PDF to quiz
Make a quiz from a PDF
A chapter, a paper, a set of slides exported to PDF. The text is read in your browser, you pick the pages if it is long, and the quiz is made from that text.
Drop a PDF here
Text-based PDFs up to about 45 pages per quiz. Scanned PDFs: photograph the page in the app instead.
The PDF stays on your device; only the extracted text is passed to the app, held for at most an hour, then deleted. You will sign in with Google or Apple on the next screen.
What you get
Questions that cite the page they came from.
A 10-question set: fill-ins and short answers first, then multiple choice with plausible wrong options, two “explain why” and one applied question. Each answer shows its source line from the PDF, so a misread table or a hallucinated date is caught at once. The questions you miss come back on a schedule until you get them right three days in a row.
Why should a rational decision ignore sunk costs?
- Sunk costs cannot be recovered whatever you decide next.
- Only future costs and benefits change with the decision.
