Re-reading your notes feels productive, but it's one of the weakest ways to actually remember anything. The research is clear: testing yourself—pulling answers out of your head—is what makes knowledge stick. The problem has always been that writing good practice questions takes forever.
That's exactly what Recall Genie's Multiple Choice Quiz Generator solves. Upload a PDF, and it builds exam-style multiple choice questions for you in minutes.
How it works
- Upload a PDF — lecture slides, your own notes, or a textbook chapter.
- Choose your depth — quick recall checks for a fast review, or deeper, exam-grade questions when it's crunch time.
- Generate — Recall Genie reads the material and writes the questions, answer choices, and explanations.
- Download and study — your quiz downloads as an Anki deck (.apkg), so you study it right inside Anki and fold it into your spaced-repetition routine.
What makes the questions actually useful
- Smart distractors. The wrong answers are plausible, not throwaway—so you're forced to truly discriminate, the way a real exam makes you.
- Explanations on every question. You learn why an answer is right (and why the others aren't), turning every miss into a lesson.
- Grounded in your material. Questions come from the content you uploaded, so you're tested on what you actually need to know.
Why active recall beats re-reading
Every time you retrieve a fact from memory, you make it easier to retrieve next time. Multiple choice quizzing is one of the fastest ways to get that retrieval practice in.
Pair your generated quizzes with spaced repetition in Anki and you've got a study loop that's hard to beat: test, review the explanation, space it out, repeat.
