MCQs deserve a proper review screen.
Review multiple-choice questions in Anki with a clean, exam-style interface. Instantly see what you chose, what was correct, and why — without clutter.
Why this add-on?
Standard Anki cards are great for recall, but MCQs need a different kind of feedback:
• Was my answer correct or incorrect? • Which options were correct? • Did I miss something, or choose too much?
This add-on turns MCQ review into a focused, exam-like experience.
Key features
• Supports single-choice and multiple-choice questions • Clear visual separation of: 👤 Your answer 🎯 Correct answer • Row-level color coding: 🟩 Correct selection 🟥 Incorrect or missed option • In single-choice mode, unnecessary columns are automatically hidden • Optional explanation field, shown exactly where you want it • No redundant “Correct answers: …” text — only what matters
How it looks during review
• Select your answer(s) on the front side • Flip the card • Instantly understand: – what you chose – what was correct – where you made a mistake
Builder integration
• Open via editor toolbar or Tools menu • Works from Add/Edit window and Browser • Automatically creates and manages a dedicated note type: MCQ (Addon)
Note type fields
• Question • Choice1 – Choice6 • Correct (comma-separated indices, e.g. 2,3) • Mode (single or multi) • Explanation (optional)
Smart state handling
• Your selections are stored only temporarily • Optionally cleared automatically after reviewing the answer • Prevents accidental reuse of old answers in later reviews
Configuration
You can customize behavior via “Tool → Add-on → MCQ Generator”:
• Force template updates (for development) • Control explanation placement • Clear selection state after review (recommended)
Changes take effect after restarting Anki.
