Quiz
Jalaran Quiz generates multiple-choice and short-answer questions from your own material and grades your answers immediately, including the written ones.
Who Quiz is for
For anyone about to sit an exam who wants to know now whether they understand something, rather than in three weeks when spaced repetition gets round to it. Rereading notes feels like studying and mostly is not; being asked is the test.
What Quiz does
Quiz generates questions from Vault notes, Draft documents or pasted text and grades them straight away — multiple choice mechanically, short answers by model, which matters because writing an answer from nothing is a far stronger test than recognising one among four. Where Flash schedules recall over weeks, Quiz tests you right now, and score history per topic shows where you are genuinely weak rather than where you feel uncertain.

How Quiz works
Choose the material
A Vault note, a section of a Draft document, or text you paste in for a single sitting.
Generate the quiz
Multiple-choice and short-answer questions produced from that material.
Answer without looking
Short answers especially — producing an answer from nothing is what actually tests understanding.
Read the grading and the history
Immediate scoring, with per-topic history showing where you are genuinely weak rather than where you feel unsure.
What Quiz does not do
Short-answer grading is a language-model judgement and can be wrong in both directions — it will occasionally mark a correct answer down for unusual phrasing, so treat a surprising score as worth arguing with. Questions can only test what the source material contains, and thin notes produce shallow questions. Quiz tests now and does not schedule; long-term retention is Flash.
Common questions
How reliable is the short-answer grading?
Good but not infallible. It can mark a correct answer down for unusual phrasing or accept something vaguer than it should. If a score surprises you, read the reasoning — you may well be right.
How is this different from Flash?
Quiz tests you now; Flash schedules recall over weeks. Quiz tells you whether you understand something today, which is what you want the night before an exam.
Can it generate questions on anything?
Only on material you supply. Questions can test what the source contains and no more, so thin notes produce shallow questions.
