What is an AI exam generator?

How do I generate an exam from a PDF?

Generating an exam from a PDF is straightforward: 1) Upload your PDF document or course materials, 2) Our AI analyzes the content, identifies key topics, and determines appropriate question types, 3) It generates a complete exam with multiple sections and varied question formats, 4) Customize the structure, points, and questions, then export with an answer key.

Is the exam generator free?

Can I create exams with different sections and point values?
