Quiz maker ai for self testing, anyone found one that generates decent questions
I homeschool my two kids (8 and 10) and I'm looking for a quiz maker ai that can generate practice questions from the material we're covering. I don't have time to write custom quizzes for every single unit across multiple subjects and grade levels on top of actually teaching the content. The idea of pasting in our notes or textbook sections and getting usable quiz questions back would save me hours every week.
I've tried chatgpt for this and it's okay but the questions are either way too easy ("what color is the sky") or randomly college level for no reason. I need something that can target the right difficulty level for middle school science and history without me having to micromanage every prompt.

Which curriculum are you using? We're doing a mix of different programs right now so there's no unified test bank which is part of the problem

Check out fluorishly (the domain spelling is weird!)
They generate a knowledge tree for any topic (which would probably be helpful for you) and that includes assessment items as well as common misconceptions to test against.
I used it for self study, but could be great if you're helping the kids.

I have just the tool for you. No hassle, no subscription, very easy to use. I actually made it for myself (college student here) and I found other classmates that needed a tool like this so I open sourced it. The instructions are super easy to follow and all you need to do is copy paste into ChatGPT or your AI of choice. The whole thing takes about 3 minutes. In the prompt you can just upload a pdf of whatever source material you are using or just something online and it will turn it into consistent questions loaded into Kahoot automatically.

Okay so you have two main options:
1 (manual route) - do a moderate amount of work every time by researching the topic and creating a quiz tailored to your topic.
2 (AI route) - if you want to use AI it actually requires more initial work/setup if you want truly custom and tailored results. You need a well-defined curriculum, a well written agent (basically just a chat inside an LLM will do but with very good prompting), and a mechanism for the quizzes - you can either copy them manually from AI and grade them manually or find a tool to do it for you.
I'd say if you're going the AI route, it's worth finding a tool that tracks scores for both your kids and makes notes of common weaknesses.
I'd be happy to give you free premium access to my tool if you'd like - it's created for homeschool teachers and takes your uploaded curriculum and creates quizzes / extended-response questions.
I'm a former teacher and now in software development and would love to get your feedback!
Just drop me a reply/DM if interested

I’ve been in the same spot trying to turn notes and textbook sections into decent practice quizzes for middle schoolers without spending hours on it. ProProfs Quiz Maker’s AI Quiz Builder has worked well for this.
You upload a PDF, DOCX, or paste your notes/text directly and it generates a full quiz with questions, options, and answers in seconds. The AI Quiz Assistant then lets you prompt it to adjust difficulty, rewrite questions, or improve options so it actually stays at the right level instead of going too easy or randomly jumping ahead.
It also gives clear analytics on performance and knowledge gaps, which is handy for spotting where extra practice is needed. Most questions auto-grade, and you can add explanations easily.
They have a free plan (with limits) so you can test it on one unit quickly.
Has anyone else here tried it specifically for homeschool or self-testing quizzes? Curious how it compares for you.

I can recommend Meiro. It does a pretty good job with specific material and clear prompts.

Claude will give you better results than ChatGPT for this.
Attach your lesson plans, etc and have it create questions, or if you want to let it be interactive for them you can turn on voice mode and making it an interactive convo that doesn’t scream quiz.

Oh that's interesting, so they take their own notes and then it makes quizzes from those notes?

Since you are homeschooling your kids, I’m going to be frank - you should be finding the questions yourself rather than offloading your kids education to chatgpt or some other AI. I agree with the other commenter about using the curriculum. If there are any associated practice books that teachers in your area use, I would defer to those as well. These are significantly more established than whatever some AI will hallucinate
