Create a multiple-choice quiz from a course PDF and understand your mistakes

Choose the course and the scope of the quiz

Start with one chapter or one goal: applying a formula, telling two notions apart, recognizing a condition. Mixing all your PDFs from the first session makes mistakes harder to interpret. Note what the test actually asks for: a multiple-choice quiz, an essay or problems to solve.

In Fichea, you can prepare a quiz from your course notes or your sheets. Select the relevant materials and the level offered in the interface. A sheet is not required to start from a course. Access and the number of generations depend on your plan.

Check that the question makes you work on a notion

A question that is too obvious can be answered without understanding the chapter. An exercise that slightly changes the values or asks you to tell two lines of reasoning apart gives you more information about what you can do. The choices should stay understandable, with no needless trick in the wording.

Try to justify your choice before showing the correction. If you eliminate answers at random, note it: a right answer obtained that way still deserves a check.

Classify the mistake before redoing the quiz

Reread the correction and the passage of the course that was used. If the generated answer seems contradictory, check the source before memorizing it: a quiz produced by AI can contain an error. A citation helps you check, it does not replace checking.

In Fichea, the chat action after a wrong answer lets you go back to the question with its context. Ask for a precise explanation, for example: “Why doesn’t the decrease apply to the starting €100?” Then put the reasoning into your own words.

• Forgotten notion: prepare a short question to review.
• Reasoning not understood: ask for an example and redo the steps.
• Wrong calculation: redo the calculation without looking at the choices.
• Question misread: spot the condition or unit you ignored.

Then check that you can answer without the choices

Redoing the same questions right away can make you remember their position or wording. In another session, change the values, explain why a choice is wrong or solve an open exercise. On the previous example, find the result of a 10% increase followed by a 10% decrease.

A multiple-choice quiz complements the exercises your teacher gives you. For an exam that assesses a proof, an essay or a practical skill, practice in that format too. Fichea quizzes are generated from your materials; they are not the future questions of your exam.
