How to convert a question paper into an online test.
Attach a PDF or a few photos of your question paper, let AI draft matching questions into your Question Bank, review them, and publish a shareable digital test — no manual retyping.
The short answer
To convert a question paper into an online test, attach the PDF or photos of it to an AI-assisted quiz builder, review the questions it drafts, and publish. In YonoLMS, that means opening the AI tab on a new quiz, attaching your source material, choosing how many questions to generate, and approving the drafts before they reach students. The eight steps below walk through the full process.
The eight-step process.
From a printed page to a shareable link.
- 1
Gather your source material
A PDF works best. If you only have a printed copy, a few clear photos of the pages work too.
- 2
Open the AI tab
In YonoLMS, start a new quiz and switch to the AI tab instead of building questions by hand.
- 3
Attach the PDF or photos
Upload the file, or attach photos directly from your device.
- 4
Set your question count
Tell YonoLMS how many questions you want drafted from the material.
- 5
Let AI draft the questions
The AI reads the material and drafts matching questions straight into your Question Bank.
- 6
Review every question
Nothing publishes automatically. Edit wording, fix answer choices, adjust difficulty tags, or uncheck anything you don't want.
- 7
Build the quiz
Add the reviewed questions to a quiz and configure settings — time limits, shuffle, leaderboard, number of attempts.
- 8
Publish and share
Share the quiz as a link or QR code. No student account is required to take it.

AI-assisted conversion is the fastest path when your questions only exist on paper or in a PDF, but it isn't the only option. Which one fits depends on the shape your source material is already in.
Which method fits your material?
| Method | Best for | Effort |
|---|---|---|
| Manual retyping | A short quiz, or wording that needs to be exact | Highest |
| AI-assisted (PDF/photos) | An existing question paper, textbook page, or scanned document | Lowest |
| Spreadsheet import (.xlsx) | Questions you've already typed into Excel or a CSV | Low, no AI step needed |
Getting a clean result
AI-drafted questions are a starting point, not a final answer key — treat the review step as part of the process, not optional. A few things that make the review faster:
- Use a clear source file. A clean PDF or well-lit photo is easier to draft accurate questions from than a blurry scan.
- Generate in smaller batches for long papers. Reviewing 10 questions carefully beats skimming 50.
- Double-check the answer key on every drafted question before you publish, especially for numerical or fill-in-the-blank answers.
- Tag as you review. Adding difficulty and topic tags while reviewing makes the question reusable later, not just for this one quiz.
- Check each question against good MCQ principles while you review — see how to create good multiple-choice questions for what to look for.
