Multiple question types that test what you actually know
Lexie generates a mix of multiple choice, fill-in-the-blank, matching pairs, and typed recall questions from your study material. Each question is designed to expose gaps in your knowledge before your exam does.
How quizzes work
One photo, multiple question types
Photograph your notes or textbook and Lexie generates a complete quiz from your content. The question mix adapts to the subject — science material gets more conceptual questions, language learning gets more matching and typed recall, history gets more contextual multiple choice.
Scaffolded hints on first attempt
Get a question wrong and Lexie doesn't just show you the answer. You get a targeted hint that guides you toward the right thinking without giving it away. This is the difference between being told an answer and understanding why it's the answer.
Detailed feedback on every option
Every multiple choice option has its own explanation — not just why the correct answer is right, but why each wrong answer is wrong and what misconception it represents. You don't just learn the answer, you learn the reasoning.
Missed questions come back
After completing a quiz, every question you got wrong is reshuffled and presented again. You can't move on until you've faced the material you struggled with. No skipping, no false sense of completion.
Question types
Multiple choice
Four options with plausible distractors generated from your actual study content. These aren't obvious throwaway answers — they test whether you can distinguish between concepts that are genuinely easy to confuse. Hints on first wrong attempt, per-option feedback after.
Fill-in-the-blank
Key terms and concepts are removed from sentences generated from your material. You have to produce the answer, not just recognise it. Accepts alternative phrasings and includes an optional word bank for subjects where exact terminology matters.
Matching pairs
Six-pair sets that test associations — definitions to terms, translations to words, concepts to examples. Primarily used in vocabulary and language learning, but also effective for linking causes to effects, dates to events, structures to functions.
Typed recall
You see a prompt and type the answer from memory. No options, no hints, no safety net. Used heavily in language learning — see a word, type the translation. Also has a listening mode where audio plays and you type what you hear.
Why active recall works
Roediger and Karpicke (2006) demonstrated that retrieving information from memory strengthens retention more effectively than re-reading the same material. This is the testing effect — every time you successfully recall something, the memory trace becomes stronger and more durable.
Most students study by re-reading their notes until the material feels familiar. Familiarity is not the same as knowledge. You can recognise an answer on a page and still fail to produce it in an exam room. Lexie's quizzes force the retrieval process that builds actual, usable knowledge.
The question mix matters because different question types engage different levels of recall. Multiple choice tests discrimination between similar concepts. Fill-in-the-blank tests terminology production. Typed recall tests pure retrieval. Matching tests associative memory. A single quiz session exercises all of these.
