Quick answer
How does this quiz maker for teachers work?
Upload the slides, reading or worksheet you are teaching from, and QuerySpark drafts a quiz with an answer key and an explanation for every question in about a minute. Edit the draft, then assign it to a class (students join with a six-character code and you see each score), print it as a PDF or Word test, or export it as QTI or Moodle XML for your LMS. Teachers start with a 3-day trial, no card.
- Draft quiz with answer key in about a minute
- Classes with a six-character join code
- Per-student status and score on every assignment
- Print as PDF or Word, or export QTI and Moodle XML
How it works
How to make a quiz for students in four steps
From your slides to a marked assignment. Start by deciding what the quiz is for, because that sets its length.
- 01
Upload
Slides, a PDF chapter, a worksheet, or paste the text.
- 02
Review
Edit, reorder or delete questions. Pick the level.
- 03
Assign
Create a class, share the code, assign the set.
- 04
Track
See each student's progress on every assignment.
Exit ticket
3 to 5 questions on today's lesson. Multiple choice keeps it under five minutes and marks itself.
Check for understanding
About 10 questions mid-unit, mixing recall with one or two application questions.
Unit test
20 or more questions across the unit. Generate one set per section, then combine and trim.
Online, LMS or paper
How to make a test for students online
Assign it inside QuerySpark, push it to your LMS, or print it. Here is what changes with each route.
Inside QuerySpark: create a class, and students go to the join page and type your six-character code. Assign the set with an optional due date. Each student sees the test without the answer key, which stays on the server, so it cannot be read from the page. Multiple choice and true/false questions are marked the moment they submit.
Short answer and essay questions are better used for practice or printed tests: automatic marking only accepts an exact match to the key, so open responses need your judgement.
In your LMS: export QTI for Canvas, Blackboard or D2L, or Moodle XML for Moodle, and import it as a question bank. All four question types carry over.
| Assign in QuerySpark | Export to LMS | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| Marking | Automatic for multiple choice and true/false | Done by your LMS after import | By hand, or with your usual scanner |
| Students need | A free account and your join code | Their usual LMS login | A pen |
| You see | Status (not started, in progress, submitted, overdue) and score per student | Whatever your LMS gradebook shows | Only what you mark |
| Answer key | Kept on the server, never sent to students | Included in the export file | Separate copy with answers turned on |
| Best for | Homework, retrieval starters, revision | Graded quizzes that must live in the LMS | In-class tests, exams, no-device rooms |
What your students get
Every assignment is a full study set
Students practise with the same tools as everyone on QuerySpark. These screens are the real app.
In the classroom
How teachers use it
Short, regular retrieval practice fits into lessons you already run. A few of the ways teachers put it to work.
Do now and exit tickets
Five questions from yesterday's lesson to open class, or three from today's to close it.
Retrieval starters
Spaced questions from units taught weeks ago, so knowledge does not fade before the exam.
Homework that marks itself
Assign a set; students get instant feedback and you get the scores.
Exam revision
Turn a revision guide or past syllabus into practice tests students can repeat.
Differentiate by level
Generate the same material at two levels for mixed-ability groups.
Export to paper or your LMS
Download any set as PDF or Word for a printed quiz, or as QTI and Moodle XML to import into Canvas, Blackboard or Moodle.
Can AI create quizzes for teachers?
Yes, and it is fastest at the part teachers like least: turning a clear reading into a first batch of recall and comprehension questions. Where it needs you is judgement. It does not know which examples you used in class, which misconception your students keep repeating, or that you skipped section 4.
So treat the output as a draft. Before assigning, read each question once and ask three things: did I teach this, is it at the right level, and could a strong student argue for a second answer? Deleting two or three questions from a set of fifteen is normal. For more control over how questions are written, including Bloom's levels and difficulty, see the AI question generator for teachers.
Is there a free quiz maker for teachers?
QuerySpark is free to start: a 3-day trial of the Educator plan with no card, then a free plan with 20 generated questions a month, which covers a couple of short quizzes. Teachers who quiz every week usually need Educator at $24/month billed yearly (or $29 monthly), which removes the monthly caps.
If you would rather write every question yourself, free form builders such as Google Forms do the delivery and marking well. What QuerySpark adds is the writing step, from your own material, plus spaced practice for students afterwards. You can also try the free question generator on pasted text without an account.
Quality
Questions that are fair to students
A bad question costs you credibility with a class. Every question passes automatic checks before you see it.
- Most questions show the passage from your material they were written from
- Each question makes sense without the handout in front of the student
- Distractors are checked for duplicates, and correct answers are spread across A to D
- A mix of recall, application and analysis, at the level you choose
- Students see an explanation after answering, so feedback teaches

Teacher questions
Upload the slides, reading or worksheet you taught from, and QuerySpark drafts a quiz with an answer key in about a minute. Edit or delete any question, then assign it to a class or export it. A set is typically 10 to 20 questions; run it again on another section to make it longer.
Create a class, share its six-character join code, and assign the set with an optional due date. Students take it on any device, multiple choice and true/false answers are marked on the server, and you see each student's status and score. If your school runs Canvas, Blackboard, D2L or Moodle, export the test as QTI or Moodle XML instead.
Yes, as a first draft. AI is good at turning a clear reading into recall and comprehension questions quickly. You still need to check that each question matches what you actually taught, sits at the right level and has only one defensible answer, which is why every set opens in an editor before students see it.
Teachers start with a 3-day trial of the Educator plan, no card needed. After that the free plan allows 20 generated questions and 1 study session a month. Educator is $29 a month, or $24 a month billed yearly, with no monthly caps.
Yes. Export any set as PDF or Word. Turn answers off for the student copy and on for your answer key, and choose whether explanations are included.
Students create a free account with any email or Google sign-in, then join with your six-character code. There is no roster import to manage.
Yes. Every set opens in an editor first. Change wording, swap answers, delete questions or add your own, then assign it.
There is no direct Google Classroom integration. Many teachers post the class join link or code as a Classroom announcement, or export the quiz as PDF or Word and attach it there.
Study sets are private unless you publish them. We do not sell data or show ads. Student progress is visible only to the student and the teachers of classes they joined.
