The AI quiz generator that writes questions from your own notes
Skolight's AI quiz generator reads your own study material - lecture slides, PDFs, notes, or a recorded class - and writes questions that test what is actually in it. Every answer comes with an explanation, so a wrong answer still teaches you something.

How it works
- 1
Add your material
Upload a PDF or slide deck, paste a YouTube or web link, import audio, or record a lecture live. It lands in your library, organized by subject.
- 2
Pick the quiz you want
Choose how many questions (up to 30), the difficulty, the question types, and an optional time limit. Or just ask Skolar, the AI tutor, to quiz you.
- 3
Answer and learn
Get your score straight away, with a short explanation for every question. Then generate flashcards or a full mock exam from the same material.
What you get
Four question types
Multiple choice, select-all-that-apply, true/false, and fill-in-the-blank. Mix them in one quiz to test recognition and recall.
Grounded in your sources
Questions come from the material you chose, not from the open internet, so you practice exactly what your course covers.
Difficulty you control
Start easy to check the basics, then switch to hard when you want questions that make you apply ideas, not just recognize them.
Explanations on every answer
Each question carries a short explanation of why the right answer is right, so checking your score doubles as revision.
Works with almost any source
PDFs, Word documents, slide decks (PPT, PPTX), text and Markdown files, your own notes, captioned YouTube videos, web pages, audio files, and live lecture recordings.
Quiz mode in the AI tutor
Mid-conversation with Skolar, ask for a quick quiz on what you just covered and it builds one from your library.
Why quizzing yourself beats re-reading
Re-reading feels productive because the material looks familiar, but familiarity is not the same as being able to recall it in an exam. Retrieval practice - pulling an answer out of memory - is one of the most consistently supported study techniques in learning research. In a well-known 2006 study by Roediger and Karpicke, students who tested themselves remembered far more a week later than students who spent the same time re-reading.
The catch is that writing good practice questions takes time most students don't have. An AI quiz generator removes that step: you bring the material, it writes the questions, and you spend your time on the part that actually builds memory - answering them.
For the best results, quiz yourself shortly after a lecture, again a few days later, and once more before the exam. Spacing your practice out like this helps the material stick far longer than one long session the night before.
