Why a test maker app helps with quiz prep

Writing a fresh quiz after every unit takes up evenings, so a test maker app for teachers that starts from your own slides and notes can give you a working draft to edit.

  • Multiple-choice, true/false and short-answer question formats
  • Explanations attached to each question for answer-key review
  • PDF and DOCX export on Plus; QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML on Pro
  • Works from PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text and photos of pages
Example test questions teachers can adapt
What is the difference between formative and summative assessment?Formative checks learning during instruction to guide teaching, while summative measures learning at the end of a unit, such as a final test. Formative results are used to adjust lessons, not to grade.
Why should a multiple-choice distractor be plausible?Plausible distractors reveal specific misconceptions, while obviously wrong options let students guess without knowing the material.
True or false: Asking students to recall a definition word for word measures higher-order thinking.False. Recall targets lower levels of Bloom's taxonomy, while application and analysis items require students to use knowledge in new situations.
What makes a short-answer question easier to score consistently?A model answer with a scoring rubric that lists the acceptable key points. It reduces variation between graders and between students' answers.
Why should a true/false statement cover only one idea?A compound statement makes it unclear which part is being judged, so a student can be marked wrong for the part they actually knew.

Three question types

Multiple-choice, true/false and short-answer questions, each with an explanation for the answer key.

Built from your material

Upload PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text or photos of pages, and the questions come from your own content.

Export where you need it

PDF and DOCX export on Plus. QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML export on Pro for learning management systems.

How it works

Upload your material

Add a PDF, slide deck, document, text file or a photo of a printed page.

Choose question types

Pick multiple-choice, true/false or short answer, then generate the quiz.

Review and export

Check each question and its explanation, then export to PDF or DOCX, or to QTI and Moodle XML on Pro.

Each generated question comes with an explanation, which makes it quicker to check the answer key and gives students feedback on their mistakes. Because the questions are drawn from what you taught, the wording and difficulty stay close to your class.

Free accounts can generate a few quizzes per month and study in the browser without exports. File exports start on Plus, and QTI and Moodle XML exports are included on Pro.

Frequently asked questions

How many questions should a classroom quiz have?

A quick check for understanding often works with five to ten questions, while a unit test needs more items to cover the material. Match the length to how much class time your students have.

What makes a good multiple-choice distractor?

Plausible wrong answers based on common misconceptions work better than obvious ones, because they reveal what a student actually misunderstands.

Can I export a quiz to my learning management system?

Pro includes QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML export for importing into compatible systems. PDF and DOCX exports are included on Plus.

Is there a free plan for teachers?

The free plan includes 5 generations a week and studying in the browser, with no exports and no credit card needed to start. Plus is $99.90/year or $9.99/month and adds unlimited generations and exports.
