Multiple Choice Generator FAQ

How do I make multiple choice questions from text?

Simply paste your study material into the generator. The AI extracts key facts and concepts, formulates clear question stems, and creates one correct answer with three plausible distractors — all in under 30 seconds.

How many options do the generated MCQs have?

Each question has 4 options — one correct answer and three distractors. This follows the standard MCQ format used in most exams, standardized tests, and educational assessments worldwide.

Are the wrong answers (distractors) realistic?

Yes. The AI generates distractors based on related concepts from your text, not random answers. This means the wrong options are plausible enough to test real understanding, similar to professionally written exam questions.

What content works best for generating MCQs?

Factual, educational content works best — textbook chapters, lecture notes, study guides, or Wikipedia articles. Provide at least 200 characters and focus on one topic at a time for the most relevant questions.
