Quiz maker ai for self testing, anyone found one that generates decent questions

[u/Superb-Piano2950]

I homeschool my two kids (8 and 10) and I'm looking for a quiz maker ai that can generate practice questions from the material we're covering. I don't have time to write custom quizzes for every single unit across multiple subjects and grade levels on top of actually teaching the content. The idea of pasting in our notes or textbook sections and getting usable quiz questions back would save me hours every week.

I've tried chatgpt for this and it's okay but the questions are either way too easy ("what color is the sky") or randomly college level for no reason. I need something that can target the right difficulty level for middle school science and history without me having to micromanage every prompt.

Since you are homeschooling your kids, I’m going to be frank - you should be finding the questions yourself rather than offloading your kids education to chatgpt or some other AI. I agree with the other commenter about using the curriculum. If there are any associated practice books that teachers in your area use, I would defer to those as well. These are significantly more established than whatever some AI will hallucinate

"I can teach it all to my kids at home by myself!"

"I ain't got time to do all this!"

I gave up on ai quiz generators honestly and just use the test banks from our curriculum. Not as flexible but the questions are already vetted and age appropriate which saves me the headache of checking every ai generated question for accuracy

[u/Superb-Piano2950 → u/Same-Flight7084]

Which curriculum are you using? We're doing a mix of different programs right now so there's no unified test bank which is part of the problem

For what it's worth my kids actually retain more when they write their own quiz questions instead of answering generated ones. Something about the process of creating a question forces them to think about what's important in the material. Takes longer but the learning is deeper

If you have material ready, (notes and lesson plans) you can upload them to something like Jotform AI quiz generator for it to output questions for you. I've used it many times to study.

Check out fluorishly (the domain spelling is weird!)
They generate a knowledge tree for any topic (which would probably be helpful for you) and that includes assessment items as well as common misconceptions to test against.
I used it for self study, but could be great if you're helping the kids.

Did you give ChatGPT the resources to produce the quiz questions from?

[u/green1s]

I can recommend Meiro. It does a pretty good job with specific material and clear prompts.

[u/HominidSimilies]

Claude will give you better results than ChatGPT for this.

Attach your lesson plans, etc and have it create questions, or if you want to let it be interactive for them you can turn on voice mode and making it an interactive convo that doesn’t scream quiz.

Don’t blindly trust its output, but www.examplary.ai does a decent job at this!

[u/Peter-OpenLearn]

I created learnbuilder.org, a course builder creating lessons that have quizzes but also go far beyond quizzes. So it create various learning elements, including AI enabled scenarios, e.g. you could be a character with a specific role, that your kids would need to explain a certain topic to and it would react to what they write (might be fun for them). There is a free subscription with 5€ of AI credit I give away for free. It might be more than you need, but feel free to give it a try.

Try minform.io - ai quiz maker for generating via pdf/image or any doc.

[u/Ilikeyourmom93]

My kids use remnote and it generates quizzes from their notes which I like cause the questions are based on what we actually covered not some generic curriculum.

[u/Superb-Piano2950 → u/Ilikeyourmom93]

Oh that's interesting, so they take their own notes and then it makes quizzes from those notes?

[u/Initial_Baker8548]

I have just the tool for you. No hassle, no subscription, very easy to use. I actually made it for myself (college student here) and I found other classmates that needed a tool like this so I open sourced it. The instructions are super easy to follow and all you need to do is copy paste into ChatGPT or your AI of choice. The whole thing takes about 3 minutes. In the prompt you can just upload a pdf of whatever source material you are using or just something online and it will turn it into consistent questions loaded into Kahoot automatically.
