A test maker built from the unit you taught
Upload the material for the unit and StudyPDF drafts a test from it: sections, a mix of question types, an optional timer, and a citation on every question. Review it in the editor, then share it with the class for a graded report per student, or export it to PDF with the answer key on its own page.
- Sectioned test drafted from your own material
- Multiple choice, short answer, matching, fill-in-the-blank, true or false
- Optional timer and no feedback until submit, like the real thing
- Graded report per student and per concept
- Print as a worksheet with the answer key on its own page
What a test maker for teachers should actually do
A test is different from a quiz. It has sections, it is usually timed, students do not see feedback until they submit, and you need a clean printout with an answer key. Most online test makers give you a form builder and leave the hard part, the writing, to you. StudyPDF drafts the test from the material you taught. You upload the slides and readings for the unit, set the sections and the difficulty, and get a draft where every question cites the page it came from. Checking it is fast because the source is one click away.

How to make a test for your class
Four steps from your unit to a test you can run online or on paper.
Upload the unit
Add the slides, handouts, readings and any recorded lesson. StudyPDF breaks the material into topics and concepts, and you can merge, rename or remove them so the structure matches how you teach.
Draft the test
Choose the topics, the number of questions per section, the difficulty and whether it is timed. StudyPDF drafts the test from your material, each question citing its page.
Review and edit
Open the draft in the review editor. Change a question, swap a distractor, ask for an alternative or add one. AI suggestions show before and after and are applied only when you confirm.
Run it or print it
Share it with the class for an online sitting with a graded report per student, or export to PDF as a worksheet with the answer key on its own page.
Practice tests that match the real one
The best use of a test maker is often the practice test the week before. Students sit it under the same conditions as the real thing, sections and timer included, and get a graded report that shows which sections and which concepts cost them marks. You see the same report for the whole class. Because the practice test is tagged to the concepts in your unit, the follow-up is built in. A student can ask Bo what to focus on and get a short quiz on exactly the concepts they missed.
Paper when you need paper
Not every test runs on a laptop. Export the test as a PDF worksheet with the answer key on its own page and photocopy it. Or export to Word and adjust the layout for your department template. Flashcards on the same material export as a fold-over print sheet for revision. The online version stays available for students who want to practice again at home, free on web and mobile.
What you get
A real test, not a quiz with a timer bolted on.
- Sections and an optional timer, no feedback until submit
- Questions drafted from your own material with page citations
- Short answers self-graded against a model answer
- Graded report per student with per-section and per-concept results
- Review editor where nothing changes without your confirmation
- PDF export with the answer key on its own page, plus Word export
Start with the next unit test
Upload the unit, draft a test with two or three sections, review it in the editor and you are ready to run it online or print it. The same upload gives you a weekly quiz, flashcards and a study guide for revision. Teacher plans start at $14.99 a month and scale with how many classes you run and how many students are in each one. Teacher Light comes with 14 days free; you add a card to start it and can cancel any time. Lecturers can use the same flow for a course; see StudyPDF for professors.
Built for teachers, free for students
Upload the course once, review the drafts, run the test online or print it. Plans from $14.99 a month, 14 days free on Teacher Light.
Questions, answered.
Teacher Light comes with a 14-day free trial. You add a card to start it, nothing is charged until the trial ends, and you can cancel before that. Teacher and Professor are paid from the first day. Students never pay on any plan. The trial is long enough to build and run a full unit test with a class.
A quiz gives instant feedback after every question and is meant for practice. A test has sections, an optional timer and no feedback until submit, then a graded report with per-section and per-concept results. Both are drafted from your material and reviewed in the same editor.
Yes. Export to PDF as a blank worksheet with the answer key on its own page, or with solutions inline. Word export is also available if you want to change the layout.
Short answers are self-graded against a model answer drawn from your material: after submitting, the student compares their answer with the model answer and its source and marks it. The self-graded result flows into the report. You can edit the model answer in the review editor before the test goes out.
Yes. Edit any question, swap a distractor, ask for alternatives or add one. AI suggestions show as before and after and are applied only when you confirm them.
