Type real short-answer and essay responses and get them graded by AI against your material — not just tap through multiple choice.

A plan that counts down to test day

Frequently asked questions

Is AceQuiz a NotebookLM alternative?
It's a complement more than a clone. NotebookLM is excellent for understanding your sources — grounded chat, summaries, and briefings. AceQuiz takes the same material and gets you exam-ready on it: timed mock exams, AI-graded typed answers, and a plan that counts down to your test date.
What does AceQuiz do that NotebookLM doesn't?
NotebookLM helps you understand your notes; AceQuiz makes sure you can reproduce them under exam pressure. That means a timed, full-length mock exam, typed short-answer and essay responses graded by AI (not just multiple choice), an exam-date study plan, and the ability to export your questions to study anywhere.
Can I upload my own notes and PDFs?
Yes. Upload your slides, PDFs, lecture notes, or paste text into the creator above, and AceQuiz builds exam-style questions from your material — the same source-grounded approach, aimed at the exam instead of at comprehension.
Should I stop using NotebookLM?
No — keep using it for what it's great at. Read and understand a dense source in NotebookLM, then bring that same material to AceQuiz when the goal shifts from understanding it to passing an exam on it. Many students use both.
Does it cost anything?
The core study modes are free. If you want extra AI generation during a heavy exam week, there's a $2.99 one-week pass — no long-term subscription required.
