When a self-made quiz beats re-reading

The reason a practice quiz works is not the multiple choice format. It is that you have to produce an answer before you see it, which is the same mechanism behind every effective review technique. The format just makes the practice fast. If you find yourself entering questions and then immediately taking the quiz, you are missing most of the benefit: enter the questions today, take the quiz tomorrow, and again a few days later.

Write questions the way your teacher does. If exams ask "which of the following is NOT a cause of," write some of those. If they ask for calculations, make some of the answers numbers. The generator builds wrong answers by drawing from your other answers, so the more questions you enter on one topic, the more plausible the distractors become. A quiz of five questions will have obvious wrong answers; a quiz of twenty will not.

Use the results screen as a to-do list, not a score. Every question you missed identifies a specific gap. Go back to your notes for that specific thing, then rewrite the question if it was unclear. The two-week exam plan shows where a practice test fits in the run-up to an exam, and why the first one should happen earlier than feels comfortable.
