Practice Test & Exam Question Generator
Builds a custom practice test on any topic, matching the format and difficulty of your real exam, complete with an answer key and explanations.
Students who want realistic exam practice that mirrors their actual test format and difficulty, with explanations to learn from mistakes.
Create a practice test on {{topic}} for a {{grade_level}} student. The real exam format is {{exam_format}} (e.g., 20 multiple choice, 5 short answer, 2 essay questions).
Requirements:
1. Match the question count and format described in exam_format as closely as possible.
2. Vary difficulty: roughly 40% easier recall questions, 40% medium application questions, 20% harder analysis/synthesis questions.
3. For multiple choice, include 4 answer options with only one clearly correct answer, avoiding trick wording.
4. Provide a complete answer key at the end.
5. For each answer, add a one-sentence explanation of why it's correct, so I can learn from mistakes, not just check them.How to use
- Describe your exam_format as precisely as possible so the practice test mirrors the real thing.
- Take the test without looking at the answer key first, then check your work.
- Review the explanations for any question you got wrong before moving to the next practice round.
