AI question generator: how to turn your material into practice questions you can trust
For tutors and test prep teachers who need hundreds of practice questions and want AI to do the first draft, without letting wrong answers reach students.
Start on the Free plan: it never expires and needs no credit card. Upgrade whenever you need more.
In short
AI is good at drafting questions and bad at knowing when it is wrong. Use it on your own material, ask for questions whose correct answer can be checked against the text, and review every question before students see it.
In Acatudy, Quiddy drafts multiple-choice questions from your PDF or text, or math problems from a topic and level, and flags the ones that fail an automatic check so you can fix or discard them before saving.
1. Start from your own material
A generator that writes “from general knowledge” will produce questions that do not match your syllabus or, worse, have wrong keys. Give it the text students are expected to know: your unit notes, a chapter, the official content outline.
Work unit by unit. A focused PDF of one unit produces better questions than a 300-page book, and it maps the questions to the right topic in your bank.
2. Ask for answers that can be checked
The most useful questions are the ones you can verify in seconds:
- Literal questions from a text. The correct option reproduces the source sentence; only the wrong options change a figure, a date or a key word. Checking means finding the sentence.
- Math problems solved twice. A second, independent solution confirms the marked answer. If the two disagree, the question needs a human.
- Wrong options from real mistakes. Distractors built from typical errors (a sign error, a forgotten step) teach more than random numbers.
Quiddy works this way. With literal text, the explanation students see reproduces the source with the supporting sentence in bold. With math, it works from a topic and level (Grade 6 to Precalculus, SAT or ACT, among others) and shows the step-by-step solution. Numeric answers accept equivalent forms such as 3/4 and 0.75.
3. Review before anything reaches students
Never publish generated questions unseen. In Acatudy every question is editable on the review screen; those that fail a check are flagged with the reason, for example when the correct answer is not found word for word in the text or when the second solution gives a different result. Fix, regenerate or discard them, then save.
Saved questions keep their source (Quiddy, imported or manual), and the bank can show only the questions that still need review, so nothing slips through.
4. Put the questions to work
- Save them to the practice bank so students can build their own practice tests by topic.
- Or save them to the exam bank and create a draft exam with them in the same step.
- Track which ones students miss most and rewrite them. See how to grade exams fast for item analysis.
Plans and AI Tokens
The question generator is included on the Basic, Professional and Institutional plans. It uses the account's monthly pool of AI Tokens: 200 on Basic, 800 on Professional and 2,000 on Institutional. Each question spends tokens by difficulty: 1 for Easy, 1 for Normal, 2 for Mixed and 3 for Hard. If the pool runs out, you can buy one-time AI Token packs that do not expire.
Only your source text or topic is sent to the AI service; your students' data never is.
Frequently asked questions
Can AI write good multiple-choice questions?
It can write a good first draft, especially from a specific text. The quality comes from checking: a correct option you can find in the source, plausible wrong options and a teacher who reviews each question.
Does Quiddy invent content?
With literal text it only writes questions from your text, and the correct answer must appear word for word; questions that fail that check are flagged for review.
Can I generate math questions?
Yes. Choose a topic and a level, optionally add your theory or sample exercises, and Quiddy writes multiple-choice or numeric problems, each checked by a second independent solution.
Is the AI question generator on the Free plan?
No. It is included from the Basic plan and uses the account's monthly AI Tokens.
Can students see questions that still need review?
Questions you save are visible to students like any other question in the bank, so review flagged questions before saving or use the review filter afterwards.
