Why teachers reach for a test maker

Writing a fair quiz from scratch can eat up an evening, so a free online test maker for teachers works best when it starts from the lesson you already taught. Questions built from your own slides or notes match the vocabulary and examples your students saw in class.

  • Works from PDFs, DOCX, PPTX, plain text and photos of pages
  • Multiple-choice, true/false and short-answer question types
  • Each question includes an explanation for students to review
  • Free plan to start, with no credit card needed
Example 8th grade earth science quiz questions
Which layer of Earth is liquid and produces its magnetic field?The outer core, made of molten iron and nickel. Its convection currents generate the magnetic field.
True or false: most earthquakes happen along faults.True. Movement along faults releases stored energy as seismic waves.
What type of rock forms when magma or lava cools and hardens?Igneous rock. It forms as molten material crystallizes during cooling.
What causes the seasons on Earth?The tilt of Earth's axis, about 23.5 degrees. It changes how directly sunlight reaches each hemisphere through the year.

Add a unit handout, slide deck, lab notes or a photo of a textbook page.

Pick the question types

Select multiple-choice, true/false or short-answer, and set how many questions you need.

Review and share

Check each question and explanation, edit anything that does not fit your class, then send the quiz to students.

Good classroom questions test understanding, not just recall. A mix of multiple-choice items with plausible distractors, true/false statements that target common misconceptions, and a few short-answer prompts gives you a clearer picture of who needs review.

The free plan lets you generate and study in the browser, with 3 generations per month. Exporting to PDF or DOCX for printing or sharing requires Plus, and QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML export require Pro.

Frequently asked questions

How many questions should a classroom quiz have?

Many teachers plan around 10 to 20 questions for a 20 to 30 minute check, mixing recall items with a few that ask students to apply the idea. Match the count to the learning targets you covered rather than to a fixed number.

What makes a good multiple-choice question for a test?

It should have one clearly correct answer and wrong options that reflect common student mistakes, not obviously silly choices. Avoid answers like all of the above, and keep the answer options similar in length so the correct one does not stand out.

Can I export a test to Word or PDF on the free plan?

The free plan includes generations and studying in the browser, but not exports. PDF and DOCX export are included with Plus, which is $39/year or $7.99/month.

Do I need Pro to export for Moodle or QTI?

Yes, QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML export are part of the Pro plan at $14.99/month. Plus covers PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV export.
