Bulk Import
Upload a Microsoft Word (.docx) file and EduQuest Pro automatically parses your questions — saving hours of manual data entry.
What gets imported?
Questions, answer options, correct answers, and numeric answer values — all parsed from your .docx automatically. Tags (Subject, Difficulty, etc.) can be applied in bulk after parsing.
Docx Format Guide
Your .docx file must follow the EduQuest Pro format for the parser to work correctly. Here is the expected structure:
questions_sample.docx — Expected Format
MCQ example:
Q1. What is the SI unit of electric current?
(A) Volt
(B) Ampere
(C) Ohm
(D) Watt
Numeric example:
Q2. Calculate the velocity (m/s) of an object with momentum 30 kg·m/s and mass 5 kg.
Answer: 6
True/False example:
Q3. The speed of light in vacuum is 3 × 10⁸ m/s.
Answer: True
Format Rules
- check_circle
Question numbering: Start each question with Q followed by a number and a period: "Q1.", "Q2.", etc.
- check_circle
MCQ options: List options with (A), (B), (C), (D). Bold the correct option — the parser detects bold as the answer.
- check_circle
Numeric answer: Write "Answer: <number>" on the line after the question.
- check_circle
True/False: Write "Answer: True" or "Answer: False".
- check_circle
Short answer: Write "Answer: <text>" — the parser treats non-numeric answers as short-answer questions.
- check_circle
Blank lines: Separate each question with at least one blank line for reliable parsing.
- check_circle
No images: Images in .docx are ignored — text-only questions are imported.
Step-by-Step Import
- 1
Prepare your .docx file
Format your questions following the guide above. Save the file as .docx (not .doc or .pdf).
- 2
Go to Import
Click Import in the sidebar. You land on the Bulk Import page.
- 3
Upload the file
Drag and drop your .docx into the upload area, or click Browse to select it from your file system. Files up to 10 MB are supported.
- 4
Start parsing
Click Parse File. The system reads your document and extracts questions. This usually takes 5–30 seconds depending on file size.
- 5
Review parsed questions
A list of detected questions appears. Review each one — see the next section for how to handle issues.
- 6
Apply tags in bulk (optional)
Use the Bulk Tag panel to apply a Subject, Difficulty, or other tag to all imported questions at once. You can override individual tags per question too.
- 7
Save to question bank
Click Save All Questions. All reviewed questions are added to your question bank. You can now use them in papers.
Reviewing Parsed Questions
After parsing, each question appears with a status indicator:
Ready
Question parsed correctly. No action needed — it will be saved as-is.
Review needed
Parser is not fully confident about the question type or answer. Click Edit to fix it manually.
Error
Parser could not understand this question. Review and either fix or skip it.
You can skip any question by unchecking it — it will not be saved to your bank. Only checked questions are saved.
Common Errors & Fixes
| Error | Likely cause | Fix |
|---|---|---|
| 0 questions parsed | File format not recognized | Check that questions start with Q1., Q2., etc. and the file is .docx not .doc |
| Answer not detected | Correct option not bolded | Bold the correct MCQ option in Word, then re-upload |
| Wrong question type | Ambiguous format | Edit the question manually after parsing to set the correct type |
| File too large | File exceeds 10 MB | Split the file into smaller batches or remove embedded images |
| Garbled text | File encoding issue | Resave the .docx from Microsoft Word (not Google Docs export) and try again |
