Quizfix vs Knowt: two ways to study your own notes

The short answer

Knowt is a study app that makes notes, flashcards and practice questions from your files, imports Quizlet sets, and offers Learn mode, a Practice Test Room, SAT and ACT mock exams and an assistant called Kai. Quizfix is narrower: it makes a practice test from your material, shows exactly what you missed, and turns those misses into spaced repetition cards up to your exam date. Pick Knowt for a wide all in one study space. Pick Quizfix for a short test, fix, repeat loop aimed at one exam, for free.

What Knowt does well

Makes notes, flashcards and more from PDFs, images, videos, PowerPoints and live recordings.
Imports Quizlet sets in a few clicks, and also imports from Kahoot and Wayground.

Where Quizfix is different

One main loop: take a test, see the exact misses, fix them in a Fix round.
The test leads. Cards are made from what you got wrong, not from the whole file.
An exam date sets Today's session, a short daily mix of due cards and weak topics.
Readiness shows how much of the material you know, from your real answers.
Quizfix is free, with no paid plan.

You want a daily plan that counts down to your own exam date.

Knowt and Quizfix look alike at first. Both take your own files and make study material from them. Both can bring in Quizlet sets. The difference is scope. Knowt is a wide study space with many tools. Quizfix does one loop: test, see what you missed, fix it, repeat until the exam.

How Knowt fits a study routine

With Knowt, you can upload up to 30 files at a time. It makes notes, flashcards and other material from them. Then you choose how to study. Learn mode and a spaced repetition mode are there. The Practice Test Room gives you many practice problems. For college entry tests, there are SAT and ACT mock exams.

Knowt also has Kai, a study helper that can quiz you on your material by voice. If you moved from Quizlet, the Quizlet import takes a few clicks. Knowt says its core study modes are free, and it lists paid plans for students and teachers. Check its site for the current details.

This suits students who want one home for all their classes. Notes, cards and tests live side by side. The trade off of a wide tool is choice. With many modes, you have to decide each day what to study and how.

How Quizfix fits a study routine

Quizfix makes that daily choice for you. You add your material: a PDF, slides, a Word file, photos of notes, a YouTube lecture or a web article. Quizfix makes a test with multiple choice, true or false and fill in the blank questions. Each answer says why.

After the test, you see your score and the exact questions you missed. The Fix round turns the misses into cards and drills them. Cards come back with spaced repetition. Set your exam date, and each day Today's session gives you due cards plus a few questions on weak topics. Readiness tells you how much you know now.

The reason for this design is research on testing. Roediger and Karpicke (2006) found that practice tests help long term memory more than rereading. Butler and Roediger (2008) found that feedback after a multiple choice test helps you keep the right answer. Quizfix shows why for every answer for that reason.

Moving from Quizlet

Both tools help here. In Quizfix, paste your Quizlet card list. A Quizlet export works as is. The Quizlet to practice test tool gives you a test from it right away. Our guide to turn Quizlet or Anki cards into a practice test has the steps.

You prep for the SAT or ACT: Knowt has mock exams for those.
You have a class exam on your own slides: make a test in Quizfix, then fix the misses.
