Turn a webpage into a quiz in two steps.

Good webpages to convert

Explanatory articles, reputable encyclopedia entries, official guidance pages, product documentation, and news reports all make good sources. Current affairs quizzes built from recent news are especially popular with teachers preparing students for general knowledge rounds and competitive exams.

Opinion pieces and heavily commented pages are harder to work with, because questions may end up testing an author's opinion rather than facts.

Copy text or save as PDF

For most pages, selecting and copying the main article text into the AI tab works well. Leave out navigation menus, cookie notices, adverts, and related-article lists, which add noise. For long or complex pages, using your browser's print option and choosing 'Save as PDF' captures the page layout, including headings, which helps the AI understand structure.

Many browsers also offer a reader mode that strips a page down to its main text before you copy or print it.

Check the source first

A quiz is only as accurate as its source. Before converting a page, check who published it and when. Prefer official, educational, and established news sources. For fast-moving topics, note the date, since facts in a news article may change within days.

If two sources disagree, write the questions yourself rather than relying on either.

Respecting copyright

Using a webpage as source material for your own questions is different from copying the page itself. Share the link to the original article with learners rather than reproducing large parts of it in your quiz, and avoid republishing paywalled content. When in doubt, write questions in your own words based on the facts rather than copying sentences.

A weekly current affairs routine

A simple routine is to pick three or four reliable articles each week, generate a few questions from each, review them, and combine them into one short weekly quiz. Tag each question by week and topic. Before exams, filter the Question Bank by month to build a cumulative current affairs revision quiz.

Turning on the leaderboard adds a competitive element that keeps learners coming back each week.

Review for accuracy and relevance

Review every question against the page. Remove questions about minor details such as quotes from minor sources or exact times, and keep the ones that test ideas worth remembering. Make sure dates, names, and figures match the source exactly. A quick review keeps your quizzes trustworthy, which matters most when learners share them with others.

Example: a Monday current affairs quiz

A coaching centre teacher saves four articles from the previous week — a budget announcement, a space mission, a sports result, and a new government scheme — using reader mode and 'Save as PDF'. She generates four questions from each, removes two that depend on exact figures likely to change, and combines the rest into a fourteen-question quiz.

The quiz goes out every Monday with the leaderboard switched on. Each question is tagged by month, so before exams the class gets a cumulative revision quiz built in minutes.

Quick checklist

Choose reputable, dated sources. Copy only the main article text, or save a clean PDF using reader mode. Tell the AI the audience and to use only the provided text. Remove questions about trivial details or figures likely to change. Link learners to the original article rather than copying it.

Tag questions by date and topic so they are easy to find and reuse when building revision quizzes later.

Frequently asked questions

Can I paste a URL instead of the text? Copy the page text or save the page as a PDF, then use that. How many questions per article? Three to five focused questions per article usually work best for a weekly quiz.

What about fast-changing news? Avoid exact figures likely to change, and date each question with a tag.
