How to Create Quiz Question Banks Using Wondershare QuizCreator

One of a teacher's biggest sources of frustration is discovering students have been passing copies of returned quizzes to their friends. Not only do they know what questions you intend to ask, they know the correct answers. A simple solution is to create a randomized question bank with Wondershare Quiz Creator. Students don't know what questions will appear on their quiz, forcing them to study after all.

Instructions

1. Add your questions in the "Add Question" pane. Click on the icon for the type of question you want to ask, and enter the question and answers in the question window.

2. Go to the Quiz Properties" pane. Click on the "Settings" button in the toolbar and check both the "Randomizing" and "Randomize Answer" check boxes. Select the "Shuffle questions" button. Click "OK."

3. Randomize the quiz. Return to the Quiz Settings. Set the number of questions selected from the "Number of Questions to be Used" pulldown. Click the "Randomize Quiz" and accept the new settings. Quiz Creator will present different questions in a different order each time a student takes the quiz.

4. Publish the quiz with the "Publish" pane. You can export the quiz to the web, a Flash presentation or even a Word file.

Tips & Warnings

• The downside of a quiz bank is that you have to create more questions than a student will answer on a given test. But question banks become more important the more times you've given a quiz, so you don't have to write all the questions the first time. If you add three or four questions each semester, you can build a formidable database with time.

• A great way to add questions to your quiz bank is to jot down questions students ask in class.

• You must randomize your questions and answers before you can randomize the entire quiz.
