Compare the Preparation+ curated bank with generating exams from your own PDF. When to use each option in CraftQuestAI.

Preparation+ vs. AI Generation: Which One Do You Need?


Preparation+ offers curated question banks for a specific exam; AI generation creates questions from your own PDF, Word, or Excel. They don’t compete: they solve different needs, and Preparation+ isn’t included in the Pro or Tutor plans.

Use AI generation when…

  • The exam is your school midterm based on the class syllabus.
  • You’re a teacher and want to assess your own teaching unit.
  • You have your own notes or the teacher’s in PDF/.docx.
  • You need to customize the quantity and types of questions on the fly.

Use Preparation+ when…

  • You’re taking a standardized test (college entrance exam, civil service exam, certification).
  • You want mock exams aligned to the format and difficulty of the real test.
  • You don’t trust generic, unverified questions from the internet.
  • You accept it’s an additional purchase on top of the base plan.

You can combine both

Example: a civil service exam candidate who practices official mock exams with Preparation+ and, on weak topics, generates extra quizzes from their own notes PDF with the standard plan.
