Multiple choice test generator

Multiple choice, minus the writing.

Tell it the topic and the grade. It writes the questions and the options, marks the right one on the key, and you fix any you would have worded differently, on the page or by chat.

What comes out of the printer

This is the test. Not a preview of it.

A grade 7 photosynthesis test, ten multiple choice questions written from the lesson PDF. Left, the sheet with empty circles. Right, the key with the right option filled in.

  • 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.

  1. The assistant drafting a multiple choice test from one sentence, the questions appearing on the page as it writes

    One sentence: the topic, the grade, how many questions. The options are written with them.

  2. A ten question multiple choice test on an A4 page in the editor

    Every question is a block on a real page. Click one to edit its options or its answer.

  3. The answer key view of a test in the editor, with the correct option filled in red on every question

    Flip to the answer key: the right option is filled in red, the points totalled.

  4. The Download menu: PDF or Word, student copy, answer key or both in one file

    Download the test and its key as PDF or Word.

What you bring, what you get

You bring

  • The topic and the grade
  • How many questions, and how many options each
  • Optionally the lesson or chapter as a PDF, so the questions come from it
  • Or an old multiple choice test, as a photo or PDF, to rebuild

Multiple choice is one of eleven types. Mix in true or false, checkboxes for questions with several right answers, or a matching block, on the same page.

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    Derived from the answers inside the questions, so it is never out of date and never a second document to maintain.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 Download menu of the test editor: PDF or Word, student copy, answer key or both

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 multiple choice test generator work?

You write one message: the topic, the grade and how many questions. The assistant drafts each question with its options onto a real page and stores which option is right. You then click any question to change its wording, its options or its answer, or ask the assistant for the change in words.

How is the correct answer marked?

On the student copy every option has an empty circle. On the answer key the right circle is filled in red, and the points are totalled at the top. The key is derived from the answer stored in each question, so it can never show a different answer from the one you set.

Can a question have more than one right answer?

Yes. Use the checkboxes type: several options can be correct, and the sheet prints boxes instead of circles so students know to pick more than one. True or false is its own type too.

Can I generate the questions from my own material?

Yes. Attach the lesson as a PDF, a text file or a paste. Every question must be answerable from that material alone, and a question it does not support is dropped rather than invented.

Is it free?

Building 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.
