An AI quiz maker that writes from your material
Each question is written from a passage of your own lectures, notes or video, tests one concept and explains why the right answer is right. The quiz covers what your class covers, not what the internet asks about the topic. Students use it to quiz themselves before an exam, and teachers use it to draft a quiz from a handout they already have.
For students: quiz yourself, then quiz your gaps
Take a first quiz on the whole lecture to see where you stand. Every question is tagged with the concept it tests, so your results show which concepts you missed, weakest first, not just a score. Then make a second quiz on only those concepts, and ask what to focus on if you are not sure where to start. A couple of rounds like that covers a topic faster than rereading, and Bo, the tutor next to your quiz, can explain any question you got wrong using your own material.
For teachers: a quiz from your own handout
Upload the handout or slides you taught and make a quiz from them. If something should change, use the edit button on the quiz, then share the course with your students by one link. If you prefer paper, export a blank worksheet.
Quiz maker vs Kahoot and Google Forms
Kahoot is made for live quiz games in a classroom, and Google Forms is a general form builder. Both are good at what they do, but neither is built around your course material. StudyPDF writes the quiz from your own lectures, mixes six question types, including multi-select and short answer you grade yourself, and prints as a worksheet.
Starting from one file you already have? The PDF to quiz converter walks through that case step by step.
What makes the questions good
Questions can include the real figures from your slides. Diagrams, charts and tables are cropped out of your pages, so a question can say "using the chart below" and show your chart, not a made-up one.
A verification pass checks the citations against your material, and each question is tagged with the concept it tests. That is how your results can be broken down per concept.

4 more questions
Can I make a multiple choice quiz?
Yes. Pick multiple choice as the only question type, or mix it with others. Each question comes with an explanation of why the right answer is right, and the source page to check it.
How do I share a quiz with students?
Two ways: export a PDF, either as a blank worksheet with the answer key on its own page or with solutions inline, or share the course by link. Students join with a free account and study it on their own.
Quiz maker vs Kahoot: what is the difference?
Kahoot is built for live, game-style quizzes you run in a classroom. StudyPDF is built for studying: it writes the questions from your own material, with an explanation and a source page on every question, and results per concept that show what to review next.
What is a quiz maker?
A quiz maker is a tool for building quizzes. An AI quiz maker like StudyPDF writes the questions for you: you upload your notes, slides or a lecture video, and it turns them into a quiz with explanations, so you spend your time answering instead of writing questions.
