PDF to quiz
Turn your PDF into a quiz that tests understanding
Give your reading a second job. Add its pages to a course section, let Examo prepare the summary, then generate questions from that material. Choose your question types manually, or use a mock exam as a guide.
- Your selected PDF pages
- Manual or mock-guided
- Marked written answers
A fact in the reading becomes an application question
Example with sample content.
Sample PDF concept
When demand is inelastic, quantity demanded changes proportionally less than price.
Practice question
A price rises by 10% and quantity demanded falls by 4%. Calculate the price elasticity of demand and explain what this suggests about total revenue.
Check: elasticity is −0.4, so demand is inelastic. Total revenue rises because the price increase outweighs the proportional fall in quantity.

Examo vs a general AI chat
| Topic | Examo | A general AI chat |
|---|---|---|
| Where questions come from | Each section of your own course material. | Whatever you paste in for that conversation. |
| Exam patterns | Reads how past questions are framed and which keep coming up, then writes new ones the same way. | Matches a style only if you describe it in your prompt. |
| Written answers | Marked part by part, with feedback and the points you missed. | Feedback depends on how you ask for it. |
| Mock exams | Exact question counts and an optional time limit. | Not set up as a timed exam. |
Examo as it works today. General AI chat apps differ, and many can do more with careful prompts.
Good to know
- Questions are made section by section, so add material to a section before practising it.
- AI marking can be wrong. Check important marks against your course's own mark scheme.
- Coding questions are written answers marked against a rubric; the code is not run.
- Exam patterns show what past papers had in common. They do not predict the questions on your exam.
Plans
Free includes practice questions within a monthly allowance and up to 5 past papers for exam patterns. Pro raises the limits, takes more past papers and lets you share a mock exam by link. Plans in the FAQ.

How do I make a quiz from a PDF?
Add the PDF pages to a course section and select Practice questions. Examo prepares the summary foundation, then uses it to generate your selected question formats.
Do I have to supply a mock exam?
No. Choose manual generation to select question types yourself. A mock exam is an optional way to guide the structure and style.
Can I choose MCQ and other question types?
Yes. The manual Practice questions setup lets you choose supported formats, including MCQ, MRQ and written questions.
Is this the same as configuring an exam?
No. Creating practice questions saves them in the section. Configure an exam selects from questions that already exist.
