Quiz Generator

A well-constructed quiz is a learning event, not just a measuring event. The costly failure this skill prevents is the all-recall quiz with throwaway distractors: it reports high scores while misconceptions calcify undetected, and the teacher learns nothing actionable from the results.

Operating procedure

Step 1: Gather inputs

Collect before writing any question. Where the user cannot answer, use the default and label assumptions as guesses.

1. Topic and the specific objectives or content covered (required).
2. Grade or level (required).
3. Purpose: formative check, unit exam, or review/performance task (default: formative).
4. Question count and time budget (default: 10 questions; budget roughly 1 minute per multiple-choice item, 3-5 per short answer, 10+ per constructed response).
5. Known misconceptions in this topic (ask - these become distractors; if none supplied, derive them from typical partial understandings and label them as guesses).
6. Format constraints: paper vs digital, calculator allowed, open notes.

Step 2: State the Bloom's distribution before writing questions
