Where does the Calvin cycle take place?
- Thylakoid membrane
- StromaCorrect
- Cytoplasm
- Mitochondrial matrix
Why: the notes place the light reactions in the thylakoids and the Calvin cycle in the stroma.

Example: a quiz generated from lecture notes
Input (pasted notes)
“Photosynthesis converts light energy into chemical energy. The light reactions happen in the thylakoid membranes and produce ATP and NADPH; the Calvin cycle in the stroma uses them to fix CO₂ into glucose. Chlorophyll absorbs mostly red and blue light.”
Which products of the light reactions does the Calvin cycle use?
- Glucose and O₂
- ATP and NADPHCorrect
- CO₂ and water
- ADP and NADP⁺
Why: ATP and NADPH carry the captured energy into carbon fixation.
Why do leaves look green?
- Chlorophyll absorbs green light
- Chlorophyll absorbs mostly red and blue light and reflects greenCorrect
- Glucose is green
- The stroma reflects light
Why: the pigment absorbs red and blue; the reflected green is what we see.
Why testing yourself beats re-reading
The testing effect (Roediger and Karpicke, 2006) is one of the most replicated findings in learning science: being quizzed on material produces dramatically better long-term retention than re-reading it. This tool exists to make that easy — paste what you just studied and get an active-recall quiz in seconds, no manual question-writing required.
What makes a good auto-generated quiz question
- No throwaway distractors. All four options are plausible, similar length, similar phrasing.
- No recognition-only questions. The correct answer isn’t obviously matched from keywords in the stem.
- No “all of the above” filler.
- Grounded answers. Every question tests material your pasted text actually establishes.
What text works best
Structured material — textbook sections, lecture notes, glossary-style study guides — produces sharp questions. Casual or narrative writing produces vague ones because there's nothing concrete to test. Aim for 200–2,000 words of focused content.
Sharp questions
- Textbook sections
- Lecture notes
- Glossary-style study guides
Vague questions
- Casual writing
- Narrative writing
Frequently asked questions
Is the text to quiz generator really free?
Yes — free, no credit card. The first 5 questions show with no signup; a free account unlocks the rest, PDF/TXT download, and saves the quiz. Up to 10 quizzes per hour.
What text works best?
Structured study material — textbook chapters, lecture notes, study guides. Vague or narrative text produces weaker, vaguer questions because the AI can't identify what is "test-worthy."
How long can the input be?
Up to 20,000 characters (~3,000 words) per generation. For a full lecture transcript or a much longer document, split it into sections, or paste a YouTube link into Notiq and let the chunked pipeline handle the whole thing.
Can I upload photos, PDFs or Word files?
Yes. Attach up to 5 files — photos of handwritten notes or textbook pages, PDF, Word (DOCX), PowerPoint (PPTX) or TXT, 8MB each — on their own or together with pasted text. Photos are read with AI text recognition, so handwriting works if it is legible.
Why do I need an account for the rest of the questions?
So the quiz is kept: the first 5 questions are free with no signup, and a free account (one click with Google) shows the rest, lets you download it, and saves it to your notebook so you can retake it later.
Are the quizzes saved anywhere?
With a free account, every quiz is saved automatically to your Quizzes, together with the files you attached, so you can retake it any time. Without an account the quiz is not saved, and attached files are deleted after 24 hours.
How is this different from asking ChatGPT for a quiz?
The prompt here is specifically tuned against common AI quiz failure modes — throwaway distractors, recognition-only questions, "all of the above" filler — and every answer is grounded strictly in what you pasted.
