Ask Gemini to convert notes into a mixed-format quiz with an answer key and short explanations, targeting the concepts you are weakest on rather than the easy ones.
The prompt
Turn these notes into a [N]-question quiz for [LEVEL]. Mix formats (recall, application, one tricky edge case). Prioritise the concepts most likely to be misunderstood. Provide an answer key with a one-line explanation each. Notes: [NOTES].
Replace the variables
[N]Number of questions.
[NOTES]Your source notes.
Which model to use
- Gemini 3.6 Flash — Quiz generation is quick and structured — a good Flash task.
Example input
- [N] = 8. [LEVEL] = "high-school biology".
Example output
We only publish example outputs from real model runs. This template has not been formally tested yet, so no output is shown. Run it yourself with the input above.
Why this structure works
- Mixed formats test recall and application, not just memory.
- Explanations turn a wrong answer into a lesson.
Common failures & fixes
Questions are too easy.
Fix: Ask for "questions a B student would get wrong".
Known limitations
- Check the answer key; models occasionally mark the wrong option.
