In reply to Max. You can probably do it on a microsoft form, set the starting and ending time and date, or change it on the fly!

Hi, I was wondering if during your research you came across a quizzing system that allows algorithms? For example, an original question could be “How many grams of A are needed to make a 1.23 M solution of B?” (where 1.23 M is a variable that adjusts/calculates a new answer (in grams))?

Thanks in advance!

You have a lot of great options on your list. I wanted to let you know about one more – HelpTeaching.com has an online test maker. Teachers can make tests with a free account and administer tests online with a paid subscription. We also have a question bank of 200,000+ questions that is searchable by keyword, subject, and grade-level, if teachers don’t want to add their own questions.

Thanks Scott for your very informative list of online quiz makers. I currently use makeanexam to make quizzes from my study notes.

I really like iSpring QuizMaker, because I can check students’ progress with different types of questions – from true/false to drag and drop and audio questions. It is also easy to control their results just via email. This tool simplified my work a lot. BTW, they have discounts for academics. 🙂

In reply to Douwe Fennema. Try Quiz Creator by PC Shareware. It's a one-time cost of 29.95 and creates very professional quality html quizzes (both multiple choice and short answer question types) and it's a VERY easy program to use.

I am trying to make an interactive quiz like avant listening and speaking where they listen and then choose the correct answer. For speaking they will listen to directions and record their answer. Is there a program that I can use for that?

In reply to Kelada Ingrid. I guess many quiz makers can make quizzes with timer. I'm using iSpring QuizMaker and you can set limits to time and number of attempts. Hope it helps!

In reply to Tom. IT IS NOT FREE!!!! I tested ClassMarker, very good platform with a lot of instruments BUT it is free for educators only for one month. I was so frustrated to create tests based on theirs promises and to throw away everything after one month.

Hot Potatoes looks great, but I could not use it on my Chromebook.

Just FYI – http://www.poll-maker.com/QuizMaker redirects to https://www.quiz-maker.com/

Quiz-Maker.com has a free version but to take full advantage of all features they have three pricing tiers – $15/month and $29/month are the “normal person” plans. 😉 However, those are “sale” prices. “50% OFF Forever and First 30 Days Free – Sale Ends Soon”.

The 30-day free trial is nice. I’m trying the “standard plan” ($15/month). So far it looks like a good value.

Hi
Thank you for this comparison. I’ve been using proprof for years, but I’m seriously looking at alternatives because it’s getting buggier and the quizzes cannot be done on mobile devices. It is really simple to create quizzes and it has lots of different templates. Unfortunately, they don’t seem to be keeping up with the times.
Let me know if there are good quiz maker for students doing online assessment and auto-grading. Thank you.

Thank you for your posting. I try to use some of the software for my class, and I am doing a research about the software. If you don’t mind, could you tell me when you post the 18 top quiz makers for teachers and educators? I am writing the report but I could not find the time you post the article.

Thanks for this great list! I work as a teacher and I have gone through different test-making tools (getting a bit weary) but can’t seem to find one that has both of these features:
– Possibility to CHOOSE if you want auto-correct or not per question (very important – why is this so rare…?? there should be an option for the teacher to grade some questions manually and some automatically… not all questions are fit for automatic grading!).
– Fill-the-blanks question types (i.e. where you don’t have to make an X or a set of underscores______ in the question)

Do you know if there’s a tool that provides both?

Hello, I am a business psychologist,

I want to use a countdown timer (90 minutes) for an online simulation. In a nutshell, they press START, they see a 20-page document for 90 minutes, then it disappears when the time is up.

Can you do this? Thanks!

Can any of these programs display multiple questions on a page or slide? Looking to display a host of math problems on a page and then display/calculate accuracy.

Hello Scott.

Great list of comparison. As a teacher physics and biology I am always interested in innovating material to help my students. For a long time I have been looking for a program that has a login and remembers the last visited page my students have visited, so next time they log in they can start from that particular page/question. (I make a ton of pages with info and questions which, if answered correct link to the next pages (in PowerPoint) However still haven’t found such. (hot potatoes does something like that, but I don’t fancy the general looks of the program.) Do you have a suggestion?

Kind regards, Douwe

Do I post articles and quizzes in single website or shall I use sub-domain for the quizzes. Which would be better for long terms?

Hey I am looking to do quick survey type. There are correct answers to some questions but I want timed questions and they can’t go back and change an answer. Once they start they have a overall quiz timer. I need logic branching. This is for a psychology class.

In reply to Sally O’Connor.

Hi Sally, I run a company called Synap which does exactly what you’re looking for! It’s free to use (with some premium options for intensive use), and lets students/teachers create practice and share quizzes! Feel free to check it out at https://synap.ac and get in touch with us via the on-site chat if you have any questions 🙂

In reply to Scott Winstead. We wasted a lot of time using Articulate which charged a lot for support and relegated you to online blogs to find answers. Even when we paid for support, their teams often could not solve the problem. We gave up on them and hours of recorded classes went to the trash.

Hi,

Thanks for the article, Great comparison.

I just wanted to note for ClassMarker, there is Education pricing (not just free usage) which is 50% off Business pricing and comes with ‘all’ features included.

Users can also purchase Credits packs alongside or as an alternative to their Professional plans.

Business: $39.95/$79.95
Education: Free/$19.95/$39.95
Multiple Credit packs are available.

Hello,
I am on the hunt for the perfect software to generate trackable quizzes that can be overlaid on my training videos. I would like to go into greater detail through conversation with you if possible. Please contact me at your convenience. Thank you in advance.

In reply to Andy. Andy, it’s a tricky one. In fact, nobody knows. Security has always been considered an issue with cloud services, but it’s a risk you have to take. On the one hand, Internet companies are notorious Peeping Toms. On the other hand, I heard about scammers trying to phish user data from Google Docs and Google Forms a few years back, but I’m sure Google has enough resources to tackle such attempts promptly.

Hi Scott,

Googleforms & Flubaroo looks good for our company use.
We need it for quick quizzes 15 questions.

One question:
Are participant emails addresses tracked or used by Google or any third party for marketing or user profiling?

By: Scott Winstead

Scott Winstead — Sat, 18 Feb 2017 10:09:23 +0000

In reply to Sally O’Connor. Sally, I believe in this case you’re after comprehensive solutions like Articulate. ProProfs should also suit your purposes. Generally, you’re looking for software bundled with a cloud service where the test is stored so the learner gets the results right away. A greater variety of question types would be another benefit in your case.

Scott, thanks for the article! I have a very specific query. Hopefully you can help me out. I was looking for a tool that would assist in students’ self-assessment for self-study assignments. Any suggestions?
