How it works

From your notes to a quiz in three steps

Upload anything you study from and get a practice quiz built around what matters.

  1. 01

    Upload your material

    Add a PDF, your flashcards, lecture notes, or any uploaded content. Scholarly reads it for you.

  2. 02

    AI builds your quiz

    AI picks the best question types and writes questions that test real understanding, not rote recall.

  3. 03

    Practice and improve

    Answer, get instant explanations, and find and fix your weak spots before the exam.

Why students love it

Why students love Scholarly quizzes

Stop guessing what will be on the test. Let AI quiz you on what matters.

Grounded in your material

Every question is written from your own sources, so you practice exactly what your exam will cover.

AI feedback

Get detailed explanations when you answer wrong, and a read on the whole attempt when you finish: strengths, weak spots, and what to study next. AI explains the concept, not just the correct answer.

Track progress

See exactly which topics you've mastered and which need more work before the test.

What's included

Everything you need to prepare for exams

All the tools to practice, review, and master your material

Multiple Question Types

Multiple choice, fill-in-the-blank, true/false, and short response questions. AI picks the best format for each concept.

Generate from Anything

Create quizzes from PDFs, flashcards, notes, or any uploaded content with one click.

Argue With the Answer Key

Every answer comes with an AI explanation and, where one exists, the cited passage from your own source shown beside the question. Think the key is wrong? Challenge it once per attempt — the AI re-reads the source and either upholds the key, corrects it, or tells you the source doesn't settle it. If a correction makes your answer right, your score goes up.

Hear Feedback

Listen to AI explain your mistakes with natural voice. Learn while doing other things.

Question Navigation

Previous/next buttons with a question counter. Jump between questions and review at your own pace.

Share & Export

Share quizzes with classmates or export them. Study together with the same practice tests.

Feedback on the Whole Attempt

Finished a practice exam? Ask for AI feedback on the attempt as a whole: what you got right, where you went wrong, and what to study next — grounded in the same source the exam came from.

The science

Why quizzing yourself beats re-reading

Re-reading your notes feels productive, but it mostly builds familiarity, not recall. Retrieval practice — actively pulling an answer from memory — is one of the most reliable ways to make knowledge stick before an exam.

Scholarly turns your own material into that retrieval practice automatically. Instead of writing questions by hand, you upload what you already study from and get a quiz built around the concepts that actually matter for your test.

Every wrong answer comes with an explanation grounded in your source, so a quiz is never a dead end. You learn the concept on the spot and walk into the exam knowing exactly where you stand.

Powered by AI agents

Every tool here is a purpose-built AI agent

Scholarly doesn't just call a model once. Each feature is run by an autonomous AI agent that reads your material, reasons across multiple models, and can research the web and run code — then hands back a finished, cited artifact.

Multiple models

Agents route each step to the model that does it best, instead of relying on a single one.

Live web research

When your sources aren't enough, agents search the web and cite what they find.

Runs code in a sandbox

Each agent gets its own sandbox to compute, transform data, and build your artifact.

Grounded in your sources

Every output is built from the PDFs, notes, and lectures you upload — not guesswork.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What can I generate a quiz from?

Any material you upload — PDFs, lecture notes, flashcard decks, slides, or pasted text. Scholarly reads your source and writes questions grounded in it. For PDFs, you can even pick the exact page range to build the quiz from.

What types of questions does it create?

Multiple choice, fill-in-the-blank, true/false, and short response. AI picks the best format for each concept so you practice the way the exam will actually test you.

Does the quiz track my progress?

Yes. Scholarly tracks which topics you've mastered and which still need work, so you can focus your study time where it counts.

Do I get explanations for wrong answers?

Yes. Every answer comes with an AI explanation of the underlying concept — not just the correct option — and you can even have it read aloud.

Can I share quizzes with classmates?

Yes. You can share a quiz with a link or export it, so your study group can practice with the same questions.

Is it free to use?

You can start generating quizzes for free with no credit card. Upgrade any time for higher limits and unlimited practice across all your material.

What if I think the answer key is wrong?

Challenge it. Once per attempt you can contest an answer key and add a line on why you think you're right. The AI checks the claim against your original source and either upholds the key, corrects it, or says the source doesn't settle the question — and if the correction makes your answer right, your score is updated. Where a source passage exists, you can also read it next to the question before deciding.
