How can I increase the number of questions to generate (MCQ) ?

How can I increase the number of questions to generate (MCQ)? Should I set maximum_question to 10-15?

Because it just generates 3 mcq_ questions (sometimes ONLY 1) from about 700 words paragraph.

So, If it is the actual code you're using to power your website then Why does your site questgen.ai/ generates about 10-15 questions with same paragraph but only 3 questions when generated with this provided code (programs)? Are there any anti-patterns between the website's backend generation and this repo?

We ran into the same issue in QuizWorld when generating MCQs from long passages. The simple fix that worked best for us was not just bumping a max_questions parameter, but making the pipeline two-stage: (1) extract topic-worthy facts / candidate answer spans from the source text, then (2) generate questions from that smaller set with an explicit target count and difficulty. That made the output much more stable than asking for 10-15 questions in one shot from a 700-word block.

If it helps, QuizWorld is open source and uses an LLM-first approach for URL/text -> quiz generation in a real-time multiplayer app:

• Live: https://quizworld.xyz

Happy to compare notes if you're thinking about improving the open-source generation path here.
