Title — Algebra Chapter 1 — Practice Quiz.
Description (optional) — what it covers and any instructions. Students see it before starting.
Time limit (optional) — in minutes, from 1 to 360. Leave it blank for untimed. Set one for a mock exam; leave it off for practice, where a clock just adds stress without adding information.
Pass score — a percentage from 0 to 100. Decides the pass/fail split in your results and what the student sees. 50 is a common default; set it to match what passing actually means in your subject.
Lesson (optional) — files the quiz with the right topic. Worth doing.
Session (optional) — ties it to a specific class meeting.
Active — an inactive quiz is invisible to students. Leave it off while you're writing the questions.
Writing questions
Each question has:
Question text — the question itself.
Image (optional) — a URL to a diagram, graph or figure. Essential for maths, science and geography, where the question often is the diagram.
Four options — A, B, C, D. Click the radio beside one to mark it correct.
Points — how much the question is worth. Default 1.
How scoring works
Final score = (points earned ÷ total points) × 100.
So points are weights, not marks out of anything fixed. A 5-point question matters five times as much as a 1-point one, and the student still sees a percentage.
Leave everything at 1 point if all questions are equal — the arithmetic works out the same. Raise the points on questions that carry real weight, like a multi-step problem among recall questions.
Reordering
Questions can be reordered after you write them. Write them in whatever order they come, then arrange: easier questions first tends to produce a truer picture of what students know, since a hard opener makes weaker students give up.
Publishing
Switch Active on when the questions are done. Students enrolled in the class — and covered for the quiz's month — can then take it.
Quizzes follow the same month rule as materials. A quiz filed under August needs August's fee.
Free plan limit
Free allows 3 quizzes per class. The New Quiz button is replaced by a notice at the limit.
Every Pro and Pro+ feature is currently free for all teachers under the launch offer, so the cap isn't being enforced today.
Writing better multiple choice
Make the wrong answers plausible. Three obviously silly options mean the question tests nothing. The best distractors are the actual mistakes your students make — a sign error, a unit confusion.
Keep options the same length. A long, careful option among three short ones gets picked because it looks like the careful answer.
Avoid "all of the above". It rewards partial knowledge more than it should.
One idea per question. If a student gets it wrong, you want to know which thing they didn't know.
With quiz analytics you can see which distractors students actually chose — that's where you find out whether a question is testing anything.
