QuizMaker

Be it that you are a full-time professional working in the education field and you prepare an exam for your students or just an avid quiz solver which wants to create some intricate tests for friends, having a dedicated software to help you with that is ideal. QuizMaker offers users several standard quiz formats, such as short answer or essay, which can be easily customized and adjusted in order to create tests according to their specific requirements.

The application will allow you to first create one or several quizzes, and then assign questions to each one. The provided interface carries a well-thought layout, which holds the tests on one side, and their corresponding answers in the other.

At this point it is worth mentioning that the application also offers batch processing, which can come in handy especially to those who wish to create multiple tests in a timely and efficient manner.

By far, the highlight of the app is the way it deploys its question types, as well as the available customization. One can choose a pre-defined question type, assign it to a particular test, name it, add its corresponding test, as well as answers and scoring or grades.

Penalties are also provided, for incorrect answers and automatic numbering is included as well. Last but not least, previewing of the resulting tests can be done either in plain text, HTML, or even “blackboard” formats.

If you’re looking for a simple yet capable app for creating quizzes, which also offers deep tweaking for the questions and answers, then QuizMaker might just be for you. Built as a lightweight, portable package, it offers a good blend of functionality and ergonomics.
