How do I generate a practice test from notes?
Start by dragging your document into the upload area or tapping the mobile button to snap a photo of a notebook page. Quizly supports PDF, DOCX, and plain‑text formats, and it automatically extracts the textual content using OCR for images. The AI then parses headings, bullet points, and highlighted terms to build a knowledge map of the material.
From the settings panel you select the desired number of questions, the difficulty tier (easy, medium, hard), and the specific topics you want to emphasize. Within moments, Quizly produces a complete test with a balanced mix of question types, each linked to the original source paragraph for quick reference.
Can I use a PDF or class notes?
Quizly’s document ingestion engine handles PDFs, Word documents, and even raw text files without requiring you to convert them first. When you upload a PDF, the system extracts the textual hierarchy, preserving chapter and section titles, so the generated quiz reflects the structure of the original material.
If your notes are handwritten, simply photograph the page using the mobile app. The built‑in OCR converts the image into editable text, after which the same AI workflow creates questions directly from your scribbles. This seamless integration means you never need to retype your lecture notes to get a practice test.
Why use Quizly instead of doing it manually?
Manual quiz creation consumes valuable study time: you must read the material, identify key concepts, write stems, craft distractors, and format everything consistently. Quizly eliminates those steps by automating the extraction of concepts and generating high‑quality questions that are ready to deploy.
Beyond speed, the AI provides educational benefits such as active recall and immediate feedback. Each question forces you to retrieve information from memory, while the correction page explains why an answer is correct, reinforcing learning through elaboration. This transforms passive note‑review into an active study session.
