AI test generator: from your material to a test with an answer key

November 7, 2026

Paste the unit notes or the chapter into nixm and say "write a 25-question test on this: 15 multiple choice, 5 short answer, 5 extended, with an answer key and marks". It drafts the paper and the key in the chat; change the balance, the difficulty or one question in the next message. No account to start, one chat credit a message, no transcript of what you pasted is kept.

Test generator vs quiz generator

A quiz is taken on the spot and tells the student what they missed; the AI quiz generator page is that. A test is set by a teacher, marked, and has to be fair: the questions match what was taught, the marks add up, the key is right. This page is for the second job, which is mostly a matter of what you give the generator and what you check afterwards.

The tools, and what each one is for

Wayground (formerly Quizizz) and Kahoot generate questions and run them live in class, with the AI part feeding their own formats. Google Forms with Gemini, on eligible paid Workspace and Google AI plans, drafts a form or quiz you then assign and auto-mark. MagicSchool and QuestionWell are teacher suites with assessment generators inside, on school or individual plans. Each gives you the test in its own container. The chat gives you the test as text you own, to paste into whatever your school marks with.

Where nixm sits

Give it the material and the shape. Material: the notes, the chapter, the slide text, pasted in; a test from what the model remembers about the topic will drift from what you taught. Shape: how many questions, which types, which marks, which difficulty spread, and whether you want distractors that catch a specific misconception. It drafts the paper and a separate answer key with the marks. Then edit in the thread: "question 7 is too easy", "make 12 to 15 about chapter 4 only", "add a version B with the options shuffled".

You can start without an account. Each message costs one chat credit. A free account (email link or Google, no card) comes with starter credits; after that a pack is bought once, no subscription. No transcript of what you type is kept, and the signal dissolves seven days after it was made unless you extend it, and nothing of it remains once the signal dissolves, the unit material and the unpublished paper included. Copy the finished test into your document; for a version the students take on screen with feedback, ask for it as a quiz and it is drawn in the chat with clickable answers.

How to get questions that match what you taught

  1. Paste the material, not the topic. The questions can only be as faithful as the input.
  2. Say the misconceptions. "Two of the four options should be the common mistakes" gives distractors that mean something.
  3. Ask for the key and the marks in a separate block, so the paper copies clean.
  4. Ask for a difficulty spread: "a third recall, a third apply, a third explain".
  5. Check every answer in the key yourself. Questions drawn from your material match it; questions from general knowledge can be wrong on a date or a figure, and the key inherits the error.

Can I make two versions of the same test?

Ask for a version B with the options shuffled or the numbers changed, in the next message.

Is my material kept?

No transcript of what you type is kept, and the signal dissolves seven days after it was made unless you extend it.
