How long does it take you to write twenty multiple choice questions with plausible wrong answers? Is it the questions that slow you down, or the distractors? The MCQ Generator on EizTools turns a topic or a passage of text into ready to use multiple choice questions with options and answers.
Short answer: The MCQ Generator turns a topic or a passage into multiple choice items. Set how many you want and the level of demand, and each question arrives with options, a marked key and distractors built on real mistakes.
What is MCQ Generator?
It is a question writing workspace built for one format. You paste a topic, a chapter or a set of notes. The MCQ Generator returns questions with answer choices, the correct option marked, and where you ask for it, an explanation under each answer. It saves the part of test writing that is slow rather than difficult.
What Each Question Comes With
A clear stem
The question written so it can be answered without reading all four options first.
Answer options
Wrong answers that are wrong for a reason, not obviously filler text.
The correct answer
Marked in the output, so you are not solving your own paper afterwards.
Explanations
Switch on Include Examples and each answer comes with the reasoning behind it.
Choosing Format, Level And Volume
| Option | What it changes | Where to start |
|---|---|---|
| Output Type | How questions are laid out | Structured, so options stay numbered |
| Length | How many questions you get | Long for a question bank |
| Focus / Audience | The level questions are pitched at | Exam Candidates, or Beginners for early revision |
| Tone / Style | Wording of the stems | Formal for anything assessed |
Age-Appropriate Language matters for younger classes, since vocabulary in a stem can make an easy question hard. The Detail Level slider controls how much explanation sits under each answer.
How Does MCQ Generator Work?
Paste your topic or source text into the prompt box and say how many questions you want. Pick a model from the selector, set the dropdowns and toggles, then generate.
The questions appear in the output card, counted and timed for you. Download as TXT to import into a quiz platform, or as Word to print. The activity history panel keeps earlier sets, so you can build an easy set and a harder set from the same chapter without starting again.
Telling A Good Question From A Bad One
Important Check every answer key before use. The most common failure is a question with two defensible answers, which is unfair to students and hard to argue about after the paper has been sat.
- ✅ Only one option is truly correct
- ✅ Distractors reflect real misunderstandings
- ✅ No option is much longer than the others
- ✅ Nothing in the stem gives the answer away
Getting Better Questions Out
The prompt does most of the work. Paste the actual source material rather than a topic name, and the questions stay on what you taught. For long chapters, condense them first with the Text Summarizer so the questions cover the whole section instead of clustering on the opening pages.
Say what the questions are for. "End of unit test, thirty minutes, no calculators" produces a different set than a topic on its own, because it tells the tool what a fair question looks like here.
Every tool on EizTools is free, needs no account and has no cap on use. What differs between them is the controls, which are written for each job. The model selector earns its place when writing items: a set that comes back too easy can be regenerated on a different AI family in seconds. Everything else is browsable from tool categories.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the MCQ Generator free?
Yes. Free, with no cap. Paste your material, set the options and generate. Generate more items than you need and keep the strongest half. That is cheaper here than editing weak questions.
How many options does each question have?
Four by default. Ask for three or five in the prompt or in Custom Instructions if your paper format needs a different number.
Can it write questions from my own notes?
Yes, and that is the best way to use it. Paste the notes directly, and the questions stay inside what your students were actually taught.
Are the answer keys always right?
No. They are usually right and occasionally wrong, which is why every key needs checking before a set reaches students.
Can I get harder questions?
Set the audience to Exam Candidates and raise the Detail Level slider, then say in the prompt that you want applied questions rather than recall.
Writing good multiple choice questions is a craft, and the slow part is inventing wrong answers that are tempting without being unfair.
Generate the first draft in the MCQ Generator above, then spend your time on the keys and the distractors, which is where your judgement actually counts.
