Quiz maker Your questions, one clear paper

Start from questions you have checked

Start in the quiz mode when you want to arrange your own choice, true/false, fill-in and short-answer questions. Choose the learning goal first and use questions you have written or have permission to reuse. The mixed packet mode brings several supported activities together; it is useful for a review with an arithmetic warm-up, a spelling section and a short check.

Put one complete question on each line using the format shown above. The list can contain up to 200 nonempty lines and 60,000 characters. Prompts can contain up to 240 characters. Avoid the reserved vertical-bar and tilde separators inside ordinary text, and keep each question self-contained. An item that needs a long reading passage, image, equation editor or shared stimulus should be prepared in a more suitable format.

Match each type to a clear response

For a choice item, provide two to six different options separated by tildes and identify one correct letter from A to F. Make each distractor plausible without depending on ambiguous wording. A true/false item accepts the literal value true or false. The print labels follow the current page language.

A blank item uses exactly one double-bracketed answer within its prompt. A short-answer item requires a reference response plus scoring guidance. Keep those two fields distinct: the response illustrates an acceptable answer, while the guidance explains what earns credit. The software checks their presence and lengths, but cannot determine whether your criteria are fair or whether alternative explanations should be accepted.

Set points before you select a subset

Assign one to 100 whole points to each item. The total is calculated from the selected questions, not from the whole input pool. A request for four questions from a twelve-question list therefore produces the sum of those four items. No automatic scaling or conversion to percentages is applied.

You can preserve input order or use a seeded shuffled selection. Shuffling changes question selection and order; it does not shuffle the answer options or create several simultaneous exam versions. If you need a different paper, generate and save it as a separate set, keeping its matching key. Read every shortage and conflict warning, because omitted entries can change both coverage and total score.

Review the key as carefully as the student paper

Check a few details on every type: the intended choice letter still identifies the correct option, true/false uses your intended interpretation, and the marked gap removes only the text you wanted hidden. On short answers, read the reference and the scoring guidance together. Neither is an automated grading rule.

Use the numbered item editor to correct an individual prompt, its points or its supporting fields. A successful edit updates the reference and total together and creates a new revision. It cannot introduce an exact duplicate of another stored question. Subject knowledge remains your responsibility; use the preview to catch unclear negatives, unintentional clues and questions whose acceptable answers are broader than your key.

Balance paper economy with useful writing space

Request one, two, three, four, five or six questions per row and up to twelve rows. Compact spacing adds no extra height; normal adds eight millimetres per question; extra adds sixteen. Short-answer items already have three visible writing lines before that extra space is added. The writing gap grows with the answer and continues on extra lines when necessary.

The capacity planner reserves enough width for the longest item on either copy, including options, reference responses and scoring guidance. Long material can reduce effective columns without shrinking the text. Automatic pagination then places complete rows into the usable page height; it only moves to the next page when another whole row will not fit. Manual row choices are available when you need a deliberate shorter layout.

Keep a dependable copy for the next lesson

Choose student, answers or both, then match the A4 or Letter setting in your browser print dialog. The total shown in the repeated header is for the whole quiz. Compare version identifiers when you save the student paper and the teacher key separately, and inspect all pages before printing a class set.

Save locally for convenient reuse on the same browser, or download JSON to keep the exact input pool, selected questions, points, manual revisions and layout. Import validates the derived material before restoration. Local browser storage can be cleared, so a downloaded data file is useful for work you want to keep. This page does not offer cloud accounts, online student submissions or automatic grading.

Combine supported activities into a worksheet packet

Choose one of eight activities in packet mode, or select Add to practice packet in a source tool. When arriving from another page, restore the draft you want to continue and append the incoming activity. Existing sections remain in the packet.

The supported families are arithmetic, vertical math, missing letters, custom quizzes, fractions, number lines, word problems and clocks. A packet contains up to twenty sections and five hundred questions. Edit a question beside its preview; the source activity’s range, uniqueness and answer rules still apply. Successful edits update the answer key without replacing other questions. Compatible data files can also be imported; PDF and Word documents are not converted into questions.

Reorder sections while keeping their answers attached

Move a section up or down to change the lesson sequence, or remove a section that no longer serves the activity. Choose continuous question numbering across the packet, or restart numbering within each section. The teacher copy follows the same section order and numbering, so moving spelling before arithmetic does not leave the old numbers attached to the key.

Adding a section creates only that new set of questions. It does not generate the earlier sections again. Saved packets retain the actual selected problems and their references, including any edits made before import. After a reorder, review the section headings and first and last question in each part rather than relying on page numbers from an earlier printout.

Let short sections share the remaining page space

A new activity normally continues after the preceding section. It does not require a new sheet simply because its title or column count is different. Keep arithmetic compact with one to six questions across, use one to six columns for missing letters, and request one to six for quiz questions when the content fits. Longer quiz items may need fewer effective columns.

When a section must stand alone, turn on its start-new-page setting. Otherwise, complete rows continue into the available space and a section title stays with its first row. The next page starts only when a whole row cannot fit. Student and teacher content can take different amounts of space, so their page breaks may differ; section titles and question numbers provide the matching reference.

Save the packet you actually reviewed

Automatic drafts retain the packet, paper size, output choice and unfinished inputs for the next activity. Keep several named packets or download complete workspace data to continue elsewhere. Restoring or importing asks before replacing current work, and earlier packet files remain importable.

Print student pages, the teacher key or both from the same saved packet. When you choose both, keep the reference pages separate before handing out the activity. A packet groups supported exercises; it does not add automatic grading, infer a shared score for unrelated activities, or convert a scanned page into editable questions. Keep any marking instructions in the relevant quiz items and review their references before use.

Connect shaded fractions with positions and explanations

Start with a shaded-fraction section, add a number-line section using the same denominator, then include a short-answer question asking learners to explain the connection. Quick fraction settings use 24 mm bars and one to three wholes. Quick number-line settings use eight intervals from zero. For circles, rectangular grids, negative starting points, fraction calculations or a different answer format, prepare the source worksheet first and import its data.

Imported activities retain the exact selected questions, answers, diagram parts and jumps. Reordering, renaming or changing columns does not draw a fresh random set. Matching denominators helps you plan a connected lesson, but sections are not automatically paired to show identical values. If a question must compare one particular picture and one particular location, review those exact source questions before assembling the packet.

Each section keeps its own layout. Number-line sections can reduce the effective columns to protect tick spacing. Fraction sections reject a column setting that would squeeze the physical diagrams beyond their supported size. Keep the geometry readable and let automatic pagination fill the available height with complete rows. The answer copy may occupy more pages because its explanations take space; the section title and question number remain the reliable match.

The student copy preserves missing labels, equation gaps and unshaded areas where learners must respond. The teacher copy supplies the original fraction results, a reference shading pattern and a written number-line explanation. Shading can have several valid arrangements, so judge the number of equal parts rather than demanding the exact pictured positions. Mixed-number and original-partition answer requirements remain those chosen in the source worksheet.

The packet still allows up to twenty sections, five hundred questions and a two-megabyte data file. A number-line section contains at most twenty-four questions. If a finite source pool is smaller than the requested count, the section reports the actual count. Earlier three-family packets remain importable. Download the assembled data after review and use the browser print dialog to print or save a PDF.

Fit short arithmetic into five or six columns

Choose one to six columns when adding an arithmetic section, rearranging an existing section or importing a saved arithmetic worksheet. At five or six columns, the operands and operation occupy the first line; the equals sign and result occupy the second. This remains one arithmetic equation, not a stacked written-calculation exercise. The answer blank keeps its 12.7 mm width and the text uses 11 pt.

Each section keeps its own density. A six-column arithmetic warm-up can be followed by wider word practice, quiz questions, fractions or number lines. Complete rows share the remaining page space when they fit, while an explicit start-new-page choice still creates a section boundary. More columns therefore change the arrangement of the same questions rather than adding new questions to the lesson.

Check the width of missing-operand questions

Prepare missing-operand questions in Arithmetic, save their data and import the worksheet into the packet. The selected left, right or result blank stays in its original position. A long number beside a full writing blank may not fit six columns. In that case, the layout change is rejected with a message; the current packet remains intact. Try five columns or a wider layout before changing the source activity.

Moving sections, changing columns and switching between continuous and section numbering never draw a fresh set of questions. The student page retains the required blank and the teacher copy fills it from the same saved problem. Their displayed numbers follow the current section order. Save the reviewed packet to restore those actual questions later.
