ChatGPT and CanQuiz
Make multiple choice quizzes with ChatGPT and take them like a real exam
Add the CanQuiz plugin to ChatGPT and ask it for a quiz on your topic or your notes. It's saved to your CanQuiz account, ready to take like an exam and to review.
You need a CanQuiz account. Quizzes made by ChatGPT don't use the AI included in your CanQuiz account.
How to make a quiz with ChatGPT, step by step
Add the plugin
Open the link above or search for “CanQuiz” among ChatGPT's plugins and add it.
Sign in with your CanQuiz account
The first time, ChatGPT takes you to a CanQuiz screen to sign in and give permission. You only do it once.
Ask for the quiz
Type @CanQuiz or just ask: “make me a 10-question quiz on the French Revolution, high school level”. You can also paste your notes or upload the PDF.
Open it in CanQuiz
ChatGPT gives you the link to your quiz. It opens in CanQuiz, already saved to your account.
Take it and review it
You answer one question at a time and see right away whether you got it right. To review another day, use CanQuiz or stay in the chat.
An example: what you ask and what you get
You ask ChatGPT for a three-question quiz on photosynthesis. On the left, the conversation; on the right, the quiz as it looks in CanQuiz. In the real quiz the right answer stays hidden until you answer: here it's highlighted so you can see where each part comes from.
In ChatGPT
Done: I saved “Photosynthesis” to your CanQuiz account, with 3 questions and their explanations. Open it here to take it.

Question 1 of 3 · One answer
Which organelle of a plant cell carries out photosynthesis?

Question 2 of 3 · Several answers
What does a plant need for photosynthesis?

Question 3 of 3 · True or false
Photosynthesis releases oxygen into the atmosphere.
- TrueCorrect
- False
Explanation: The oxygen comes from water molecules the plant splits using the energy of light.
Why not just answer in the chat?
You can ask ChatGPT to quiz you in the conversation, and sometimes that's enough. But a chat is nothing like an exam.
You don't see the answer first
In a chat, the answer often sits right under the question. In CanQuiz you pick first and the grading comes after, with its explanation.
Retry only what you missed
At the end you see your score and can redo just the questions you got wrong, round after round, until you clear them all.
Your group takes the same quiz
Once saved to your account, it shares as a link that opens without signing up. Whoever opens it answers the questions instead of reading someone else's chat.
It lives in a file you keep
A saved quiz exports to JSON, CSV or Anki. The JSON opens again in CanQuiz whenever you like, also without an account.
It isn't only ChatGPT: it also works with Claude and with programs on your computer such as Claude Code. How to connect CanQuiz to an AI chat
How to get better questions
Give it your notes, not just the topic
With just a topic, ChatGPT asks what it thinks matters. With your notes, it asks what you'll be asked, in your own terms.
Say which exam it's for
Add a line like “senior-year high school level” or “civil service exam, hard questions”. The plugin sets the format; you set the level.
If you want lots of questions
ChatGPT saves up to 50 at a time. If you ask for more, it adds them to the same quiz in another batch.
Check anything that looks off
ChatGPT gets things wrong sometimes, especially dates and figures. If an explanation doesn't match your notes, trust your notes and fix the question in CanQuiz or ask the chat to.
Frequently asked questions
Can I make a practice exam with ChatGPT?
Yes. Ask ChatGPT for a quiz on the topics your exam covers, ideally from your notes and at your exam's level, then take it in CanQuiz: you pick an answer before seeing the solution and get your score at the end. For a timed run, put the quizzes of one subject in a folder and use Timed practice.
Do I need a CanQuiz account?
Yes. The plugin saves quizzes to your account, so the first time you sign in and give permission.
Does this use the AI included in my CanQuiz account?
No. ChatGPT writes the questions, and saving them to CanQuiz doesn't spend the included AI. Your account's AI is for when CanQuiz makes the quiz from your PDFs, photos or notes.
Does it work with Gemini, Claude or Copilot?
With Claude, yes, by connecting your CanQuiz account, and with programs on your computer such as Claude Code. With Gemini, Copilot or other programs that support MCP it may work, but it hasn't been tested.
How many questions can I ask for?
Up to 50 at a time. If you ask for more, ChatGPT creates the quiz and adds the rest in another batch. Questions can be one answer, several answers, true or false, or open questions.
Can I review without leaving ChatGPT?
Yes. Ask it to quiz you: it asks one question at a time without showing the answer, and CanQuiz grades the multiple-choice ones and schedules when to ask again.
Can I send the quiz to my classmates?
Yes. Ask ChatGPT for the share link, or share it from CanQuiz: it opens without signing up. Whenever you like, make it private again.
What does CanQuiz get from my conversation?
Only what each action needs: the quiz ChatGPT writes, which quiz you want to open or change, and your answers when you review. Your notes and the rest of the conversation stay in ChatGPT, so think about which notes you give it.
How do I remove it?
Uninstall the plugin in ChatGPT, and in CanQuiz remove its access from Settings, under “Connected apps”. Your quizzes stay in your account.
Try it with your next topic
Add the plugin, ask ChatGPT for a quiz on what you're studying and take it in CanQuiz.
