How to turn a YouTube course into practice quizzes
A playlist can explain a topic well without showing you which parts you can apply on your own. A practice quiz gives you a way to check: answer a question, review the explanation, and return to the relevant lesson when you need more context.
This guide explains the Oxally workflow for studying several YouTube lessons together. You can try the public examples below without an account. Creating your own quizzes requires the extension, an account, and sufficient Token balance.
Try a finished quiz first
These are interactive web pages, not downloadable worksheets. Open an example, answer a few questions, and explore the feedback and source-video references.
Python programming
Practice core concepts from a programming course, then use the video references to revisit the explanations.
Open the quiz →8th grade math
Work through questions on exponents and repeating decimals across a twelve-lesson course.
Open the quiz →Spanish listening
Try story-based listening questions with practice audio and English feedback.
Open the quiz →1. Keep a course together in one project
Install Oxally, sign in, and choose a project for the course. Open each lesson on YouTube and generate its transcript. Available captions can be imported; when captions are unavailable, AI audio transcription is another option. Keeping related lessons in the same project makes it easier to choose the material for a combined quiz.
Before asking for questions, check that the lessons you want appear in the selected project and that their transcripts are ready. If a transcript misses a technical term or formula, compare it with the video rather than assuming the text is exact.
2. Ask AI Tutor for an online quiz with a clear scope
You can practice one lesson or combine several. Specify which lessons to include and the language you want for the page. For example:
Create a new online practice quiz covering lessons 1–4 in the current project. Use English for the title, questions, answer choices, explanations, and feedback. Include source-video timestamps for concept review. Keep my existing quizzes unchanged.
There is no single question type that fits every course. A programming lesson may call for reasoning about code, while a history lesson may call for comparing causes or interpreting evidence. Mention any format you prefer, but leave room for questions that fit the material.
3. Use feedback to decide what to revisit
Open the finished quiz link and work through the questions. Read the explanation after checking an answer, including when you guessed correctly. If the reasoning is unclear, follow the timestamp to review the underlying concept in the original video.
AI-generated questions and grading can contain mistakes. Check disputed answers against the source material, and do not treat a course quiz as professional advice or an official certification exam.
4. Build on your answers in the next comprehensive quiz
After studying more lessons, request another comprehensive quiz. When relevant answer history is available, questions answered correctly can become clearly tagged variants that test deeper understanding or application. Incorrect, unanswered, and partially correct questions return for focused review.
A variant is not necessarily the same question with different numbers. For example, after sorting a list of numbers correctly, a later programming question might ask you to sort student records while keeping names attached to scores. Its video reference points to the underlying method, not necessarily an identical worked solution.
Share a quiz, or keep studying on your own
Published quizzes have standalone links that others can open without the extension or an account. Treat a shared link as public to anyone who receives it, and avoid including private or sensitive information. You can also use transcripts, summaries, and AI Tutor to organize notes and ask follow-up questions before your next practice session.
Start with a small set of lessons so you can inspect the result before expanding to a longer course. Creating quizzes uses Token; the available allowance and paid options are shown on the product page.
