Turn lecture slides into a quiz
Slide decks are dense with exactly the claims an exam tests — definitions, sequences, criteria, comparisons. Export the deck to PDF, upload it, and Ace the Test writes practice questions from the slides.
No credit card. Free plan available forever.
How it works
Export the deck to PDF
PowerPoint, Keynote and Google Slides all export to PDF in one step (File → Export / Download → PDF). Ace the Test reads PDFs and images, not .pptx directly.
Upload and generate
Pick 5 to 50 questions and a difficulty. Slide text, table content and labelled figures all feed into the questions.
Use it as a comprehension check
Take it yourself before the exam, or generate it after a session to check what the room retained.
Why slides are unusually good source material
A slide is already a compression of the lecture: the presenter decided what mattered enough to put on screen. That makes decks an efficient source — high density of testable claims, little filler.
The weakness is the mirror image. Slides that are purely visual, or that carry the argument in the speaker's narration rather than in the text, give the model little to work with. Decks with speaker notes exported alongside the slides produce noticeably better sets.
For teaching use, generating a set straight after a session and running it as a five-minute check tells you which slides landed. That is a faster feedback loop than waiting for the assessment, and it costs about two minutes to build.
Good for
- Students revising from lecturer-provided decks
- Lecturers building comprehension checks from today's slides
- Corporate trainers turning a deck into a sign-off quiz
- Conference and seminar material converted into self-test sets
- Decks exported with speaker notes, which produce richer questions

Slides to quiz — questions people ask
Can I upload a .pptx file directly?
Not currently. Accepted formats are PDF, PNG, JPG/JPEG, WebP, plain text, Markdown and CSV. Exporting the deck to PDF takes one step and preserves the layout, so that is the supported route.
Should I include the speaker notes?
If you can, yes. Exporting with notes gives the model the reasoning behind each slide, and the questions come out less superficial as a result.
How many slides should go into one set?
One lecture's worth is the sweet spot. A 200-slide module split into four sets covers the material far better than a single set stretched across all of it.
Can I share the quiz with a class?
Quiz sets currently live in the account that created them. Each student can generate a set from the same deck on their own free account.
