QuizGPT Guide: Use ChatGPT’s New Interactive Quizzes

Introduction

Curious how to turn ChatGPT into a quiz machine? Think of QuizGPT like a friendly tutor that can pop quick interactive quizzes from any topic — no extra apps, no exports. In this guide you'll learn what QuizGPT does, how to trigger it, sample prompts, classroom-ready tips, troubleshooting for inconsistent access, and links to primary coverage and tools.

What is QuizGPT?

QuizGPT is an interactive quiz feature inside ChatGPT that lets you create conversational quizzes by ending a prompt with the phrase "use QuizGPT". It gives immediate right/wrong feedback, shows final scores, and offers options to retry incorrect answers, increase difficulty, or dive deeper into subtopics. Early reports documented the feature during a selective rollout; see the Resources section for coverage and examples.

Who benefits?

• Teachers creating quick formative assessments and warm-up activities
• Students practicing retrieval and self-testing
• Content creators building shareable quizzes for blogs and social media
• Trainers running informal knowledge checks during sessions

How to create a quiz in ChatGPT (step-by-step)

1. Open ChatGPT on the web or mobile app — no special teaching mode required.
2. Type a prompt that describes the topic, format, and difficulty. End the prompt with the phrase "use QuizGPT".
3. Send the prompt. ChatGPT will generate the quiz and present questions one at a time.
4. Answer each question; ChatGPT will immediately indicate whether you were right or wrong.
5. When the quiz finishes, review your score and use options like retry incorrect answers, make questions harder, or explore related subtopics.

Example prompt

Make a 5-question multiple-choice quiz about the water cycle, medium difficulty. Include answers and short explanations. use QuizGPT

Prompt examples and variations

• "Make a 10-question vocabulary quiz about SAT words, mix multiple-choice and short answer, use QuizGPT"
• "Create a quick true/false quiz about HTTP status codes, easy, use QuizGPT"
• "Turn these lecture notes into flashcard-style quiz questions: [paste notes], use QuizGPT"

Practical classroom uses

• Bell-ringer warm-ups: five-minute pop quizzes to focus students at the start of class
• Homework checks: students take short quizzes and submit screenshots or results
• Formative assessment: spot weak areas and auto-retry incorrect items
• Study sessions: scaffold practice by asking ChatGPT to "make harder" or provide explanations

Tips to get better quizzes

• Be explicit about format: state number of questions, types (MCQ, short answer, true/false), and difficulty.
• Ask for brief explanations for each correct answer to turn mistakes into learning moments.
• Use the retry or "make harder" options to create a learning ladder.
• Combine QuizGPT with ChatGPT's flashcard capability for spaced recall; see the Resources section for coverage.

Troubleshooting and access

If the phrase "use QuizGPT" doesn't trigger an interactive quiz, try these steps:

• Rollout state: the feature was observed as part of an A/B test and appears to be available more consistently to ChatGPT Plus subscribers.
• Update and relaunch: make sure the web or mobile app is up to date and you're logged in.
• Exact phrasing: ensure "use QuizGPT" is appended to the prompt.
• Account level: try from a Plus account or test on another device; many reports show Plus access during initial testing.
• Use alternatives while you wait: external quiz integrations or the app's flashcards can cover your needs.

Comparison: QuizGPT vs external quiz tools

Feature	QuizGPT	External Tools
Integration	Built directly into ChatGPT	Requires third-party apps or LMS plugins
Interactivity	Immediate in-chat feedback and score	Varies; some provide analytics and gradebooks
Access	Rolling A/B test, Plus-first in many reports	Often public with paid tiers for advanced features

Privacy, sharing, and best practices

Don't paste identifiable student data or confidential content into prompts. Treat QuizGPT like any cloud tool: anonymize sensitive information and review platform terms. Quizzes can be shared, but validate links and sanitize content before distributing publicly.

Future outlook

OpenAI commonly rolls out features quietly for testing. Early signs point to a phased rollout favoring Plus subscribers; if adoption and feedback are positive, expect broader availability and deeper education integrations.

Quick teacher checklist

1. Pick a clear learning objective.
2. Write a concise prompt specifying format and end with "use QuizGPT".
3. Run the quiz, preview answers, and tweak phrasing.
4. Share results with students or copy questions into your LMS.
5. Use retry and harder options for scaffolded practice.
