What you get from one PDF
Each upload becomes a study pack. The quiz is the heart of it:
- Up to 10 questions per pack on the free plan, and up to 30 on Pro and Extreme.
- Multiple-choice questions with four options, plus short-answer questions you type yourself.
- Instant marking with a short explanation after every answer.
- A score at the end, a button to retry only the questions you missed, and your weak topics ranked by how often you got them wrong.
- Flashcards and study notes from the same upload, if you want them.
Why practise with questions instead of re-reading
Re-reading feels productive because the material looks familiar, but recognising something isn't the same as being able to recall it in an exam. Answering questions forces you to pull the answer out of memory, and that effort is what makes it stick. Psychologists call this the testing effect, or retrieval practice; a well-known study by Roediger and Karpicke (2006) found that students who tested themselves remembered more a week later than students who spent the same time re-reading.
A quiz made from your own slides means you practise exactly what your course covers, in the words your lecturer used, rather than a generic question bank.
Questions that stay inside your material
EduCorrect only uses the text of the file you upload. It first picks out the 5 to 15 main topics, then writes questions that each belong to one of them, which is what makes the weak-topic ranking useful. If your PDF is short, you get fewer questions rather than invented ones. AI can still make mistakes, so if an answer looks wrong, check it against your notes.
Tips for a better quiz
- Use a PDF with selectable text. Scanned pages (photos of paper) aren't supported yet: if you can highlight and copy the words in your PDF viewer, it will work.
- One lecture or chapter per pack gives more focused questions than a whole semester at once.
- Very long files are trimmed to roughly the first 45,000 words, and you're told when that happens.
- PowerPoint (.pptx), Word (.docx) and plain text files work too, up to 20 MB (50 MB on Extreme), or you can paste text straight in.
Practice, not a shortcut
EduCorrect is a learning aid. It turns material you already have into practice and never writes essays or answers assignment questions for you.
