How to Create a Cloze Test
A cloze test is perfect for testing your learners' understanding of context and vocabulary. It consists of two question types - fill in the blanks and multiple choices.
Here's a preview of how a cloze test will appear:
To demonstrate the process, let's create a cloze test for the proverb "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy."
Step 1: Create a new quiz and select multiple choice question type to start.
Step 2: Add content to the question box omitting the preferred words, use underscore to include blanks in place of the words. Here, we use the proverb as "All ___ and no ____ makes Jack a ____ boy." Add the answer choices - work (correct answer), play (incorrect answer). Click "Save" to add the question.
Step 3. Select a new multiple choice question type and repeat the same procedure as in Step 1. Add the answers for the second blank - work (incorrect answer), play (correct answer).
Step 4. Repeat the above steps to create a question for the remaining blanks. Add answers for the third blank - dull (correct answer), bright (incorrect answer). Click "Save" to secure the changes. Click the link below to preview sample cloze test.
