A ClassMarker Alternative That Starts From Your Material, Not a Blank Form
ClassMarker is a long-established online testing platform built around manually authored exams. SimpleQuizMaker starts one step earlier: hand it a PDF, an image or a topic and it writes the questions, then shares the quiz by link — no account needed for the people taking it.

Why Teachers Switch From ClassMarker
Common frustrations that bring users to SimpleQuizMaker
You write every question yourself
ClassMarker is a test builder, not a generator. The questions, options and answer keys are all typed in by hand, which is where the hours actually go.
Built for formal assessment
Its strengths are exam delivery, proctoring and certificates. That is a heavier setup than most people need for a class quiz or a study check.
No study loop after the test
A finished test is the end of the workflow. There is no flashcard mode or spaced-repetition queue to keep the material alive afterwards.
Source material is not an input
A lecture PDF, a photo of a textbook page or a YouTube lecture cannot be turned into questions — they are just reference material you read while typing.
What SimpleQuizMaker Does Better
Why ClassMarker users love the switch
The questions are written for you
Paste a topic or upload a PDF, DOCX, image (OCR), URL or YouTube link and get a full quiz in about ten seconds.
Takers need no account
Share one public link. Students answer in the browser, on a phone if that is what they have, and results come back to you.
Quiz, flashcards and review in one place
The same upload becomes a quiz and a flashcard deck, and missed questions feed an SM-2 spaced-repetition queue.
A free plan you can actually use
5 AI generations a month and unlimited submissions, no card required.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does SimpleQuizMaker replace ClassMarker for formal exams?
Not entirely. ClassMarker is built for supervised assessment and offers proctoring and certificates; SimpleQuizMaker does not. For graded classroom quizzes, homework checks and study practice it covers the same ground with far less setup.
Do my students need to create an account?
No. You share a public link and they answer in the browser. Only the person creating the quiz needs an account.
Can I still write questions by hand?
Yes. Everything the AI generates is editable, and you can add, rewrite or delete questions before sharing — or write the whole quiz yourself.
Is there really a free plan?
Yes — 5 AI quiz generations a month plus unlimited submissions, with no credit card. The paid Student plan raises the generation limit.
