Paste a list of terms and definitions and this tool builds multiple-choice questions from it, marks your answers, and gives you a printable paper with an answer key.
The wrong answers are the definitions of your other terms. That is a deliberate design choice: inventing plausible-sounding distractors would mean putting fabricated statements in front of someone revising for an exam. Here every option is real material from your own notes, which also makes the questions genuinely discriminating — the distractors are the things you actually have to tell apart.
For each question the correct answer is that term's definition, and the other options are definitions belonging to other terms in your list. The correct answer's position rotates between questions so it is not always in the same slot, and the distractors rotate too so the same wrong answers do not cluster on every item.
Because everything is drawn from your list, the number of options depends on how many terms you enter. Four terms gives four options; two terms gives two. Add at least four for a conventional paper.
A generated distractor is a statement nobody has checked. On a revision quiz that is actively harmful: read a convincing false definition four or five times while practising and it competes with the correct one in memory. Exposure to plausible misinformation during study is a well-documented way to acquire it.
Using your own other definitions avoids the problem entirely. Every option is something from your course, so even the wrong answers are worth reading, and confusing two of them tells you something real about a gap in your understanding.
Multiple choice tests recognition: the answer is on the page and you have to pick it. That makes it easier than producing an answer from nothing, and it means a strong MCQ score can overstate how well you would do on a written exam.
Use it accordingly. MCQs are good for checking coverage across a lot of material quickly, and good practice when your actual exam is multiple choice. Where the exam requires written answers, pair it with the flashcard maker or the gap-fill quiz, both of which demand recall.
Keep your definitions similar in length. If one option is three words and the rest are twenty, the odd one out is visible without knowing anything about the subject — a giveaway that exam writers work hard to avoid.
Group terms that genuinely resemble each other. A set of four easily confused concepts produces far more useful questions than four unrelated ones, because telling them apart is exactly the skill an exam will test.
From the definitions of your other terms. Nothing is invented, so every option on the page is real material from your notes.
At least two for the tool to work, and four or more for conventional four-option questions. The option count follows the number of terms you provide.
Because there were not enough distinct definitions to fill four slots. Add more terms, or check whether several of your definitions are identical.
Yes. The copy button gives you the questions with lettered options and an answer key.
For recall, no — multiple choice tests recognition, which is easier. It is excellent for covering a lot of ground quickly and for practising an MCQ-format exam.
