How to make a test from a Word document

If your exam questions are already in a Word document, there’s no need to retype them. Mark the correct answers the way you’re used to — bold, color or an asterisk — and upload the file. The trainer recognizes the questions right in your browser and lets you start practicing immediately.

Step-by-step guide

  1. Format the questions

    Start each question with a number (“1.”, “2)” or “Question 1”) and each option with a letter: A) B) C) or Cyrillic А) Б) В). Word’s automatic list numbering works too.

  2. Mark the correct answers

    Make the correct option bold, highlight it, shade it or underline it. You can also put an asterisk before the letter: *B), or add an answer key at the end: “Answers: 1-B, 2-C”.

  3. Save the file as DOCX

    The old .doc format isn’t supported. In Word, choose “File → Save As → Word Document (.docx)”. In Google Docs, choose “File → Download → Microsoft Word”.

  4. Upload the file to the trainer

    Sign in with your email, tell us where the correct answers are and drag the document into the upload area. The file itself is never sent: AI receives only its text.

  5. Check the recognized questions

    The review screen shows which answers are marked as correct. Tap an option to fix the answer, edit the text or delete anything extra, then save the test.

Formatting example

Here’s a question that is recognized without any edits (the correct answer is in bold or marked with an asterisk):

1. What is the capital of Kazakhstan?
A) Almaty
*B) Astana
C) Shymkent
Explanation: it has been the capital since 1997.

Which marking methods the trainer understands

The method is detected automatically, so you don’t need to choose it:

  • bold text, highlighting, shading or underlining of the correct option;
  • an asterisk or plus before the option: *B) text, +B) text, or an asterisk at the end: B) text *;
  • an answer key at the end of the document: “Answers: 1-B, 2-C, 3-A” or line by line “1. B”;
  • an “Answer: B” line right after the question’s options.

If the questions aren’t recognized

Most often, the correct answers aren’t marked or the options don’t start with a letter. Refine the hint when uploading (for example, “the correct answer is always the first option”), download the Word template or mark the answers manually on the review screen.
