Build a test from your own material instead of a generic bank

Writing a fresh quiz after every unit eats into planning time, which is why many teachers try a free online test maker for teachers before paying for anything. The useful test is the one that matches what you covered in class, so starting from your own slides and handouts matters more than a generic question bank.

  • Questions come from the material you upload, so they match what you taught.
  • Each question includes an explanation for students who answer incorrectly.
  • Start free with 3 generations a month and no credit card.
  • Exports to PDF or DOCX need Plus, and Moodle XML or QTI 2.1 need Pro.
Example quiz design questions for teachers
Should a true/false statement include absolute words like always or never?Usually no, because students learn to spot those words as false, so the question tests test-taking habits rather than knowledge.
What is a distractor in a multiple-choice question?A distractor is a plausible wrong answer based on a common misconception, which makes the question reveal understanding rather than guessing.
Why should you use an all of the above option sparingly?Students who spot two correct options can choose it without knowing the third, which weakens what the question measures.
How does Bloom's taxonomy help when writing test questions?It lets you match each question to a level such as recall, application or analysis, so the test measures the objective you taught.
What is the difference between formative and summative assessment?Formative checks guide teaching during learning, while summative assessment grades learning at the end of a unit.

Frequently asked questions

What makes a good multiple-choice distractor?

A good distractor is a wrong answer that matches a common student misconception, so choosing it reveals a specific gap. Avoid options that are obviously absurd or that give away the answer through length or wording.

How long should a classroom quiz be?

Match the length to the time you have, leaving room for students to read each question and think it through. Short quizzes that target one learning objective usually give clearer results than long mixed ones.
