Resources
A curated index of guides, study techniques, and big trivia sets — plus a jumping-off point to every quiz category.
This page is the index — the part of MojQuiz organised for reading rather than playing. The bulk of the site is the quiz player (13 categories, three difficulty levels each, fresh randomised rounds), but a handful of longer pieces sit alongside it: editorial guides on study and memory, comparisons of other quiz apps we use, walkthroughs for hosting a trivia night, and big consolidated trivia sets.
The sections below are grouped by intent. Featured guides are the pieces we'd hand someone first — they're the most-read on the site and the ones that most reliably change how people approach general knowledge. Trivia sets are three different 100-question collections, each compiled with a different angle (editorial baseline, search-demand-driven, current-affairs-forward), so picking one is mostly a question of which fits your purpose. Study and learning covers the science-backed techniques behind retention, brain-training routines, and the mechanics of a good quiz night. And browse by category links straight to each of the 13 quiz pools.
Everything here is free, takes no signup, and is updated when the underlying facts change — quarterly for the current-affairs set, annually for the rest. Our editorial standards page covers how questions are verified, how articles are researched, and our corrections workflow if you spot anything that's wrong.
Featured guides
The three pieces we point new readers to first. If you have an hour and want to come away with something concretely useful, start with the general-knowledge guide; it borrows from spaced practice and retrieval-practice research and turns the findings into a practical weekly routine.
- How to improve your general knowledge Fifteen practical methods to expand your knowledge base — habits, reading patterns, and small routines that compound over time.
- The science-backed benefits of quizzes What cognitive-science research says about why quizzing yourself is one of the most effective ways to learn and retain information.
- The 13 best quiz apps A comparison of the top quiz apps for learning, casual play, and brain training — what each one does well and who it's for.
- Best quiz apps for students Eleven quiz apps tested for real revision use — ranked on retention impact, free-tier depth, ad load, and active-recall support.
Trivia sets
Three 100-question collections, each compiled with a different editorial slant: a balanced reference list, a list driven by what people actually search for, and a refreshed-quarterly set weighted toward recent events. Pick by purpose — there's intentional overlap in popular questions, but the framing of each list is distinct.
- 100 trivia questions and answers A wide-ranging trivia set across difficulty levels and categories, with instant answers.
- 100 questions with answers A current collection of 100 questions across diverse topics with instant answers.
- 100 most-asked trivia questions The most popular trivia questions people search for, with verified answers and brief explanations.

Study and learning
Pieces that go a level deeper on the research. The study-techniques guide leans on the testing effect (Roediger and Karpicke, 2006) and spacing-effect work (Cepeda et al., 2008). The brain-training article picks apart what's actually been replicated versus marketing copy. And the hosting guide is the practical end: round structures, timing, scoring, the lot.
- How to study effectively Twelve science-backed study techniques shown to boost retention and academic performance.
- Multiple choice vs free recall: which tests teach more? What the research actually shows about test format and learning, and how to design self-tests that build retention rather than just measure it.
- The Method of Loci: how memory palaces work Why a 2,500-year-old memory technique still beats most modern alternatives, what fMRI studies of memory athletes reveal, and how to build a working palace in an evening.
- Brain-training exercises Ten cognitive exercises for memory, focus, and mental sharpness — easy to fit into a routine.
- Quiz night hosting guide A complete walkthrough for hosting trivia nights — round structures, timing, scoring, and category mix.
- The benefits of playing daily What a 5-minute daily quiz habit can do for memory, recall speed, and long-term knowledge.
Browse by quiz category
Each link goes to the category page, where you'll find eight sample questions to try, then three difficulty levels (easy, medium, hard) with 100 questions per pool. Every round is shuffled fresh, so playing the same difficulty twice never gives you the same ten questions in the same order.
- General Knowledge Test your overall knowledge across every topic.
- Current Affairs Recent world events, anchored to the year they happened.
- Competitive Exams UPSC, SSC, banking, and entrance-exam style questions.
- Daily Quiz A fresh 10-question mix, drawn new every round.
- Science Biology, chemistry, physics, and the natural world.
- History Ancient civilizations through to the modern era.
- Geography Countries, capitals, landforms, and physical geography.
- Sports Football, cricket, the Olympics, and beyond.
