Let AI quiz you

Ask AI to question you one step at a time, harder each round, and you get a test that adapts to what you know.

A worksheet asks everyone the same questions. A chatbot can ask the next question based on your last answer: easier if you struggled, harder if you breezed through.

Set it up clearly. "Quiz me on [topic]. One question at a time. Wait for my answer. Tell me if I am right, explain briefly, then ask a slightly harder question if I was right or an easier one if I was wrong."

Ask for different kinds of questions: recall a fact, explain why, apply it to a new example, spot the mistake in a wrong answer. Each kind tests a different level of understanding.

At the end, ask for a short report: what you know well, what to review. Check any surprising "correct" answers yourself, since the quizmaster can occasionally be wrong.
