How to Bulk Import Questions From Word
With ProProfs Quiz Maker, you can bulk upload questions using Microsoft Word documents or ProProfs AI, depending on how your content is prepared.
If your questions are already structured in a Word file, you can import them directly into your quiz using the Word import feature.
