Turn MCQs in a PDF into a live quiz
Stop retyping question papers. Paste the MCQs straight out of your PDF — LectureQuiz detects the options and the answer key, builds the quiz, and your class joins with a QR code.

Frequently asked questions
Can I turn a PDF of MCQs into a live quiz?
Yes. Copy the questions out of your PDF, open Paste MCQs in LectureQuiz, and paste them in. The parser detects question numbers, options A–D, and answer keys such as "Answer: C", then fills the quiz form for you. Review the preview and import.
What paste formats are supported?
Numbered questions (1., 1), Q1.), options written as A), a., (A), A: or A-, answer lines like Answer:, Ans:, or Correct:, plus optional Explanation lines. True/False questions and short-answer questions with no options also work.
What if my PDF has lecture notes instead of ready-made questions?
Paste the notes or a topic into the AI generator and LectureQuiz writes exam-style MCQ, True/False, or short-answer questions you can edit before adding them to the session or your question bank.
How do students take the quiz?
Each session gets a short code and a QR code. Students scan it, pick their name from the class list, and answer from any browser — no app and no student account.
Do I have to upload the PDF file itself?
No. LectureQuiz works from pasted text, so nothing is uploaded. Select the questions in your PDF reader, copy, and paste.
