Example: a real quiz from this tool
Input: “Total revenue (TR = P x Q) link ** important. elastic: P up -> TR down (Q falls by bigger %). inelastic: P up -> TR up. Midpoint method (use on exam!!): %chg = change / avg of start & end. avoids diff answer depending on direction. Q from class: is PED same along a straight line demand curve? NO - slope constant but elasticity changes, more elastic at high P / low Q end, inelastic at low P end.”
- If a firm experiences inelastic demand and raises its prices, what is the expected effect on total revenue? A. Total revenue will decrease · B. Total revenue will remain unchanged · C. Total revenue will increase ✓ · D. Total revenue will fluctuate unpredictably
Why: When demand is inelastic, raising prices leads to an increase in total revenue because the percentage decrease in quantity demanded is smaller than the percentage increase in price. - How does the midpoint method for calculating percentage change help avoid discrepancies in elasticity calculations? A. It uses the initial price as a reference point · B. It calculates change based on the average of start and end values ✓ · C. It assumes linear demand curves · D. It only applies to elastic demand scenarios
Why: The midpoint method calculates percentage change using the average of the starting and ending values, which helps ensure consistent results regardless of the direction of the change. - In a straight line demand curve, how does elasticity vary along the curve? A. Elasticity remains constant throughout · B. Elasticity increases at lower prices · C. Elasticity decreases at higher prices · D. Elasticity varies, being more elastic at high prices and less elastic at low prices ✓
Why: While the slope of a straight line demand curve is constant, elasticity changes; it is more elastic at higher prices and lower quantities and less elastic at lower prices and higher quantities.
Your notes don't need to be tidy
Real lecture notes are full of arrows, abbreviations and half-sentences: "P up -> TR down", "LR", "subs avail". The model reads these the way a classmate would, so the example above was generated from notes written exactly like that, and the questions come out in full sentences. You do not need to rewrite anything before generating.
What does trip it up is shorthand that only you understand. Standard abbreviations for your subject (PED, TR, ATP, mRNA) are fine. A private code, such as "see q3 thing" or a symbol you invented, gives the AI nothing to test. If a line only makes sense to you, expand it in a few words or leave it out.
Handwritten notes: getting a clean read
Attach up to 5 photos per quiz (8MB each). They are read with AI text recognition, which handles most legible handwriting. Take each photo straight on, in good light, one page per photo, and crop out the desk. Pencil on lined paper and very small writing are the most common reasons a line gets misread.
You can mix sources in one quiz: photos of the pages you handwrote, the PDF handout, and a few typed lines of anything you added afterwards. Each file is labelled for the AI so it knows where one ends and the next begins.
Quiz yourself the same day, then again later
The best time for a first quiz is the evening after the lecture, while gaps in your notes can still be filled from the slides or a classmate. A wrong answer on a same-day quiz often means the note itself is incomplete, not that you forgot. With a free account the quiz and your attached files are saved, so you can retake it a week later and before the exam without uploading again.
Frequently asked questions
Can it read my handwriting?
Usually, if a classmate could read it. Photos are transcribed with AI text recognition before the quiz is written. Very faint pencil, heavy crossing out and dense margin notes are where it struggles; a sharper, well-lit photo fixes most problems.
My notes are mostly abbreviations. Will the questions make sense?
Standard abbreviations for your subject are expanded in the questions, as in the elasticity example on this page. Personal shorthand that only you understand cannot be, so expand those lines briefly before generating.
What if my notes have gaps or mistakes?
The quiz only tests what is in your notes, so a missing step becomes a missing question, and a wrong note produces a confidently wrong answer. If a question contradicts what you remember from the lecture, check your slides or textbook: that is often a mistake in the notes worth fixing.
Can I combine notes from several lectures into one quiz?
Yes, up to about 3,000 words of pasted text plus up to 5 attached files. For exam review, one quiz per lecture or topic usually gives better coverage than one quiz for the whole module, because the questions are spread across everything you include.
