Common mistakes
- Text that is opinion-heavy or ambiguous yields weaker questions than factual material.
- Review distractors so none are accidentally also correct.
- Keep each source chunk focused; mixing many topics dilutes question quality.
FAQ
- How do I generate MCQs from a document?
- Paste the document text, set the number of questions, and generate. Each MCQ includes the correct answer, distractors, and an explanation.
- Can I control how many questions it makes?
- Yes. Set the question count before generating. For long material, generate several focused sets rather than one large batch.
- Are the wrong answers plausible?
- The tool writes distractors that fit the topic. Review them so none is unintentionally also correct, and edit any that are too easy.
