can I share a test with my study group?
Yes. Every practice test has a shareable link that works on any device without an account, so classmates can take the same test and compare scores.
Why is taking a practice test better than re-reading?
Retrieving an answer strengthens memory more than re-reading the same material — the testing effect. A practice test also shows you exactly which concepts you don't know yet, while there's still time to fix them.
