Practice exam generator
ExamTeX turns your course materials into a printable practice exam. Upload lecture notes, slides, or a past paper; choose question types, difficulty, and length; and get a LaTeX-typeset PDF with a complete answer key. Print it, sit it under timed conditions, and grade yourself the way an examiner would. Built for STEM courses — every equation renders in publication quality.
How it works
1. Upload course materials
Lecture PDFs, slides, Word documents, or a past paper. The generator works from what your course actually covered — not generic textbook questions.
2. Configure the exam
Pick question types (multiple choice, calculations, short answer, proofs, essays), the number of questions, difficulty, and time limit.
3. Print and sit it
The exam compiles to a typeset PDF with an answer key. Sit it timed and closed-book — the practice format that the testing-effect research says transfers to exam day.
What makes it different
Publication-quality math
Exams compile through LaTeX, so integrals, matrices, and statistical notation print the way your real exam paper will — not as ASCII approximations.
Complete answer keys
Every generated exam includes a solutions section, so you can self-grade and find the topics that need another pass.
Your course, not a question bank
Questions are generated from the materials you upload, so they match what your professor actually taught — including the notation your course uses.
Editable before you print
A structured editor lets you reword questions, adjust points, reorder, or delete before compiling the final PDF. A live math preview shows exactly what will print.
When a generator is the wrong tool
If your course publishes real past papers, sit those first — nothing beats the genuine article for format familiarity. A generated exam is most valuable when past papers are scarce, when you have exhausted them, or when you need fresh questions on specific weak topics.
And generation does not replace learning the material. The evidence on practice testing is strong precisely because retrieval is hard — use generated exams to practice retrieval, not to predict questions.
Frequently Asked Questions
What file types can I upload?
PDF, Word (.doc and .docx), PowerPoint (.pptx), and plain text. Most students upload lecture slides or typed notes; past papers work well too.
Does it really include an answer key?
Yes. Every exam generates with a solutions section covering each question, so you can grade your timed attempt and see worked reasoning for calculation questions.
What question types can it generate?
Multiple choice, short answer, calculations, proofs, graph analysis, and essays. You choose the mix when configuring the exam, and you can edit or delete individual questions before printing.
Is the practice exam generator free?
The free tier generates exams with multiple choice and calculation questions at no cost, no card required. The Pro tier (from 4.16 euros per month billed yearly) unlocks all question types and higher limits.
How accurate are AI-generated questions?
Questions are grounded in the materials you upload, which keeps them on-syllabus, and the structured editor exists because you should review them — treat the generated exam as a strong first draft. Math notation is typeset through LaTeX, so formulas render correctly in the final PDF.
