The AI Quiz Generator Built for Teachers
Turn PDFs, lecture notes, or any topic into a graded quiz in under a minute. Per-student analytics, Google Classroom integration, and a review queue that schedules itself. Save ~5 hours a week.
5 AI generations / month free • Unlimited student submissions • No student accounts required
45 minutes → 60 seconds per quiz
Hand-writing a 10-question quiz from a textbook chapter typically takes 45-90 minutes. SimpleQuizMaker does the first draft in under a minute. The remaining work is a 30-second human review — which is where you stay in control of question quality.
Generate quizzes from anything you teach with
All input formats available on the free plan.
Five workflows AI quizzes unlock for teachers
Each is built around how teachers actually use class time.
Generate from chapter PDFs
Drop a textbook chapter or handout PDF. Get a 10-question quiz with explanations in under a minute.
Bell-ringer & exit-ticket quizzes
3-question micro-quizzes that grade themselves. Use to start or close a class period.
Async homework & practice
Share a public link. Students take quizzes on any device — no accounts required.
Differentiated quizzes
Same content, three difficulty levels. Match what each student needs.
Spaced-repetition review queue
Wrong answers automatically schedule future practice. Retention beats one-shot tests.
What separates a good AI quiz tool from a bad one
Question quality. AI that asks real comprehension questions — not keyword traps. Test by uploading the same chapter to three tools and reading the questions side-by-side.
Multi-format input. Real classrooms have PDFs, scanned handouts, lecture videos, and websites. A tool that only handles pasted text is a demo, not a workflow.
Per-student tracking. An aggregate class score tells you nothing about who needs intervention. Per-question analytics across submissions does.
A free tier you can actually use. "Free" that locks PDF upload or analytics is a trial in disguise. Real free plans give you enough usage to know if the tool fits.
Question types and when to use each
Multiple choice
Fast grading, strong for recall and application. AI generates 3-4 plausible distractors per question. Use for ~70% of most quizzes.
True / False
Fast but distractor-prone — cap at ~30% of a quiz. Best as a quick check on factual claims.
Short answer
High evidence of understanding; requires brief manual review. Use 2-3 per quiz for the concepts that matter most.

Teacher FAQ
Is it really free for teachers?
Yes. The free plan includes 5 AI quiz generations per month and unlimited student submissions. No credit card. No trial limit on PDF upload.
Do students need to create accounts to take quizzes?
No. Quizzes are shared via a public link. Students enter their name (or remain anonymous) and take the quiz directly. You still get per-student submission tracking.
Does it integrate with Google Classroom?
Yes — attach the quiz link as an assignment in Google Classroom. Results sync back to your dashboard.
Is student data safe?
Student submissions are stored encrypted. We do not share data with third parties or use it to train models. See our privacy policy for specifics.
Can I edit AI-generated questions?
Yes. Every question is editable after generation. Most teachers tweak 2-4 questions per quiz before sharing.
How does it compare to Kahoot for engagement?
Kahoot wins on live game-show energy. SimpleQuizMaker wins on asynchronous homework, per-question analytics, and AI generation. Many teachers use both for different purposes.
Can I share my quizzes with other teachers?
