Schoolhouse Test Screenshot

Test Creation Made Easy

Schoolhouse Test makes a time-consuming chore a whole lot easier and the result considerably more professional. Some of our customers have even hinted that creating tests with Schoolhouse Test can actually be an enjoyable process. If you're looking for a professional test generator that makes quick work out of creating paper-and-pencil tests, quizzes, and exams then Schoolhouse Test is the program for you.

Easy-to-Use

Easy to Use

Schoolhouse Test is a surprisingly easy to use and very intuitive test maker. It incorporates three views or work areas depending on the current task. You use the design view to construct your test or quiz, the document view to format the test and see exactly what it will look like when printed, and the answer sheet view to format the answer sheet and see what it will look like when printed.

Multiple Question Types

Multiple Question Types

Using a variety of question types in your tests and quizzes will make the evaluation more interesting and challenging for your students. It can also make it easier to assess learning for material that does not conform to the standard multiple-choice question type.

Fast Results

Fast Results

You need a quick quiz for your science class. Schoolhouse Test can get the job done in minutes. Not only will you have a quiz ready for your next class but you'll have a quiz that can be easily randomized and given again in a week's time as a follow-up quiz. Or, using the built-in Question Bank (Pro editions), you can easily combine the questions from this quiz with questions from other quizzes for an end-of-unit test or an end-of-term exam.

14 Question Types

With Schoolhouse Test you can design custom tests and quizzes to evaluate learning in any subject area using 14 versatile question types:

Multiple Choice

Schoolhouse Test makes the creation and organization of multiple-choice questions amazingly easy. Design questions with up to 26 choices. Each choice can include a picture, can be deactivated when not required for a particular test, and can be locked against any randomization. Choices can be added or removed by simply pressing the plus or minus buttons. Randomizing the choices is simply a matter of pressing the randomize button. The question can be structured in up to six columns and ordered by column or row. Choice numbering can be alternated between odd and even questions (ABCD, EFGH). Other options include the customization of the appearance of the choice bubbles including sizing, coloring, and font.

Multiple Choice

Checklist

With the checklist you can deploy a question that requires the selection of a correct set of items from a list of correct and incorrect items. Enter your list of items and simply check the correct items. As with all list type questions, items can be added or removed by pressing the plus or minus buttons. The list can be randomized and a picture can be added. Items can be organized in up to six columns and ordered by row or by column.

Checklist

Fill-in-the-Blanks

Creating fill-in-the-blanks questions can be a time-consuming chore. But with Schoolhouse Test it's a snap. Type or paste in a block of text and then simply double-click any word to remove it, add it to the list of removed words, and number the blank. Or, if you want to remove a phrase or part of a word, just highlight it and press the Select button. What could be easier? Lots of options are available for customizing the numbering of the blanks including numbering style (lowercase, uppercase, numeric) numbering decoration (parentheses, hyphens, brackets, or none). And, if desired, the removed words can be displayed in a word bank.

Fill-in-the-Blanks

List

When you want students to provide a list of names, places, events, or other data, the List is your go to question type. Lists in Schoolhouse Test can have up to 26 items, accompanied by a picture, organized in up to six columns, and ordered by row or by column.

List

List With Prompts

The List With Prompts question type takes the list type question to the next level. The addition of prompts makes for a very flexible assessment element for any test. Select to display the prompts before or after the answers. Options also include layout in up to four columns, and ordering by column or by row.

List with Prompts

Order

With this question type you can provide students with a list of items to put in the correct order. Simply enter up to 26 items in the correct order and then press the Randomize button which automatically scrambles the list. For the test, students enter the order number beside each item. Additionally, a picture can be added for each item.

Order

Matching

The Matching question type provides two lists of items to be matched up. Enter up to 26 matching pairs and then click the randomize button to scramble the list. Students match each item in the numbered list on the left with the letter of the correct matching item on the right. A picture can be assigned to each item. And options include multi-column layout and ordering by column or row.

Matching

Statements

A question type that requires students to indicate which statements in a list of statements are true and which are false. Sort of like a super true/false question. The statements can be randomized and a picture added. Adding additional items (up to 26) is just a matter of pressing the plus button. And pressing the minus button removes them. Items can be laid out in up to four columns and organized by column or by row. The header text can easily be changed from the default 'T' and 'F'.

Statements

Table

Easily create flexible Table questions with answers set by column, row, or cells. Enter your table data and then click the check mark on each cell that you want to make an answer. Or use the column/row editor to make all the cells answers in an entire row or column. Column and row dimensions can be set in the column/row editor, by dragging column and row lines with your mouse, or by using the handy auto-size functions. Options include numbering for answers, and row and column background colors.

Table

Short Answer

Short Answer provides a quick way to add questions that require written answers of a few words to a paragraph or two. A picture can be attached for both the question and the answer. Extra answer lines can be provided and the spacing between the lines can be adjusted.

Short Answer

Long Answer (Essay)

Long Answer or Essay questions can be used when longer answers are required than can be covered by the Short Answer questions. A picture can be attached for both the question and the answer. Extra answer lines can be provided and the spacing between the lines can be adjusted. The answer lines can also be removed from the test document if students will be provided with alternate writing materials for essay questions.

Long Answer (Essay)

True False

The simple True False question can be a useful addition to any test. Options are available to change the true/false text, the appearance of the buttons, and the layout of the buttons: horizontal or vertical.

True False

Diagram

Use the Diagram question when you need to have students label, complete, or draw a diagram. Add the diagram image and the diagram key and optionally add a border if no image will be supplied.

Diagram

Multi-Part

New for version 5 the multi-part question steps in when a single overall question or topic with multiple parts is the best fit for your test requirements. Marks can even be assigned for each individual part. Additional parts can be added (up to 26) by simply pressing the plus button. Pressing the minus button removes them. And, as with the short and long answer questions, extra answer lines can be added to make additional writing space for the answers.

Schoolhouse Test is Fantastic

(but don't take our word for it)

This program is FANTASTIC! I have already shown it to so many other teachers. I am going to take it to my old school principal and get her to purchase it for the school. I wish I had this program back when I was a classroom teacher! It would have made my life so much easier. It is so user friendly, and can be used for more than test & quizzes. I have used it to make review sheets and other kinds of worksheets for my daughter. It is an amazing resource!

Your products are fantastic; slowly but surely the peers in my building are buying your programs. Yesterday we had a staff meeting and I shared your Test writing program [Schoolhouse Test] with other teachers. Washington State's WASL, the state test, is written exactly like your program. For years we have struggled to make templates to fit the test. I shared your program, and there was even discussion of purchasing a site license. Please keep working, love the new games on the vocabulary program.

Karen C.

The program makes very clean, professional looking tests. I have taken mine and had them (both pre-course & post-course tests) laminated and placed in a spiral-bound booklet for continued use. The addition of pictures and different question formats add to the test and allow for different learning styles. You have been quick to respond to all questions and Schoolhouse Test is a very easy to use program that allows for quick copy/paste fill-in and is in an easy-to-use format. The results might possibly be duplicated by other programs, but the time and effort would be considerably more.

I am enjoying using the Schoolhouse Test program. I did have a glitch, but I think it is a memory glitch as I don't remember if I updated both the program on my home computer and my office computer at school. I have recommended and will continue to recommend the Schoolhouse Test program. It is the best of the test generating programs and it allows me to be independent of textbook ancillary test programs. Thank you for contacting me to see how things are going and for the hard work your company puts into its product.

Daniel B.

I must start by expressing my sincere appreciation for the fantastic program! I have been using the Schoolhouse Test program for all my school tests since March 2010 and am very impressed! It has certainly made setting up the dreaded tests and exam papers a breeze! I now look forward to setting up tests.

Colette A.

I have only used your program [Schoolhouse Test] a few times, but I really think it is much better than any I have used or looked at. I am still learning all the ropes, but I feel very confident with the program and think it is great. I have been telling all my colleagues about it. Thanks for a great product that does what it says.

Mark G.

I do appreciate your products...and I love the [Schoolhouse Test]! I was able to create a 30 question Social Studies test in 15 minutes first time. Thank you for such a great product!
