How to Build a Practice Test from Your Own Notes

Start from a note, not a syllabus

The Exam Room builds questions from the note you open it in - a summarized lecture, a scanned chapter, a transcript - so the test covers what you were taught rather than a generic topic list. Pick the note that matches the exam's scope.

Generate the test

From the note's tools choose Exam Room, then Quiz. You get multiple-choice and true/false questions drawn from the note's definitions, facts and arguments, with the answer keyed to the source line.

• Multiple choice with plausible wrong answers
• True/false for the claims that are easy to misremember
• Graded the moment you finish

Use the score, not the feeling

The score is tracked across attempts. Below 70% on a note, go back to the summary and the flashcards for that topic; above 90% twice, move on. The point of the test is to decide where the next hour goes.

Rebuild it closer to the exam

Generate the test again a week later - the questions are drawn fresh, so a second run is not a memory of the first. Do it on the phone on the way in.
