Writing and checking questions

How to check AI-generated study questions against your notes

An AI-generated study question can be well written and still have a wrong answer. Check the source passage, read every option and look for missing conditions before using the question to judge what you know.

Find the supporting source passage

Locate where the document states or supports the answer. A generated explanation can sound convincing while adding information not present in the notes. If you cannot find the support, mark the item for review rather than assuming the AI filled the gap correctly. Keep the original heading or page reference in your checking notes.

Check the question’s scope

Look for conditions, time frames, units and exceptions. A question may ask something broader than the source explains. It may also omit the context that makes one option correct. Read it as a new learner would, without supplying details from memory that the question itself does not contain.

A worked study task

Try the idea with a concrete example

Start here

Generated claim: “An average speed of 5 m/s means speed stayed constant.”

Check this

Source check: the document defines an average over the entire interval.

The constant-speed conclusion is not established by that definition. Revise or exclude the item and verify the replacement answer in the source.

This is a worked example for the guide, not a screenshot or a ready-made deck. Your generated result will depend on the document you upload.

Try to defend a different answer

For a quiz, inspect every option. For a card or blank, think of other reasonable responses. If another answer fits the wording and the source, revise the question. Do not force a single answer simply because the generator chose it. An ambiguous item should not be treated as a clean measure of your knowledge.

Classify the issue before repeating the item

Separate a source extraction problem, an incorrect answer and a weakly worded question. Fixing the wording will not repair a wrong explanation; rereading the source will not make two valid choices unambiguous. Keep a short record of what changed so your next attempt uses a checked version.
