This tool turns your notes into gap-fill questions: it takes your sentences and removes the key term from each, leaving you to supply it from memory. That is retrieval practice, and it is one of the best-evidenced study techniques there is.
Every question is your own sentence. Nothing is rewritten and no facts are added, so the quiz cannot test you on something your course never said — a real risk with any tool that generates questions from scratch.
Each sentence of at least six words becomes a candidate question. Within it, the longest word that is not a common function word is removed and replaced by a blank — in practice that is usually the technical term worth remembering.
The selection is deterministic, so the same notes always produce the same quiz. That matters if you are printing it for a study group or coming back to it a week later: you are revising the same material, not a different sample of it.
A multiple-choice question lets you recognise the answer among the options. A gap-fill makes you produce it with no cue at all, which is a considerably more demanding form of retrieval — and a better predictor of whether you can use the term in an exam answer.
The discomfort is the point. If a gap feels difficult, that is the signal you needed: it identifies exactly which term has not stuck yet, which is information rereading your notes would never have given you.
This tool needs prose. Full sentences with a definition or a mechanism in them produce good gaps: "Photosynthesis takes place in the chloroplast and requires carbon dioxide" gives you two solid questions.
Bullet fragments and bare term lists give it nothing to blank out — there is no sentence to leave a gap in. For that kind of material use the flashcard maker or the MCQ generator, which are built for term-and-definition pairs.
Answer aloud or in writing before revealing. Silently thinking "I know this one" is the illusion of fluency and the reason cramming feels like it worked. Committing to an answer is what makes the feedback useful.
Then focus your next session on the gaps you missed rather than starting the quiz again from the beginning. Time spent on material you already know is time not spent on the material that will cost you marks.
Your own sentences, with a key term removed from each. No content is invented or rewritten, so the quiz only tests what your notes actually say.
The tool needs full sentences of at least six words. Bullet fragments and single-word lists have nothing to blank out — use the flashcard maker or MCQ generator for those.
Yes. Copy the quiz and answer key with the copy button and paste it into a document.
Yes. Term selection is deterministic, so the quiz is reproducible for printing or repeat practice.
No. Everything runs in your browser, and your notes are saved only in this browser's local storage.
