How it works
Generate the test
Type a topic or paste your material and let AI write multiple-choice, true/false, and short-answer questions.
Open Export on the quiz page
From your saved quiz, choose the student PDF or answer-key PDF export. Each opens a separate print view on paid plans.
Print or save as PDF
The print view uses A4 by default. Print the view or use your browser’s “Save as PDF” option.
Why a separate student copy and answer key
A classroom test needs a clean copy to hand out and a private key for grading. On paid plans, SimpleQuizMaker opens these as separate print views. Use your browser's print dialog to print or save each as a PDF. The key marks correct answers and includes explanations when the saved questions have them.
What's in the export
- · Student copy — title, a name/date line, numbered questions, and answer spaces or lettered choices. No answers shown.
- · Answer key — the same questions with correct answers marked and saved explanations where available.
- · Page size — A4 by default; check your browser's print settings for other paper sizes.
- · Question order — both export views use the saved order. There is no shuffle control in the Export menu.
- · Math notation — rendered in the print view; inspect complex formulas in print preview.
Use cases
No-device classrooms
Not every classroom has a laptop or tablet per student. Print the test, hand it out, and grade from the separate answer key afterward. For a two- or three-question check at the end of a lesson, the exit ticket generator writes one in seconds, and it prints the same way.
Standardized testing conditions
Paper tests remove the risk of students switching tabs or using AI tools mid-test — useful for exam conditions where you want a controlled, offline assessment.
Substitute-teacher-ready
Hand a substitute the student copy and the answer key together — they can proctor and grade without needing your login or dashboard access.
Practice tests for students
Studying for an exam? Generate a practice test on your topic, print the student copy to simulate real test conditions, then check your work against the key. On paid plans you can build it from the chapter itself, as a Word document or a photo of the textbook page.
Other ways to test
Prefer to keep everything online? The same quiz can be shared as a link — students take it on any device with instant auto-grading, no printing needed. See the online test maker or the lighter-weight quiz maker.
What it costs
The free plan includes 5 AI generations per month and basic printing, including your browser's Save as PDF option. Separate student and answer-key export views, DOCX, and a Google Forms export script require a paid plan (from $1.99/mo). See the full pricing comparison.
Printable test maker FAQ
How do I make a printable test with an answer key?
Generate a quiz from a topic or pasted text, save it, then open the quiz. On paid plans, the Export menu opens a student print view with no answers and a separate answer-key view with correct answers and any available explanations. File upload also needs a paid plan.
Is the printable test maker free?
The free plan includes 5 AI generations per month and a basic Print view, which your browser can save as PDF. The separate student and answer-key export views require a paid plan (from $1.99/mo).
Can I shuffle the question order for different students?
The current Export menu has no shuffle control. Quiz owners can turn on question shuffling for the online quiz in its settings; the print export follows the saved question order.
Does it support A4 and US Letter?
The print view defaults to A4 and has no page-size picker. Your browser’s print settings may let you select US Letter when printing or saving as PDF.
Do equations and chemistry notation print correctly?
Math notation is rendered in the print view. Check the browser’s print preview, especially for complex equations or chemistry notation, before sharing copies.
Can I edit questions before printing?
Yes. Edit, regenerate, or delete any question on the quiz page before exporting — the exported PDF always reflects the current saved version.
