Every question comes from your PDF. Nothing invented.
Attach the lesson, the chapter or your notes, say what you need, and the test is written from that material alone. A question the material cannot answer is dropped, not made up.

What comes out of the printer
This is the test. Not a preview of it.
A grade 7 photosynthesis test written from a one page lesson PDF. Left, the sheet the class gets. Right, the key, with every answer traceable to a line of the lesson.
- A real A4 or Letter page with name, class, date and score fields at the top.
- The answer key is the same document with the answers filled in red and the points totalled. It cannot disagree with the test.
- Pages fill on their own. A table is never cut in half.
- What you see on screen is what the printer gives you, page for page.

What you bring, what you get
You bring
- A PDF of the lesson, the chapter or the slides
- A text file or a paste of your own notes
- The grade, how many questions and which types
- A photo of an old test is different: it is rebuilt as it is, not rewritten
The material is the only source. That is what makes the test fair: a wrong answer always points at something the student was given to read.
You get
A printable test
Real pages, numbered questions, writing space that matches the question. Points shown when you want them.
The answer key, for free
Derived from the answers inside the questions, so it is never out of date and never a second document to maintain.
PDF and Word
Student copy, answer key, or both in one file. Word keeps the layout, with tracing lines and arithmetic grids simplified.
An assistant that edits
Ask for a harder question 4, a word bank on question 6 or a section title. Every change is one undo step.
A drawn copy for younger classes
Press Draw it for the children and the same questions come back as a hand drawn page, in a style you pick.
Eleven question types, one page.
Pick a card and the question is added after the one you selected, with its form open. Section titles and instruction blocks sit between them. Rows can hold two or three questions side by side, the way worksheets for young children are laid out.

The assistant sits beside the page. Ask it to add three questions on the treaty, turn question 2 into true or false, or make the whole test easier for grade 6. It edits the questions in place, leaves a receipt under its reply saying what it touched, and one reply is one undo step. When your request is too thin it asks first, with a proposal you accept in one click, rather than guessing a grade or a length.

The same test, drawn for the children who read slowly.
One button turns the page you are looking at into a hand drawn sheet in a style you choose: the questions in place, the blanks left blank. Each page costs one drawing from your monthly visuals. Read it before you hand it out: a drawing can occasionally add or mark an answer, so the exact copy is always the PDF.
FAQ
How do I generate a test from a PDF?
Open a new test, press the paperclip in the assistant, pick the PDF, and write what you need: the grade, the number of questions, the types. The assistant reads the file and drafts the questions onto a real page. Every question must be answerable from the PDF alone; one it cannot support is dropped rather than invented.
What can I attach besides a PDF?
A text file or a paste of your notes works the same way. A photo or scan of a paper test is a different door: it is rebuilt verbatim as editable questions rather than used as material for new ones.
Will the questions stay inside the material?
Yes. The material is the only source the assistant may use for a test written from it, and a question the material does not support is dropped rather than invented. Read the draft before you print it, as you would any test.
How long can the PDF be?
One free PDF upload is included on the free plan, and Plus uploads more. A chapter or a lesson is the sweet spot. Very long files are read up to a cap, so a whole textbook is better attached one chapter at a time.
Is it free?
Building is free: 3 tests kept, 10 assistant replies a day, one PDF upload, and the whole test with its key visible on screen. The download is paid: Plus at $13.99 a month downloads without limit, or unlock one test forever for $4.99, PDF and Word, both copies, through every later edit.
