How to create a quiz in the 'Test your knowledge' tool: practical guide
The 'Test your knowledge' tool helps quickly transform educational or working material into a quiz with questions, answer options and separate explanation blocks. In this article we examine a specific task: create a check quiz on the topic 'Workflow for everyday tasks'. We will review how to prepare the source text, which fields to fill in, how to check the result and what to pay attention to. All examples are illustrative and are not a guarantee of accuracy or quality of the final quiz.
Open tool: Quiz generator ↗What the tool does and why it is needed
'Test your knowledge' is a web-based tool that creates a quiz based on your text: questions, answer options and a separate block with correct answers and explanations. You enter the source material, specify the audience and desired quiz length, select the output language and press 'Generate'. The result appears in a separate panel and can be copied or downloaded as a plain text TXT file.
The tool does not require registration, does not save data automatically and does not publish anything without your participation. It cannot work with documents, does not perform OCR and does not support batch processing. This means that all source text must be prepared in advance and pasted manually. Such an approach is convenient when you need to quickly make a quiz draft for self-checking or for colleagues, and then edit it manually if needed.
Important to understand: the tool is not a learning management system and does not replace a teacher. It only helps save time on question formulation. Always check the final quiz for compliance with your goals and correctness of phrasing.
Example request: source text about three steps of a workflow, audience - new employees, length - 5 questions.
Preparing the source material
The quality of the quiz directly depends on the source text. The clearer and more structured the material, the more accurate the questions will be. It is recommended to use text up to 8000 characters in volume. If you have a large document, split it into meaningful parts and create several quizzes. Make sure there are no contradictions, unnecessary details or unverified statements in the text.
For the topic 'Workflow for everyday tasks' a description of a sequence of steps is suitable: for example, planning, execution, checking and completion. Specify concrete actions, timeframes, responsible persons and readiness criteria. Avoid general phrases like 'do well' - they do not allow forming unambiguous questions.
If you use external sources, make sure you have the right to use them. Do not insert confidential data, personal information or trade secrets. The tool is not intended for processing sensitive data, and you are responsible for the content of the source text.
Source text fragment: 'Step 1. Check the task list in the morning. Step 2. Select three priority tasks. Step 3. Execute them before lunch. Step 4. In the evening mark completed items and move remaining tasks to the next day'.
Setting fields: audience and length
The 'Audience or experience level' field helps the tool adapt the complexity of formulations. If the quiz is for beginners, specify 'beginners' or 'no experience'. For experienced staff you can write 'mid-level specialists'. This does not guarantee perfect adaptation, but sets a guideline. Do not use too general phrases, e.g. 'everyone wishing' - this reduces accuracy.
The 'Length or duration' field determines how many questions the quiz will contain. You can specify '5 questions', '10 minutes' or 'short quiz'. The tool interprets this in its own way, so after generation check if the number of questions matches your expectations. If the result is too long or short, rephrase and try again.
Remember, the tool has no difficulty, style or change level settings. All parameters are set by text only. The more specifically you describe the audience and goal, the more useful the result will be.
Filling fields: source material - text about four steps; audience - 'new employees without experience'; length - '5 questions'.
Generation and result checking
After pressing the 'Generate' button you will receive a quiz in a separate panel. Usually it contains questions with answer options, as well as a block with correct answers and explanations. Read each question carefully: is there any ambiguity, does it contradict the source text, are all answer options plausible? Special attention should be given to explanations - they should help understand why the answer is correct.
Check that the correct answers really correspond to your source material. Sometimes the tool may add a question, the answer to which is not obvious from the text. In such case edit the question manually or exclude it. Remember that the model may make errors, and queue and availability of the service may change.
If the quiz is intended for other people, run it yourself or give a colleague to take it. This will help identify inaccuracies and improve phrasing. Do not publish the quiz without prior checking.
Example generated question: 'Which step follows immediately after selecting priority tasks?' Options: A) mark completed items; B) execute them before lunch; C) move remaining tasks. Correct answer: B. Explanation: the source text states that after selecting priority tasks one must execute them before lunch.
Tool limitations
The tool does not support export to DOCX or PDF, does not perform batch processing, does not save results automatically and does not integrate with other systems. You can only copy the text or download it in TXT format. Also there is no possibility to upload documents, send them by email or publish directly. Everything is done manually.
There are no settings for highlighting changes, special comparison modes or settings panels. The interface is a web form with text fields. Images, if provided, are vector compositions (SVG and PNG) not photorealistic generation. Speech is synthesized with eSpeak in WAV, subtitles - in SRT. Audio is not sent to AI: it is processed locally. This is important to consider when working with confidential materials.
Maximum volumes: first text field - up to 8000 characters, additional details - up to 1000 characters, speech - up to 3000 characters, images - up to 4 MB, browser audio - up to 20 MB or 5 minutes. Exceeding limits may cause an error. Plan volume in advance.
If your source text is more than 8000 characters, split it into parts and create several quizzes.
Practical scenario: quiz on workflow
Imagine you are a team leader and want to check how new employees have mastered the daily workflow. You prepared text: 'In the morning check the task list. Select three priority tasks. Execute them before lunch. In the evening mark completed items and move remaining tasks to the next day.' Audience - new employees, length - 5 questions.
You paste the text into the 'Source material' field, specify audience and length, select Russian language and press 'Generate'. After a few seconds you get a quiz. Check it: questions cover all steps, answers are unambiguous, explanations refer to the source text. If something is wrong, correct the text and repeat generation.
The ready quiz can be copied and sent to colleagues by email or messenger. This is not an automatic system, but a helper tool. It saves time but does not replace your expertise. Always check the final material before use.
Final quiz with 5 questions: 1) What should be done in the morning? 2) How many priority tasks to select? 3) When to execute priority tasks? 4) What to do in the evening with completed items? 5) What to do with remaining tasks?
The 'Test your knowledge' tool is a simple way to quickly create a quiz draft based on your text. It suits educational and working tasks, but requires careful checking. Remember the limitations: no export to DOCX/PDF, no automatic saving, audio processed locally, images are vector. Use the tool as a helper, not as a replacement for a teacher or methodologist. Always check the final quiz for compliance with your goals and correctness of phrasing.
