What is spaced repetition and how does Quiz Genius use it?

Spaced repetition is a study method that schedules reviews at increasing intervals. Quiz Genius tracks which flashcards you know and which you miss, then brings back weak cards sooner and pushes strong ones further out so you retain more with less time.

Can AI generate quizzes from my textbook or lecture slides?

Yes. Upload a photo, PDF, or text from any source and Quiz Genius generates multiple-choice, true/false, and written-answer questions automatically. You can run them as a practice quiz or a timed exam.

Quiz Genius is free to download and use on both iOS and Android. A premium subscription is available for additional features.

What platforms does Quiz Genius support?

Quiz Genius is available on iOS (iPhone and iPad) from the App Store and on Android from Google Play. The app works offline once your study sets are downloaded.

How does exam mode work in Quiz Genius?

Exam mode lets you take a timed test from any study set. You answer questions under time pressure, then get a detailed score breakdown and a list of every question you missed so you know exactly what to review.

True or False: Peptide bonds form between amino acids' R groups.

False. Peptide bonds form between the carboxyl group of one amino acid and the amino group of another.

What is denaturation?

The process where a protein loses its structure and function due to environmental changes.

List two factors affecting protein structure.

- pH - Temperature - Ionic strength

Effect of temperature increase on proteins?

Causes denaturation, leading to loss of function.

True or False: All proteins have quaternary structure.

False. Only proteins with multiple polypeptide chains have quaternary structure.
