MCQ Generator
Multiple choice question generator with smart distractors
AI-powered MCQ generator that creates multiple choice questions with plausible distractors from any text. Perfect for teachers and students.
Why use an MCQ generator
Creating good multiple choice questions is harder than it looks. You need a clear question, one unambiguous correct answer, and three distractors that are believable but wrong. The distractors make or break an MCQ—if they're too obvious, the question tests nothing; if they're too similar, it becomes a guessing game.
Examina's MCQ generator automates the hard part. Upload your study material or lesson content, and the AI generates multiple choice questions with distractors based on common misconceptions. Each question includes why the correct answer is right and what makes the distractors wrong, so students learn even when they miss one.
Plausible distractors
Wrong answers are based on common misconceptions and related concepts, making questions effective for assessing real understanding instead of recognition.
Difficulty levels
Questions are tagged as easy, medium, or hard, and balanced across Bloom's taxonomy levels from simple recall to analysis and application.
Detailed explanations
Each MCQ includes why the correct answer is right and what makes each distractor incorrect, turning missed questions into learning moments.
