Practise several readings in one session

A course often spreads its reading across several PDFs. Calten lets you select saved documents together and create one practice test using those documents, without first merging the PDFs into a new file.

1. Create a free account and upload your PDFs

Sign in or create a free Calten account. Upload each PDF through the upload page so it is available in your Library. The multiple-document workflow uses saved PDFs in your account; the guest upload starts with one PDF.

2. Select your documents in the Library

Open Library and select the PDFs you want to include. For example, choose your readings on cell structure, membranes, and transport for a biology revision session.

3. Start a test from your selection

Choose Start Test after selecting your documents. Answer the multiple-choice and open questions in the resulting test. The test draws on the documents you selected.

4. Review results and plan another session

Use My Tests to revisit your test history and Progress to follow your scores over time. Return to your Library to practise a different selection of readings as your revision focus changes.

Relevant content from each PDF

Calten identifies and skips reference sections such as bibliographies, indexes, and author pages when generating questions. For the broader workflow and account benefits, see the free PDF quiz generator. Check any questionable AI-generated answer against your original reading.
