Why a PDF to quiz converter beats rereading
Rereading a chapter feels productive and leaves little behind. Answering questions on it forces you to pull the idea out of memory, and that is what makes it stick. The problem is that writing your own questions from a 40-page PDF takes longer than reading it twice.
StudyPDF reads the PDF for you and drafts the questions. Every question cites the page it came from, so if an answer surprises you, the source is one click away. Figures and tables in the PDF are extracted too, so a question can say "using the chart below" and actually show your chart.
For students: quiz yourself, then quiz your gaps
Take the first quiz on the whole PDF to see where you stand. The results show which concepts you missed, not just a score. Then ask for a second quiz built only from those concepts. Two or three rounds like that cover a chapter faster than any amount of highlighting.
The same upload also gives you flashcards, a study guide and a timed practice exam, and Bo can explain any question you got wrong using only the PDF.
For teachers: a class quiz from your handout
Upload the handout or slides you taught, draft a quiz, and open it. Edit any question by hand or ask for a better version; every AI suggestion is applied only when you confirm. Then share the course with your class by one link. Students open it free in any browser, and those who join save their progress.
Teachers use the same plans as everyone else, and sharing comes with all of them. See the quiz maker for teachers and StudyPDF for teachers for the full flow.

Questions and answers
Can I make a quiz from a scanned PDF?
Yes. Pages are rendered and read by a vision model, so scanned PDFs, handwritten notes and photographed pages work. If a PDF is broken or has no text layer, it still gets read.
What question types does the PDF to quiz tool create?
Multiple choice, multi-select, true or false, short answer self-graded against a model answer, matching and fill-in-the-blank. Every question includes an explanation and a citation to the page.
Can I make a multiple choice quiz from a PDF?
Yes. Upload the PDF, pick multiple choice as the question type, and choose how many questions you want. Each question comes with an explanation of the right answer and the page of the PDF it came from. You can also mix in true or false, matching and short answer.
4 more questions
Does it make up questions that are not in the PDF?
No. Questions are grounded in passages from the file you uploaded and each one cites its page, so you can check the source. If something is not in the material, StudyPDF says so instead of guessing.
Can teachers share the quiz with a class?
Yes. Edit the draft, confirm the changes you want, and share the course by one link. Students open it free in any browser, and those who join with a free account save their progress. You see who joined and when they last opened it.
Can I print the quiz?
Yes. Export to PDF as a blank worksheet with the answer key on its own page, or with the solutions inline. Word export is available on Pro and up.
Is it free?
It is free to start, no credit card, and Free gives you about 4 materials a week. Sharing a course with your class comes with every plan, Free included.
