How does the AI create plausible wrong answers?

The AI generates distractors that are related in meaning, category, or sound to the correct answer. This prevents students from guessing correctly by elimination and ensures the quiz truly tests word knowledge.

How many words should I include in a quiz?

For a weekly vocabulary quiz, 10–15 words is standard. For a comprehensive review, up to 25 words works well. Fewer words allow for more focus; more words provide broader coverage.

Should I quiz immediately after teaching new words?

Research on spaced repetition suggests that introducing words on one day and quizzing a few days later produces better long-term retention than learning and testing on the same day.

Why It Matters

Vocabulary quizzes that use active recall strengthen neural connections associated with word meanings. Research distinguishes between receptive vocabulary (recognizing a word's meaning) and productive vocabulary (using it correctly). Multiple-choice quizzes test receptive knowledge, and spaced repetition — introducing words early and quizzing later — produces better long-term retention than same-day learning and testing.
