A quiz tells you what you actually retained, which is different from what you highlighted. You can write a quiz yourself on every plan, Free and Sync included. Having the AI write one from the note is part of the Pro and Lifetime plans, like AI flashcards, mind maps and slide decks, on Lifetime through your own API key. You can edit any quiz, the AI's included.
Creating a quiz
Open the note. On desktop, type / and choose Quiz. On mobile, open the apps group on the toolbar and choose Quiz. Before generating, pick a difficulty level of easy, normal or difficult, or switch on adaptive mode. The questions come from the note and from what the PDFs in it say. Create by hand, under Generate quiz, opens an empty quiz to write instead.
You can close the dialog or the sheet while the questions are written. The card says Working on quiz until the quiz is ready, and Grape tells you when it is, see Get notified when the AI is done. On desktop, Cancel in the dialog stops it.
Writing a quiz by hand
On Free and Sync, the dialog or the sheet the card opens leads with Create by hand, with a small Let AI make it from your note link under it that says what the Pro plan adds. On Pro and Lifetime, Create by hand sits under Generate quiz.
Each question has a line for the question and four slots for its answers. Write the answers and mark the right one with the circle next to it. An answer left blank is skipped, so a question can have two, three or four answers, but it needs at least two, and the right one cannot be blank. Choose Add question for the next one, and Save when you are done, the tick at the top of the sheet on mobile.
Editing a quiz
Open the quiz from the card in the note and choose Edit, the pencil at the top of the dialog on desktop or of the sheet on mobile. The questions open in the same form, whether you wrote them or the AI did: reword a question, fix an answer, mark a different one as right or add questions of your own. Editing works on every plan, and an adaptive quiz the AI wrote stays adaptive after you edit it.
Adaptive mode
A normal quiz is ten multiple choice questions at the level you picked. Adaptive mode builds a larger bank of thirty across all difficulties and adjusts to how you answer: get questions right and they get harder, struggle and it eases off. It takes longer to generate and uses more tokens, which the toggle tells you upfront.
Taking it
Up to four options per question, with skip if you want to come back. Results show your accuracy with correct, wrong and skipped counts, and you can restart or shuffle for another pass.
Using it well
The honest move is taking the quiz before rereading the note, because the wrong answers tell you exactly which sections to reread. The day before an exam, one adaptive quiz per topic note is a fast map of where you stand. Writing the questions yourself is revision too: a question you cannot write is a section you do not know yet.
The other study tools
The same note can become flashcards to drill or a mind map to see its shape, and a slide deck when you have to present it. All three can be made by hand too. For a quiz in a shape of your own, like one against the clock, describe it as a mini app.
