Turn a PDF into a practice quiz
Drop in a PDF — a textbook chapter, a lecture handout, a set of exported slides, a compliance manual — and Ace the Test reads it and writes practice questions from what is actually in the document. Multiple choice and true/false, each one with an explanation, usually in under 30 seconds.
No credit card. Free plan available forever.
How it works
Upload the PDF
Up to 100 MB per file. Text-based PDFs and scanned pages both work — the model reads the page image when there is no text layer.
Pick how many questions and how hard
Anywhere from 5 to 50 questions, at beginner, intermediate, advanced or mixed difficulty. No question templates to fill in.
Take the quiz and keep the set
Answer with an explanation shown after each question. The set is saved so you can retake it, and your accuracy per attempt is tracked.
Why generate questions instead of re-reading
Re-reading a PDF feels productive and mostly is not. Recognising a paragraph you have seen four times is not the same as being able to produce the fact under exam conditions, and the gap between the two is exactly where marks are lost.
Being asked a question forces retrieval, and retrieval is what moves material into durable memory. The practical problem has always been that writing good questions about your own material takes longer than studying it. That is the part worth automating.
Ace the Test does not summarise your PDF and it does not answer your homework. It asks you about the PDF, tells you which answers were wrong and why, and keeps score so the topics you keep missing are visible rather than guessed at.
What you get
- Multiple-choice (4 options) and true/false questions
- An explanation attached to every question, not just the correct letter
- Roughly 30% of questions written to catch shallow recall — near-synonyms, conditionals, partial truths, negation
- Questions generated in the language of the PDF you uploaded
- Scoring, timing and per-session accuracy history
- Free plan: 5 materials, 5 quiz sets, 10 questions per quiz, no credit card

PDF to quiz — questions people ask
Does it work with scanned PDFs and photographed pages?
Yes. The file is read by a vision-capable model, so a scan or a phone photo of a printed page is handled the same way as a PDF with a text layer. Legibility is the limit: if you cannot read the page at a glance, neither can the model.
How large a PDF can I upload?
Up to 100 MB per file, and up to 4 GB stored per account. Very long documents produce better questions when split by chapter, because the question set then covers one topic densely instead of the whole book thinly.
How many questions can it make from one PDF?
5 to 50 per quiz set. The free plan caps a set at 10 questions; Premium raises it to 50. You can generate several sets from the same PDF to cover it in depth.
Is it free?
There is a free plan with 5 materials, 5 quiz sets and 10 questions per quiz, and it does not ask for a card. Premium removes the material and set limits and raises the per-quiz cap to 50.
Do the questions come out in my language?
The questions follow the language of the document you upload. The interface itself is available in eight languages.
