Educators and trainers from corporate and government agencies rely on AI-based platforms to create assessments. Parents also use the test generators to test their kids’ knowledge. Even students can create self-assessment tests and determine their weak areas in the subject/ topic.
PrepAI and Quillionz have been listed among the best AI-based test generation platforms in the market. However, these are two similar yet different software applications with features of their own. Which among the two platforms is a better AI question generator, and why? The comparison has been made based on the most important characteristics a user needs from the question generators.

2. 1. Data Submission Methods/
Inputs Formats/ Sources
The first factor is the input method. How
will you enter the text into the question
generator? In how many ways can the
platform accept the material to prepare
the test paper? How does it create
questions from the text?
3. Copy/ Paste Text
Type directly into the input box
PDF files
MS Word Docx
YouTube URL (with or without captions)
Video files
Wikipedia Search Results from Wikipedia search by entering the
topic
PrepAI
Most question generation platforms accept blocks of text copy-
pasted into the given text box on the website/ application. The text is
then processed using an NLP (Natural Language Processing)
algorithm that works as the backbone of the platform.
That said, PrepAI accepts multiple input formats. The platform is
designed to facilitate easy question-generating methods for
teachers and educators. PrepAI reads data from –
PrepAI is designed and developed by DataToBiz, one of the leading AI
consulting companies in the market.
4. Text
PDF files
YouTube URL (only with captions)
Quillionz
Quillionz also accepts multiple input formats even though they
are limited to-
Captions make it easy for the algorithm to understand the video
and convert the text into questions.
The question generator reads the data from the input source and
identifies the potential sentences that can be rephrased as
questions. The given input data is then converted to questions
and shared with the user. Quillionz has been designed by
Harbinger Group, a well-known software product engineering
company.
5. 2. Type of Questions
We know that questions come in different
types, and assessments can have questions
in multiple methods or have a single format.
Once the input is provided to the platform, it’s
time to choose the types of questions you
want in the test paper.

6. MCQs (Multiple Choice Questions)
True/False
Descriptive questions
Fillups
Statement Based Questions
PrepAI
PrepAI gives you an array of question types by
automatically generating questions and categorizing
them into different types. Do you want to go with the
standard format and list them as multiple choice
questions? Do you want the students to write their
answers to descriptive questions? You can edit the
questions and select only the ones you want. PrepAI
provides the following types of questions-
7. MCQs (Multiple Choice Questions)
True/False
Interpretive Questions
Fillups
‘Wh’ type questions
Quillionz
Quillionz is also a user-friendly AI question generation platform
with many types of questions available to prepare the test
paper. It offers-
Quillionz creates MCQs for a very limited set of questions where
answers are expected to be a date, number, simple words, etc.
The platform has a little trouble handling complex subjects.
‘Wh’ questions are the ones that start with what, when, where,
and why. These questions make students think before they
answer, and it’s similar to PrepAI’s Descriptive Questions and
Statement Based Questions.
8. 3. Output Formats
So your question paper is ready. How will
you share it with the students? These are
online AI-based platforms. The question
papers need to be distributed to the
students for them to answer. That means
that the test paper has to be exported into
other easy-to-use formats so that they can
be emailed or printed on paper.

9. PDF
MS Word Docx File
PrepAI
PrepAI is all about user-friendliness. The platform
exports the final question paper in two formats-
These two formats are the most used and most
comfortable files that can be shared, printed, emailed,
etc., in less than a minute. There’s no need to convert
the Word or PDF files into any other format to open the
document. PDF files retain formatting and are a great
choice when the question paper includes descriptive
questions.

QTI (Question and Test Interoperability)
Quillionz
Quillionz supports four types of output formats to export the
question paper after it has been created.
QTI is an XML-based output format where the test paper
can be reused in another system. It’s a slightly complex
format and will have to be converted to another easier
format to print or email the question paper to students.
11. 4. Difficulty Level
Categorization
We’ve talked about generating questions
until now. It’s time to see how the questions
can be customized and edited to enhance
the quality of the test paper. Do you want the
students to have an easy test and get full
marks? Or maybe you want them to work
hard and sweat a little. Choosing a difficulty
level will decide how hard or easy the
question paper will be.
12. Keep it easy
Medium/ moderately easy
or Hard
PrepAI
PrepAI was designed by keeping the educators in mind.
The ML and NLP algorithms work how a teacher’s mind
would work when creating a test paper. You can choose
between three difficulty levels before you finalize the
question paper and export it in an output format of your
choice.
13. Quillionz
Quillionz does offer to choose between the difficulty levels.
The question and answer paper will have a predetermined
difficulty level based on the input text. You cannot simplify
the test paper or make it hard for students to answer
14. 5. Add Your Own Questions
Personalization is the keyword of our times, isn’t
it? Even though educators use AI-based
question generators, they still like to add
questions from their side. You relate to this,
don’t you?
15. PrepAI
That’s where PrepAI works its magic. You can add
questions to the test papers created by the platform,
and PrepAI provides predefined templates to include
more questions for the input text. When combined
with the previous feature, this personalization of the
test paper is a highly effective feature. You can be
assured that the student’s knowledge is being
thoroughly assessed, that too without putting excess
pressure on you.
16. Quillionz
Quillionz doesn’t offer the option to add questions of
your own to the platform. You can choose the text
and type of questions, but cannot include new ones.
Therefore, you’ll have to go with the ones generated
by the AI platform. Of course, Quillionz allows you to
highlight content and make notes, but you cannot
input questions separately and add them to the
generated test paper.
