Step 3: Paste Your Questions (Any Format Works!)

This part is incredibly flexible. Paste your questions into the input field—text, CSV, JSON, or anything else you have. Don’t worry about formatting. PrepareBuddy’s AI will automatically clean up and standardize your questions.

What Happens Behind the Scenes:

• Less than 4 options? Missing ones are marked "Not Available."
• More than 4 options? Extra ones are merged into option D.

It’s that simple. No tedious editing or reformatting required.

Step 4: Process Your Questions into Modules

Click Process Questions, and the AI will scan your input and sort everything into clean, coherent exam modules. These modules are structured for clarity, ensuring you or your learners don’t miss any important topics.

Step 5: Select and Customize Modules

Pick the modules you want to include in your exam. Want to make it multilingual? You can translate the entire exam into another language with just a click. Perfect for international learners or bilingual test prep.

Now customize the experience:

• Difficulty Level – Match your current prep stage
• Number of Questions – Build a short drill or a full-length mock
• Time Limit – Simulate real test pressure or go untimed for learning

Step 6: Generate a Shareable Exam Link (Optional)

Want to share the exam with classmates, your study group, or trainees? Use the Create Shareable Link option. This lets anyone take the exam without needing to register. Just remember, this option can’t be used if you’re assigning to specific registered users.

Step 7: Take the Exam with Built-in Support

Click Start Exam and begin testing. Stuck on a question? Don’t stress. The AI Buddy is right there in the bottom-right corner—ask it anything. Whether you need a hint or an explanation, it’s got your back.

Step 8: Instant Results and Certification

As soon as you submit the exam, your results are ready. You’ll get:

• A detailed breakdown of your performance
• Topic-wise insights for smarter review
• A downloadable Result Report
• An official Certificate of Completion

Great for keeping track of progress or adding to your portfolio.
