How to revise with a study group quiz

Study groups easily turn into chatting. A quiz gives the session a clear job: everyone writes questions, everyone answers, and everyone leaves knowing what to revise next.

1. Split the topics

Give each person one or two topics from the syllabus. Their job before the session is to write five to ten questions on their topics, with the answers and a one-line explanation. Writing questions for others is revision in itself: you have to understand a topic to ask a good question about it.

2. Put the questions in one place

Collect everyone's questions into one test. With the practice test maker, one person adds them to a question bank, checks for mistakes and builds a test. The AI question generator can fill gaps for topics nobody covered; check its drafts before you use them.

3. Run it as a live quiz

When you meet, show the questions on a laptop or TV and run a live quiz. Everyone joins on their phone with a 6-digit code, answers at the same time and sees a leaderboard after each question. Our guide on running a live quiz covers timing and setup.

4. Pause on the wrong answers

The most useful moment is just after an answer is revealed. When many people chose the same wrong option, stop and let the person who wrote the question explain it. That misunderstanding is probably common, and the exam may test it.

5. Share the test for homework

After the session, share the same test as a link so everyone can retake it alone, without an account. Retake it a few days later to see what stuck.
