Assemble a mixed-format test — multiple choice, true/false and short answer with point values and a full answer key — in minutes. Free, editable, no sign-up.
Building an end-of-unit test is one of the bigger assessment chores: you need a spread of question types, sensible point values, coverage of the whole unit and a matching answer key. The generator above assembles all of it from your topic and your chosen section sizes. You decide how many multiple-choice, true/false and short-answer questions to include; it writes them, assigns points and produces the key.
A strong test samples the whole unit and mixes recall with application. Multiple-choice and true/false questions cover breadth efficiently; short-answer questions reveal whether students can explain, not just recognize. The point values let you weight the harder thinking more heavily. Adjust the section sizes to match how you want to balance breadth against depth for this unit.
AI writes fluent test questions, and fluent is not the same as accurate or well-aligned. Read every item: confirm the facts, make sure each multiple-choice question has one defensible answer, check that short-answer prompts are clear about what you want, and verify the key. Cut anything that tests trivia instead of the unit's real objectives. The generator gives you a complete draft in minutes; your review makes it a fair test.
Build the test alongside the rubric that grades its written sections, use the quiz generator for the daily checks leading up to it, and map the whole unit first with the unit plan generator so the test measures the objectives you set. Aligning the test to the plan is what makes the grade mean something.
A well-built test samples the whole unit rather than over-weighting whatever was freshest, and it mixes question types so it measures both breadth and depth. Use the section controls to balance efficient objective questions against a few that require explanation, and set point values so the harder thinking counts for more. Before you administer it, map the questions back to your unit's objectives and check that each major goal is actually assessed — a test that skips a key objective, or tests one thing five times, gives you a distorted picture of what students learned.
AI writes fluent questions, and fluency hides errors. Read every item as a skeptical student would: is there a second defensible answer to that multiple-choice question, is the short-answer prompt clear about what you want, does the key match reality? Confirm every fact, since a plausible-sounding but wrong question on a high-stakes test is genuinely unfair. This review is the step that separates a time-saving tool from a liability — the generator drafts in minutes, and your careful read is what makes the result a test you can stand behind.
A test is also data. When you grade, note which questions the class missed as a group; those clusters tell you what did not land and what to revisit before moving on or before a cumulative exam. Returning tests with time to review corrections turns the assessment into one more learning pass, and generating a fresh version on the same content gives you a clean retake for students who need one without reusing the exact questions.
The fairness of a test comes down to alignment: every question should map to something you actually taught and to the objectives you set for the unit. It's worth sketching that mapping before you finalize the test — a quick check that each major objective is assessed, that no minor point is over-represented, and that the balance of easy and hard questions matches your goals. A test built this way tells you something true about what students learned; one assembled from whatever questions came to hand can penalize students for gaps in your coverage rather than their knowledge. The generator drafts the questions fast, which leaves you time for exactly this alignment check — the step that most determines whether the test is fair.
Building a test with this generator is fast, but you remain the author. You set the scope, you verify every question and key, and you align the result to what you taught before anyone sits down to take it. The tool's job is to eliminate the tedious assembly so your time goes to the part that matters — making the test fair and informative. That is the deal across Chalkbox: the tool does the drafting and the busywork; the professional judgment about your students stays entirely with you.

Yes. Choose your sections and question counts and it builds a full test with point values and an answer key — free, no account.
Yes. Set how many multiple-choice, true/false and short-answer questions you want and it assembles them into one test with a marked point value for each.
Yes — a complete answer key is included at the end, so grading the objective sections is fast.
A test is longer and multi-section, built for end-of-unit assessment; a quiz is shorter for daily checks. Use whichever fits the moment.
Always. Check every question for accuracy and clarity, confirm the key, and align the content to what you actually taught before administering the test.
