Creating a quiz

Whether you're setting a quick exit ticket, a post-topic check or a more formal assessment, you can now generate tailored questions in minutes.

Written by Jimmy Joslin

By default, the quiz will be created in the subject and class you’re in.

  1. Go to the subject or class you want to create a quiz for. Click the Create button.

  2. Select the Quiz option from the drop-down menu.

Choosing a quiz type (beta)

Once you’ve clicked the Quiz option, choose the quiz type. The type sets how your students complete the quiz, so pick the one that matches why you’re setting it:

  • Pre-check (coming soon) checks the skills students need before you start a new unit or topic, so you can see where the gaps are and plan what to reteach first.

  • Practice helps students learn as they go. They get instant AI feedback, can make multiple attempts and see their marks straight away. There’s no time limit. Practice keeps the quiz experience your students already know.

  • Test measures what students have learnt under test conditions. Students get one attempt and a time limit (45 minutes by default). They won’t see feedback or marks during the quiz, and copy and paste is turned off. Students can move back and forth between questions and change their answers before they submit. Their results appear once they submit.

Please note: In a Test quiz, the time limit is the only setting you can change. Short and extended response answers are marked by AI when the student submits. Any answer that can’t be marked shows as unmarked in the Mark Book.

Choosing your question source

Next, choose where your questions come from:

  • Create with AI to generate a new set of curriculum-aligned questions.

  • Atomi content to use existing Atomi questions.

2. Select the question types that you want to include in the custom quiz.

3. Specify the number of questions to be generated.
