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, graph analysis, 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, no account needed, 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), plain text, images, audio/video files, and YouTube links. 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. The answer key is included in every exam, no account needed; a free account is for keeping your exams saved.

What question types can it generate?

Multiple choice, short answer, calculations, 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?

Yes: 2 practice exams a month with every question type, no card required. The Pro tier (from 4.17 euros per month billed yearly) removes the PDF watermark, unlocks every exam template, and raises monthly 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.
