How Teachers Can Create Online Practice Tests

Practice tests help students prepare for exams and help teachers see which topics need more attention. This guide shows how to create an online practice test with Quizzez and share it with your class, plus honest notes about what the tool can and cannot do.

1. Plan the test around learning goals

List the three to five learning goals the test should cover, then write two to four questions per goal. This keeps the test balanced and makes it easy to see which goals students find hardest.

• Short check: 5–8 questions, about 5 minutes.
• Unit practice test: 15–25 questions, about 15–20 minutes.

2. Build the test in the quiz maker

Open the Quiz Maker, give the test a clear title (for example, "Year 8 Forces Practice Test") and choose a category. Pick Multiple Choice for most questions, or True / False for quick fact checks. Set the number of questions and fill them in. See how to create multiple choice questions for writing tips.

3. Choose the right feedback mode

• Standard mode (instant feedback off) mirrors a real exam. Students see results and explanations only after submitting.
• Instant feedback mode checks each answer immediately, which suits homework and early revision.
• Shuffle question order makes repeated attempts less predictable.

4. Share one link with your class

After pressing Create Quiz Now, choose Share Quiz and copy the link. The link contains the entire test, so students can open it in any modern browser without an account. Paste it into your class page, learning platform or messaging group. For very long tests, use Export JSON on the My Saved Quizzes page and share the file instead.

5. Use results to guide revision

Each student sees their own score and a full answer review on their device. Quizzez does not collect or send results to the teacher, so if you want a record, ask students to report their score or take a screenshot of the result screen. A quick show of hands on the most-missed questions also works well.

Quizzez is a practice tool, not a grading system. It has no student accounts, class rosters or teacher dashboard, and it does not store results on a server.

6. Edit and reuse your tests

Saved tests appear on the My Saved Quizzes page in the browser you used. Use Edit to fix typos or add questions, then share a fresh link. Export a JSON backup of important tests so you can import them on another computer.

Practice test ideas

• A weekly ten-question review of the previous week.
• A pre-test before a unit to see what students already know.
• A student-written test where groups create questions for each other.
