Dedicated Support

MasterQuiz AI uses artificial intelligence to automatically generate quizzes from your PDF documents. Upload any PDF and the plugin will analyze the content to create high-quality quiz questions including multiple choice, true/false, and essay questions.
Key Features:
- AI-Powered Quiz Generation: Upload a PDF and get a complete quiz with questions, answers, and explanations.
- Multiple Question Types: Supports multiple choice (MCQ), true/false, and essay questions with model answers.
- LearnDash Integration: Automatically create LearnDash quizzes and questions with one click.
- 9 Export Formats: Export quizzes as JSON, XML, CSV, Plain Text, Moodle GIFT, QTI 1.2, Aiken, LearnDash CSV, or LearnDash XML.
- Points System: AI assigns points to each question, normalized to 100 total.
- Bloom’s Taxonomy: Questions are tagged with cognitive levels (Remember, Understand, Apply, Analyze, Evaluate, Create).
- Background Processing: Quiz generation runs in the background so you can continue working.
- Shortcode Support: Display the quiz generator on any page with
[masterquiz_ai].
AI Providers:
This plugin connects to external AI services to generate quiz questions. You need at least one API key:
- Google Gemini (primary): Get API key
- OpenRouter (secondary fallback): Get API key
- Groq (final fallback): Get API key
Cascade order for reliability: Gemini, then OpenRouter, then Groq. If one provider or model fails, the next is tried automatically.
Optional RAG Service:
For improved quiz quality with large PDFs, you can connect an optional RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) microservice for intelligent text chunk selection.
Generation Modes:
- Fast Mode: 2-call generation for quick results. Produces questions with options, points, hints, and cognitive level tags.
- Quality Mode: 3-phase generation for deeper analysis. Adds option rationales, model answers for essays, and rubric criteria.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need LearnDash?
No. The plugin works standalone as a quiz generator with 9 export formats. LearnDash integration is optional. When LearnDash is active, you get the added ability to auto-create LearnDash quizzes.
Which AI provider should I use?
Google Gemini is recommended as the primary provider. It offers free API access and high-quality quiz generation. OpenRouter and Groq serve as fallbacks.
What PDF formats are supported?
The plugin supports text-based PDF files. Scanned/image-based PDFs are not supported as the plugin cannot extract text from images (no OCR).
How many questions can I generate?
Between 3 and 12 questions per quiz, configurable from the settings page or shortcode interface.
Is my PDF data secure?
Uploaded PDFs are stored temporarily on your server and automatically deleted after quiz generation. The PDF text is sent to the configured AI provider for quiz generation. No data is stored externally.
Changelog
Important update: refreshes Gemini / OpenRouter / Groq model support after upstream model retirements, and restores the Gemini, then OpenRouter, then Groq cascade so quiz generation keeps working when a provider fails.
1.0.6
- Fix: Updated Gemini model support for current Google API projects. Older model IDs (including Gemini 2.5 Flash Lite) are no longer accepted for many new API keys; the plugin now prefers Gemini 3.5 / 3.1 Flash models and can follow Google’s suggested replacement model automatically.
- Fix: Restored reliable provider cascade order (Gemini first, then OpenRouter, then Groq) so quiz generation continues when the primary provider or a specific model fails.
- Fix: Refreshed OpenRouter and Groq model lists after upstream free/production model changes (retired Groq Llama IDs and rotating OpenRouter free endpoints).
- Fix: Fast mode no longer pins generation to a single retired Gemini model ID.
1.0.5
- Added: Edit your generated quiz questions (text, answers, hints) before downloading or creating the LearnDash quiz.
- Improved: The number of questions is always kept within 3–5 (no unexpected snapping).
- Improved: Your saved changes are used automatically for every download format and LearnDash creation.
1.0.4
Improved : the loading experience to make quiz generation feel faster and more responsive.
1.0.3
- Updated: Readme optimised with UK SEO keywords for WordPress quiz plugin, AI quiz generator, trivia, and assessment tool searches.
1.0.2
- Updated: Plugin readme with professional SEO-optimized content, expanded FAQs, How It Works section, and improved WordPress.org discoverability.
1.0.1
- Fix: LearnDash quiz creation failure on newer LearnDash versions where WpProQuiz_Model_QuizMapper::save() no longer returns the saved object. The mapper return value is now handled defensively so the code works on both older and newer LearnDash versions.
- Fix: Google Gemini calls failed with a 400 “Unknown name ‘thinkingConfig’/’responseMimeType’/’responseSchema’” error because the plugin tried the v1 endpoint first. Switched to v1beta exclusively (the only endpoint that supports these fields).
- Fix: Refreshed OpenRouter free-model list. Removed three models that returned 404 “No endpoints found” (google/gemma-3-27b-it:free, mistralai/mistral-small-3.1-24b-instruct:free, qwen/qwen3-4b:free) and replaced them with currently available free models.
- Fix: Removed Groq model llama-3.1-70b-versatile which has been decommissioned by Groq, and added current production models (llama-4-scout-17b-16e-instruct, qwen/qwen3-32b, llama-3.1-8b-instant).
