How to turn notes into effective quizzes

GuidesOct 20255 min read

Good quizzes start with good notes.

If your notes are messy, copied word for word from slides, or full of random bullet points, Kram AI will still generate questions, but they will not be as sharp or useful. The clearer your input, the better your quizzes become.

Here’s how to prep your notes so Kram AI can turn them into effective, high-impact quizzes.

1. Keep structure simple

Use clean sections or headings instead of long blocks of text.

Example
  • Topic: Memory
  • Short term memory holds 5-9 items for about 20 seconds
  • Long term memory stores information permanently

Clear structure helps Kram AI recognise concepts and relationships, not just isolated facts.

2. Write in short, factual lines

Think: one idea per line. Avoid full paragraphs or sentences copied from a textbook.

Bad

In classical conditioning, a neutral stimulus becomes associated with a response.

Good

Classical conditioning links a neutral stimulus to a response through association.

This format lets Kram AI form precise, exam style questions instead of vague ones.

3. Clean up before uploading

If your notes are in Notion, Word, or Google Docs, run a quick cleanup before exporting. You can even use GPT in Notion or ChatGPT to tidy and format them:

"Reformat these notes so each fact or concept is on its own line. Remove filler words and keep the structure clear."

Once they are concise and consistent, export them as a PDF, DOCX, or PPTX, and upload directly to Kram AI.

4. Avoid visual clutter

Kram AI reads text, not design.

  • Remove images or unnecessary diagrams unless they’re labelled.
  • Delete duplicate content.
  • Avoid random bullet symbols or emojis that can confuse parsing.

Simple text = cleaner data = sharper questions.

5. Combine summary and detail

Mix brief definitions with slightly deeper explanations. This helps Kram AI generate both recall and reasoning questions.

Example
  • Term: Homeostasis
  • Definition: Regulation of internal conditions (for example temperature, blood sugar)
  • Purpose: Keeps conditions stable for enzyme activity

6. Test small sections first

Before uploading your full notes, try one topic. Generate a quiz, then check if the questions feel accurate and well targeted. You will quickly see what kind of note formatting produces the best results.

7. Keep improving

Every time you study, tweak your notes to be more structured and consistent. Kram AI learns from what you upload. Better input today means better quizzes tomorrow.

Key takeaway

Clean, structured notes are not just easier to read. They make your AI generated quizzes smarter, faster, and more useful for actual learning.
