Making practice questions by hand takes hours. GetGPT's Quiz Generator does the heavy lifting for you: give it your study material, and it writes quiz questions for you, complete with answers and explanations. You can solve the quiz right on the page or save it as a file.

This guide walks you through the whole flow, from your first upload to a finished quiz.

Write different kinds of questions: multiple choice, short answer, ordering, chart/table-based, and questions with a reading passage
Match your level: pick the school level, grade, subject, and difficulty (Low, Medium, High, or Advanced)
Show answers and explanations for every question, with references back to your source material
Let you solve the quiz online with automatic grading, or save it as a PDF or Word file

Step 1: Open the Quiz Generator

Head to getgpt.app/exam, or click Quiz Generator in the top menu on GetGPT. You'll see the settings panel on the left and a preview area on the right.

Step 2: Add your material

You have two options under Source Content:

Paste text directly into the box (up to 12,000 characters) - great for notes you already have
Upload Materials - attach a PDF, DOCX, or PNG/JPG image of your material

Once your file is attached, you'll see it as a chip in the source box, and a preview opens on the right so you can check that everything looks right.

Step 3: Choose your settings and generate

Now tell the Quiz Generator what kind of quiz you want:

School Level, Grade, and Subject - for example, High school, Grade 10, Science
Question Type - Multiple Choice (5), Include Passage, Chart/Table, Short Answer, Ordering, or Custom Input. You can pick more than one.
Number of Questions - up to 5 for free users, up to 10 with GetGPT Pass
Difficulty - Low, Medium, High, or Advanced
Include Images (Beta) - optionally add generated images to your questions

Then click Generate Questions and give it a moment. The progress indicator shows each question as it's finished.

Step 4: Review your questions

When generation finishes, you'll see the full question list. Toggle Show Answers to reveal the answer and explanation for each question. When a question is based on your uploaded file, the answer can show which part of your material it came from, so you can check it against the source.

Generated questions with answers, explanations, and source references

Here's the flow from clicking generate to reviewing the finished questions:

From generation to a finished quiz with answers and explanations

Take a minute to read the answers before you use the quiz. AI-generated questions are a study aid, and a quick review against your material is always worth it - especially before printing anything for a class.

Each question comes with an answer and an explanation you can review

Step 5: Solve it online or save it as a file

Your quiz is ready to use right away:

Solve opens an interactive solving mode. Pick your answers, then click Grade to see your score. Reset starts you over.
Copy / Copy All copies one question or the whole quiz to your clipboard.
Save file exports the quiz as a PDF or Word document - handy for printing or sharing in class.
Every generated quiz gets its own link (it looks like getgpt.app/exam/abc123), so you can come back to it or share it.
History keeps your past generations in one place.

Tips for better questions

Use readable material. Clean, well-structured text gives the best questions. If you're uploading a scan or a photo, make sure the text is sharp.
Stay focused. A chapter on one topic gives more focused questions than a whole textbook.
Match the difficulty to your goal. Start with Medium, then go High or Advanced when you want a challenge.
Review before you print. Check answers and explanations against your source material first.
