To Create a Scored Quiz Online

 

Step 1: Access Your ProProfs Quiz Maker Account

  • On the dashboard, click the "+ Create a Quiz" button. This will take you to a new page where you can start building your quiz.

 

 

Step 2: Select a Quiz Template, Use AI, or Start from Scratch

 

You can create a quiz in three ways:

  • Use AI: Describe your quiz or upload a document (PDF, DOCX, or TXT), and ProProfs AI will automatically generate questions for you.
  • Choose a Template: Select from a wide range of ready-to-use quizzes.
  • Create from Scratch: Build your quiz manually using the editor.


 

Using AI to Create a Quiz

  • On the Create Scored Quiz page, enter your quiz topic in the input field (e.g., Math Quiz), or upload a file.
  • Click Generate Quiz.
  • The AI will automatically create questions based on your input, which you can review and edit in the quiz builder.
