Frequently asked questions
What is QuizMaster?
A free platform where students practise technology topics through short quizzes, follow beginner-to-advanced roadmaps, read related articles, and turn their own question-bank documents into quizzes.
Are the quizzes free?
Yes. Every quiz, the daily challenge and the document tools are free to use.
Do I need an account?
No. There is no sign-up. Your progress is stored in your own browser.
Are my quiz results saved?
Yes, locally. Scores, streaks and XP are kept in this browser's localStorage. They are not uploaded anywhere, so clearing site data or switching browsers or devices starts you fresh. The Progress page lets you export a backup file.
Which technologies are covered?
Python, JavaScript, Java, HTML, CSS, React, SQL, MongoDB, Docker and Git have published quizzes today. Many more subjects are planned and are marked "Coming soon" instead of being padded with weak content.
Can beginners use it?
Yes. Each technology starts with beginner or basic material and climbs through five levels: Beginner, Basic, Intermediate, Advanced and Expert.
Can I practise advanced questions?
Yes. Advanced and Expert quizzes cover edge cases, debugging, performance and interview-style scenarios.
Can I generate quizzes from PDFs?
Yes, with limits. The generator reads documents that already contain multiple-choice questions, or question-and-answer pairs, and turns them into a playable quiz. It works entirely in your browser and does not write new questions from prose.
How does quiz generation work?
The text is extracted from your file in the browser and matched against common question formats such as numbered questions with A-D options and an "Answer:" line. Questions the parser is unsure about are flagged as Needs review.
Which document formats are supported?
PDF (with selectable text), plain text (.txt) and Markdown (.md). Scanned PDFs need OCR, which is not available in this browser-only version. Word, PowerPoint, CSV and JSON import are not supported yet. See the PDF format guide at /pdf-format for the exact layout.
Is my uploaded document sent to a server?
No. Files are read and parsed in your browser tab. Closing the tab discards the extracted text unless you have a quiz in progress, which is kept in your browser storage.
Can I use this on my phone?
Yes. The entire site is fully responsive and works beautifully on mobile devices, though reading large code snippets in quizzes is often easier on a laptop.
Will you add Data Structures & Algorithms (DSA)?
Yes. A full CS Fundamentals module covering DSA, Operating Systems, and Computer Networks is planned for the near future.
Can I transfer my progress to another device?
Yes. Go to the Progress page and click "Export Backup" to download a file containing your scores, XP, and streaks. You can restore this file on any other device.
Why are there ads on the site?
To keep the platform 100% free for students without requiring subscriptions or selling user data. Ads are only placed on reading pages and never interrupt the actual quiz-taking experience.
