The VisualNote AI test editor after a teacher pasted their water cycle lecture notes into the assistant: the notes in the thread on the right, the grade 5 test written from them on the page

What comes out of the printer

This is the test. Not a preview of it.

A grade 5 water cycle test, generated from a page of pasted lecture notes. Left, the sheet the class gets. Right, the key the teacher keeps.

  • A real A4 or Letter page with name, class, date and score fields at the top.
  • The answer key is the same document with the answers filled in red and the points totalled. It cannot disagree with the test.
  • Pages fill on their own. A table is never cut in half.
  • What you see on screen is what the printer gives you, page for page.

What you bring, what you get

You bring

  • Your lecture notes, pasted into the assistant
  • The lesson or the chapter as a PDF or a text file
  • The grade, how many questions and which types
  • Or just a topic: the assistant asks for what it needs

Pasted notes go in the message, up to about 4,000 characters. Attach the file when the lesson is longer, and then every question must come from it.

You get

  • A printable test

    Real pages, numbered questions, writing space that matches the question. Points shown when you want them.

  • The answer key, for free

    Derived from the answers inside the questions, so it is never out of date and never a second document to maintain.

  • PDF and Word

    Student copy, answer key, or both in one file. Word keeps the layout, with tracing lines and arithmetic grids simplified.

  • An assistant that edits

    Ask for a harder question 4, a word bank on question 6 or a section title. Every change is one undo step.

  • A drawn copy for younger classes

    Press Draw it for the children and the same questions come back as a hand drawn page, in a style you pick.

Eleven question types, one page.

Pick a card and the question is added after the one you selected, with its form open. Section titles and instruction blocks sit between them. Rows can hold two or three questions side by side, the way worksheets for young children are laid out.

Say what you want changed. Watch it change.

The assistant sits beside the page. Ask it to add three questions on the treaty, turn question 2 into true or false, or make the whole test easier for grade 6. It edits the questions in place, leaves a receipt under its reply saying what it touched, and one reply is one undo step. When your request is too thin it asks first, with a proposal you accept in one click, rather than guessing a grade or a length.

The same test, drawn for the children who read slowly.

One button turns the page you are looking at into a hand drawn sheet in a style you choose: the questions in place, the blanks left blank. Each page costs one drawing from your monthly visuals. Read it before you hand it out: a drawing can occasionally add or mark an answer, so the exact copy is always the PDF.

FAQ

How does the AI test generator work?

You write one message to the assistant: what the test is about, the grade and how many questions, with your notes pasted in or the lesson attached. It drafts the questions onto a real A4 or Letter page, with the answer stored inside each one. From there you edit on the page or in words, then download PDF or Word with the answer key.

Can it make a test from my lecture notes?

Yes. Paste the notes into the message, up to about 4,000 characters, and ask for the test you want. For a longer lesson attach it as a PDF or a text file: then every question must be answerable from that file alone, and one it does not support is dropped rather than invented.

How long does it take?

About a minute for a ten question test. The questions appear on the page as they are written, so you can start reading the first while the last is still coming. When the request is too thin the assistant asks first, with a proposal you accept in one click, instead of guessing a grade or a length.

What kinds of questions does it write?

Any of the eleven types on the page: multiple choice, true or false, checkboxes, fill in the blank, short answer, open answer, matching, ordering, table fill, column math and tracing. Say which you want, or let the assistant mix them to suit the grade.

Is the AI test generator free?

Generating is free: 3 tests kept, 10 assistant replies a day, one PDF upload, and the whole test with its key visible on screen. The download is paid: Plus at $13.99 a month downloads without limit, or unlock one test forever for $4.99, PDF and Word, both copies, through every later edit.
