How to Build an Online Test for Students or Employees
Creating tests for students or employees doesn’t have to be a time-consuming task. Paper-based tests take hours to prepare and grade, and they often fail to keep learners engaged. Online tests, on the other hand, are interactive, easy to manage, and provide instant insights into performance.
With Formester's AI test maker, you can create any type of online test in minutes, share it anywhere, and even automate grading. This guide will show you step by step how to build a detailed online test that saves time, engages learners, and gives actionable results.
Step 1: Log In and Choose Your Test Type
Start by logging into your Formester account, click Create New Form and Start with AI. You’ll have two main options:
Scored Quiz – Automatically grades answers for quick assessment
Outcome Quiz – Shows unique outcomes based on the answers
Choose the type that fits your purpose. Scored quizzes work well for objective assessments, while outcome quizzes are great for personality tests, skills assessments, or scenario-based learning.
Step 2: Add Questions
Describe the test you want to create or paste your questions into the AI prompt. Click Generate, and within a minute, Formester’s AI will create a full test with all necessary questions and answers. This saves hours of manual preparation.
You can further customize your test by:
Adding more questions using the AI Form Editor
Using the Add Elements tab to include single choice, multiple choice, table choice, or picture-based questions
Automatically numbering questions for easy organization
Step 3: Make Your Test Interactive
To boost engagement:
Embed images and videos for subjects like science, geography, or languages
Use the one field per page layout so learners focus on one question at a time
Add hints or feedback for better learning
Formester also supports automatic translation into 200 plus languages, making it ideal for diverse learners.
Step 4: Automate Grading and Feedback
Grading is fully automated. You can:
Enable instant feedback
Randomize answer options
Track student or employee performance without manual work
All results appear in real time on your Formester dashboard. You can view detailed reports, highlight important submissions, and even add extra columns for additional data.
Step 5: Share and Track Results
Once your test is ready, hit Publish and share the link via email, LMS, or social media. For advanced reporting, connect your test to Google Sheets to visualize trends and track performance over time.
