Step-by-Step Guide

How to create an online quiz for students.

Not a formal exam — a quick, low-friction way to check what a class understood, share it in seconds, and reuse the same questions next time.

The short answer

Write or generate your questions, build a quiz from them, then share the link. Students open it in a browser with no account needed, and scores are ready the moment they finish. The quiz maker for teachers is the tool behind every step below — this guide focuses specifically on the everyday student-facing quiz, not a formal, locked-down exam.

Building the quiz.

Four steps from a blank Question Bank to a link students can open.

  1. 1

    Write or generate your questions

    Add questions directly to your Question Bank, or describe a topic in the AI tab and let it draft a set for you to review.

  2. 2

    Build the quiz

    Pick questions from your bank, then move through details, settings, and a final review before saving.

  3. 3

    Share it with students

    Every quiz gets a link and QR code the moment it's created — students open it in a browser with no account needed.

  4. 4

    Check results, then reuse the questions

    Scores land the moment students finish, and every question you used stays in your Question Bank for the next quiz.

Keeping it easy for students

The friction that kills a quick classroom quiz usually isn't the questions — it's everything around them. A student quiz doesn't need an account, an app install, or identity verification to be useful; it needs to open fast and let them get on with it. Skip OTP verification and contact-info collection unless you have a specific reason to need them, and consider turning on the leaderboard if a little friendly competition helps this particular group finish it.

Because every question lands in a taggable, difficulty-rated Question Bank, the next quiz on the same topic doesn't start from zero — you're picking from questions you've already written and checked once.

When you need more than a quiz

Not every assessment should be configured the same way. A quick comprehension check between periods and a formal, graded exam call for different settings on the same underlying builder. If you need a strict time window, a single-attempt limit, or identity verification, see how to make online tests for the settings that fit higher-stakes assessment. For the full feature set behind everyday classroom quizzes — question bank, AI generation, settings, and analytics — see the quiz maker for teachers.

Creating a quiz for students, answered.

How do I create an online quiz for my students?expand_more
Write questions in your Question Bank (or generate them with AI from a topic), pick the ones you want in a quiz, configure basic settings, then share the resulting link or QR code — students take it with no account required.
Do students need to sign up or download anything?expand_more
No. A quiz link opens directly in a browser on any device, and no YunoLMS account is required on the student's side unless you turn on contact-info collection.
Can AI write the quiz questions for me?expand_more
Yes. Describe a topic, or attach a PDF or photos of your material, in the AI tab, and it drafts a set of questions into your Question Bank for you to review before using them.
Can I reuse the same questions in a future quiz?expand_more
Yes. Every question you write or generate is saved to your Question Bank, tagged and searchable, so you can build the next quiz by picking from questions you already have.
How do I see how students did?expand_more
Open the quiz to see a table of every attempt — score, correct count, and time taken — or open Question Performance to see how the class did on each individual question.
What if I need something more formal, like a timed exam?expand_more
A quick student quiz and a formal, locked-down exam use the same builder with different settings. See how to make online tests for the settings that fit a stricter, higher-stakes assessment.
