Direct answer: Upload your teaching material. Edithly generates a complete question paper — MCQs, short answers, long answers, marks allocation — structured and ready to print, in under 2 minutes.
The Challenge of Writing Question Papers
A well-constructed question paper is harder to write than it looks. Teachers must:
- Cover the full syllabus without repetition
- Vary question difficulty (remember, understand, apply, analyse)
- Allocate marks proportionally
- Ensure no ambiguous phrasing
- Format consistently for printing
For a 100-mark paper covering 5 chapters, this process can take 4–6 hours of a teacher's time — time that could be spent teaching.
Edithly reduces that to under 10 minutes.
How Question Paper Generation Works
Upload Source Material
Upload the chapter PDFs, lesson notes, or curriculum documents that the paper should cover. Edithly reads the full content — not just headings or keywords.

- Total marks (e.g., 80 marks, 100 marks)

- Difficulty distribution (if applicable)

Question Types Edithly Generates
Multiple Choice Questions (MCQs) One correct answer, three distractors. Appropriate for testing knowledge and comprehension. Edithly generates high-quality distractors based on common misconceptions in the topic area.
Short Answer Questions 2–4 mark questions requiring brief responses. Edithly frames these around key definitions, comparisons, or direct application of concepts.
Long Answer / Essay Questions 8–15 mark questions requiring extended responses. Edithly generates these from complex sections of the source material — causation, analysis, evaluation questions.
Case-Based Questions Scenario or data-based questions requiring application of knowledge. Particularly useful for business studies, science, and law subjects.
