Steps

Step 1: Prepare your file

To create a Quizlet quiz by importing content, you can use several file types. For example, Word, Excel, or even a plain text file. Regardless of the file type, you have to follow Quizlet’s instructions to format it properly.

The easiest way to prepare your file for Quizlet

As specific as Quizlet’s instructions are, it may take you some time to get used to the formatting. In fact, you may feel like you’re creating your assessment from scratch. Now, that’s fine for a one-off quiz, but if you need to do it for multiple quizzes, the task may end up getting tedious.

Well, here’s the good news. You can completely skip this manual process, no matter the question type.

If you use Monsha’s Quiz Questions Generator or Reading Comprehension Question Generator to create your questions, you’ll get instant access to a Quizlet-ready plain text file. It’s plain like that!

By the way, this feature isn’t limited to Quizlet only. Your questions will also be automatically compatible with platforms like Kahoot!, Quizizz, or Socrative. All you have to do is export your file based on your need.

Step 2: Start the import process

After logging into your Quizlet account, create a new quiz and select the Import option.

Step 3: Copy-paste your content

  1. Copy the content of the file you’ve prepared or the one you’ve exported from Monsha. Then paste the content into the Import field.
  2. Below the "Between term and definition" part, select custom and type "Answer: "
  3. Below the "Between cards" part, select custom and type a hashtag "# ".
