From Your Own Material
AllyHub reads the document you upload and writes questions against what it says, so the students who studied your chapter are the ones who can answer them.
Writing six good questions takes longer than the lesson did, and they all come back as recall. AllyHub lets you set the mix.
Setting a paper is four decisions — what it asks about, in what form, how hard, and how much of the material it reaches — and generators normally make all four for you. Below in that order, plus what you leave with and what happens across a whole course.
AllyHub reads the document you upload and writes questions against what it says, so the students who studied your chapter are the ones who can answer them.
Ask for one format or a mix in whatever proportion the assessment needs — a paper can be mostly short answer with a few checks at the front, rather than forty of the same shape.
Say how much should be straight recall, how much application, how much analysis, and the paper comes back weighted that way rather than defaulting to easy.
Ask for even coverage and questions get drawn from the whole document, instead of clustering wherever the first few pages happened to be clearest.
The question paper arrives as one file and the answer key as another, so one can be printed and handed out while the other stays on your side of the desk.
Point it at the whole folder and every document feeds one question bank, tagged by which file it came from, so a module's worth of material becomes a reusable set.
From a chapter you already teach to a quiz paper and answer key, in three steps.
Hand over the chapter, the deck, or the notes. Say how many questions you want and who will be sitting the quiz.
It reads the document, drafts questions in the types and difficulty mix you asked for, spreads them across the sections, and writes the key alongside.
Read the questions before anyone sits them — that judgement is yours. Save the run as a Playbook so next week's chapter is one step behind this one.
A quiz generated from a topic name tests general knowledge. Yours should test your chapter.
Type a topic into most generators and you get questions any reasonably informed person could answer, which quietly punishes the students who actually did the reading. Questions drawn from the document you handed over reward exactly the thing you asked them to do.

Generated quizzes drift towards the beginning of whatever they read, because that is where the clearest definitions sit. The result is a paper that tests the introduction and ignores the part students found hard. Coverage is something you have to ask for, so here you can.

Most quiz tools keep the quiz inside themselves, which is fine until you need to print it, run it on paper, or drop the questions into a bank you already keep. Here files come out as files — one to hand out, one to mark from.

House style is the part that takes longest to explain: how you word a stem, how many distractors, what you never ask. By the second half of term it is already applied — your AllyHub never starts from scratch again, so the drafting gets faster every time.

Teachers setting a weekly check, trainers who have to show coverage, students testing themselves, and teams building a shared bank.
The weekly low-stakes check is the thing everyone agrees works and nobody has time to set. A paper drawn from the chapter you just taught, with the key already separated out, turns it from a dropped intention into a five-minute job.
You have to be able to show that the assessment covered the policy, and "we ran a quiz" is not an answer when somebody asks which parts of it were tested. Even coverage across the whole document means you can say which sections were tested rather than hoping they were.
You cannot set yourself a fair test, because you will unconsciously ask about the parts you already remember well. Feeding in your own notes and getting questions back from the sections you skimmed is the only version of self-testing that finds anything.
Ten instructors writing questions for one module produces ten house styles and nothing anybody can reuse. A single run across the shared material gives you a bank in one voice, which is the difference between a resource and a pile.

What people ask before setting a paper they did not write themselves.
It turns material you supply into assessment questions. The category is easy to produce and hard to produce well — anything can emit ten questions, but the ones worth using come from the specific text, spread across it, and sit at a difficulty you chose rather than the one that was convenient.
Yes. Working one chapter at a time runs on the free plan. Whole folders turned into a question bank, scheduled paper-setting each week, and multi-course work are covered by the paid plans.
PDF, Word, PowerPoint, and plain text go in as they are. The material you already teach from is usually the right input — a chapter, a deck, a set of notes — because that is what your students actually saw.
Multiple choice, true or false, short answer, and fill in the blank. You can run one type throughout or set a proportion, which matters more than it sounds — the format decides what a question is capable of testing, not just how long it takes to mark.
Yes. Name the language the class is taught in and both the paper and the key come back in it. Worth setting deliberately when the source material is in one language and the assessment is sat in another.
Most quiz tools are built to host the quiz; this one is built to hand it to you. You get two files rather than a link, you set the difficulty and the coverage rather than accepting the defaults, and the house style you established in September is still applied in February.
