Import Questions from a File or Exam PDF

Upload a test, worksheet, or exam PDF and turn existing questions into a QuizRise quiz.

Use this guide when you already have questions in a file and want to move them into QuizRise as a digital quiz.

In the QuizRise app, this option is called Extract from File.

When to use Extract from File

Use Extract from File for files such as:

  • An exam PDF.
  • A worksheet with questions.
  • A quiz or test document.
  • A file that includes questions and an answer key.

This is different from From File:

  • From File creates new questions from study material.
  • Extract from File imports questions that already exist in the file.

Steps

  1. Open QuizRise.

  2. Choose Extract from File.

  3. Click Select File and choose the file that contains your questions.

  4. If QuizRise shows page selection, choose the pages or page range that contain the questions, then click Continue.

QuizRise uploads the file, extracts the text, creates a quiz, and starts importing the questions and answers it can identify.

After import

Open the quiz and review the imported questions before sharing it. Check that:

  • Each question is complete.
  • The correct answer is selected.
  • Multiple-choice options are in the right place.
  • Any answer explanations or extra text look correct.

Best practices

  • Use files with clear question and answer formatting.
  • Select only the pages that include the quiz or answer key when possible.
  • Keep the answer key close to the questions when the file includes one.
  • Avoid uploading pages that only contain instructions, covers, or unrelated lesson material.
  • Use From File instead if the file is lesson material and you want QuizRise to write new questions.

Extraction can skip unclear or low-confidence questions, so always review and edit the quiz before students answer it.
