Quick Answers About Our AI Assessment Tool

Addressing common questions regarding input flexibility and output formats.

How does the AI generate questions from my uploaded files?

The AI uses advanced natural language processing (NLP) to analyze the document structure, identify critical concepts, terminology, and relationships, and then constructs multiple-choice questions that test for comprehension and application based solely on that extracted context.

What file types can I upload to create a custom quiz?

We support industry-standard formats including PDF documents, Microsoft Word (.docx), PowerPoint presentations (.ppt, .pptx), and various image file types containing text.

Can I export the generated quiz for offline use or LMS import?

Absolutely. Our tool supports multiple export formats to suit diverse needs: standard printable PDF, editable Word (.docx), QTI 2.1 format for broader compatibility, and Moodle XML for direct course integration.

Do I need an account to use the test generator?

Yes, you need a free account before CogniGuide creates a quiz. It takes one click with Google (or an email), and no credit card. The free plan then includes a weekly allowance of quizzes; paid plans raise the limits.
