How to create a quiz with AI

Before asking the AI for anything, get these 3 things clear: it’ll save you rounds of corrections later.

1. The exact topic: the more specific, the better the quiz. “Digital marketing” is not the same as “metrics of an email marketing campaign.”
2. The audience and level: is it for school students, your work team, or social media followers? That changes the vocabulary and difficulty.
3. The number of questions: for short classes or trainings, 8 to 12 questions is a good starting point.
4. If you have source material (notes, a PDF, a slide deck), have it ready: the quiz will be more accurate if the AI works from your content instead of just its general knowledge.

Open a new conversation in Claude (https://claude.ai) or ChatGPT (https://chatgpt.com). If you have source material, paste it first (or upload the PDF) and then ask for the quiz. Use a specific prompt:

Create a 10-question multiple-choice quiz about [TOPIC],
for [AUDIENCE, e.g.: new employees / high school students].
For each question give me:
1. The question
2. 4 options (A, B, C, D)
3. Which one is correct
4. A short explanation of why it's correct (feedback)
Difficulty level: [easy / intermediate / hard]

The AI hands you the 10 questions with options, correct answer and explanation. Read it fully: check that the facts are correct, especially if the topic has dates, numbers or specific names.

If something isn’t clear or you want more questions on a subtopic, keep chatting: “give me 3 more questions about X” or “question 4 is too easy, raise the difficulty”.

Google Forms has a free Quiz mode, with no limit on questions or responses, that auto-grades multiple-choice ones.

1. Go to https://forms.google.com and sign in with your Google account.
2. Create a new form (the + icon).
3. Turn it into a quiz: Settings (⚙️) → “Quizzes” tab → turn on “Make this a quiz”.
4. Copy each question from the AI as a new question, type “Multiple choice”, with its 4 options.
5. On each question, click “Answer key” (bottom left of the question), mark the correct option, assign points and paste the AI’s explanation into “Add answer feedback”.
6. Repeat for all 10 questions.
7. In Settings → Quizzes, choose when the grade is released: “Immediately after each submission” (the person taking it sees their score right away) or “Later, after manual review”.

Pasting question by question takes time. Ask the AI for the result already organized so you just copy and paste each block into Google Forms:

Give me the same quiz in this format, one below the other,
separated by a blank line:

Question: [text]
A) [option]
B) [option]
C) [option]
D) [option]
Correct: [letter]
Feedback: [short explanation]

That way, while you paste each block into Google Forms, you have the correct option and feedback right below it, without having to search for it in the chat.

1. In the top right of Google Forms, click “Send” and copy the link (or share it by email, WhatsApp or social media).
2. As people respond, go to the “Responses” tab to see everyone’s scores and which questions were missed the most.
3. Google Forms automatically shows you which question had the most incorrect answers: a clue for what to reinforce in your next class or training.

If you prefer a more interactive, game-like experience (with a timer, music and a live ranking), you can take the same AI-generated questions to tools like Kahoot; the process of generating the content with Claude or ChatGPT is the same.

Problem	Fix
The AI repeats very similar questions	Ask it to “not repeat the idea from question X” or give it a different subtopic for each block of questions
Google Forms doesn’t grade a question	Check that it’s “Multiple choice”, “Checkboxes” or “Dropdown”; “short answer” and “paragraph” types are graded by hand
I can’t find “Answer key”	It appears right below each question’s options, only when the form is in Quiz mode
The AI’s options have incorrect facts	Correct them yourself before moving them to Google Forms; verify dates, figures or proper names with a reliable source
I want to reuse the quiz for another group	In Google Forms use Responses → Accept new responses, or duplicate the form (⋮ → Make a copy)
