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 see your score, the correct answers 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.
