Online Test Maker

An online test builder for when it actually counts.

Not a casual quiz — a test creator built for timed windows, locked-down attempts, identity checks, and exam-integrity tools, with a full gradebook-style export when it's over.

Built for formal assessment, not just a quick check.

Everything a secure, gradeable online test actually needs.

checklist

Every Question Format, One Test

Single-choice, multiple-choice, free text, and fill-in-the-blank questions all live in the same test, pulled from your Question Bank or written fresh.

lock_clock

Exam-Grade Timing

Set one countdown for the whole test or a limit per question — the difference between a relaxed practice run and a real exam window.

verified_user

Lock Down Attempts & Identity

Restrict a test to a single attempt and require OTP email verification before anyone can start, so your results reflect one real person per submission.

encrypted

Anti-Cheat by Default

Tab-switch and window-blur detection flags anyone who leaves the test screen, and question and answer randomization stops neighbors from sharing an order.

devices

Any Device, Zero Installs

The test runs in a browser on desktop, tablet, or phone — nothing for a test-taker to download or install.

Instant Objective Scoring

Single-choice, multiple-choice, and fill-in-the-blank answers are scored the moment someone submits — no manual tallying after a big cohort finishes.

Master Paper for Exam Day

Export the same test as a print-ready paper — with answers for grading, without answers to hand out, or blank for an offline exam hall.

insights

Full Results, Not Just a Score

A per-participant table with time taken and attempt number, plus a per-question breakdown of what the whole cohort got wrong.

From blank test to exported results.

Four steps — see the full walkthrough in the build guide if you want every click.

  1. 1

    Build the test

    Mix question formats from your Question Bank, write new ones, or let AI draft a set from a topic or source material.

  2. 2

    Lock it down

    Set the time window, attempt limit, shuffle, and identity checks that match how much this test actually counts.

  3. 3

    Send it out

    Share a link or QR code — no account required on the test-taker's side, on any device.

  4. 4

    Grade and export

    Objective questions score instantly; pull the full results table or per-question breakdown as CSV or PDF when you're done.

What makes a test secure, not just timed

A countdown alone doesn't stop someone from looking answers up in another tab. Tab-switch and window-blur detection flags exactly that, and question and answer randomization means the person next to them isn't looking at the same order. For anything with real stakes, OTP email verification confirms who actually sat the test before you trust the score attached to their name.

All of it runs on top of AES-256 encryption in transit and at rest, with data-handling practices built around FERPA, GDPR, and SOC 2 Type II requirements. See the full security suite for the complete breakdown of every safeguard.

Grading, from first submission to a full export

A score by itself doesn't tell you much. The Quiz Detail View lists every participant — name, email, score, correct count, time taken, and attempt number — and tapping a row opens that person's full question-by-question breakdown. Export the same table as CSV or PDF when you need it outside the app.

Question Performance flips the view around: instead of results per person, it shows how the whole cohort did on each question — how many got it right, wrong, or skipped it — so you can spot the one question everyone missed instead of scrolling through individual scripts. Bookmark any question straight from that screen to reuse it later, and Responses keeps every test you've ever run searchable by participant in one place, in case you're looking for one person rather than browsing test by test.

Master Paper: three exports, one test

Every test can leave the app as a print-ready paper, not just a link.

ExportWhat it includesWhen to use it
With answersEvery question plus the correct answerGrading, or building an answer key for a co-teacher
Without answersA clean copy of the test as takenHanding back to students to review, or archiving
Offline exam paperA blank layout for participants to write on directlyBackup for exam day, or a fully offline test room

Testing that holds up at scale.

The same effort builds a test for 10 people or 1,000 — objective scoring and exam-integrity tools don't get harder to manage as your cohort grows.

Planning your first month of online testing

Week one: build the foundation

Spend the first week getting your questions in. Import any questions you already have in spreadsheets using the Excel template, and use the AI tab to draft questions from PDFs or photos of material you teach most often. Tag everything by subject, chapter, and difficulty. Then create one short test and share it with a single group.

Week two: settle your settings

Based on the first test, decide on standard settings for each kind of test you run. A weekly practice test might allow multiple attempts and show a leaderboard; a graded test might allow one attempt with a strict timer, shuffled questions, and OTP verification. Having standard settings makes every future test quicker to create.

Week three: start acting on results

By the third week, you will have results from a few tests. Look at Question Performance after each one, bookmark the most-missed questions into Revision, and use the first few minutes of your next session to address them. This is where online testing starts paying off beyond saving marking time.

Week four: your first re-test

Select the questions you bookmarked over the month and create a re-test from them. Compare the results with the original tests. Improvement tells you your re-teaching worked; no improvement tells you a topic needs a different approach. Either way, you now have evidence rather than guesswork.

Choosing question formats

Use single choice for most quick checks, multiple choice where more than one answer is correct, fill-in-the-blank for exact recall of terms and numbers, and free text sparingly for reasoning. Fill-in-the-blank is graded by exact match, so keep answers short and unambiguous. Free text needs manual grading, so budget time for it.

Reaching every participant

Share links in the groups participants already use, and show or print QR codes for in-person sessions. For anyone without a device, export the test as an offline exam paper. Participants never need to create an account, which removes the most common barrier to online testing.

Keeping on top of submissions

Turn on notifications to be alerted as submissions arrive, and use the Responses tab to search across every test by participant name or email. The Dashboard shows recent submissions at a glance, so you can see what has happened since you last checked without opening each test.

Sharing results

Export results as CSV for spreadsheets and records, or PDF for sharing with colleagues, managers, parents, or candidates. Individual responses can be opened, printed, and exported when someone needs a question-by-question breakdown of their performance.

Tests for different audiences

Students preparing for school exams benefit from chapter tests with a mix of formats and a realistic timer. Competitive exam aspirants need full-length mocks under strict timing with shuffled questions and a leaderboard. Employees need short, scenario-based checks tied to verified identities, and job applicants need focused skills tests with a single attempt.

The same test maker handles all of these; the difference lies in the questions you choose and the settings you apply.

Keeping tests fresh over time

Reusing the same test with the same group quickly stops being useful, because participants remember the answers. Build a larger pool of questions per topic in the Question Bank and vary which ones you select each time. Shuffling question order also helps a repeated test feel new.

Retire questions that nearly everyone answers correctly, and replace them with harder application questions that still separate stronger from weaker participants.

A quick pre-sharing checklist

Before sharing any test, confirm that every correct answer is right, that the time limit is realistic, that the attempt setting matches the purpose, that the right contact fields are required, and that the description explains the rules. Then take the test once yourself on a phone.

These few minutes prevent nearly every problem people run into with online tests, from unfair scores to participants who cannot be identified afterwards.

Online test maker, answered.

Is there a free online test maker here?expand_more
Yes. Every account starts with a 7-day trial with full access, and after that, editing, sharing, grading, and every export stay free forever. Only creating a brand-new test or question needs a Premium upgrade.
What's the difference between the quiz maker and the test maker here?expand_more
There's one builder in YonoLMS — what turns it into a 'test' rather than a casual quiz is usually the settings: a single attempt, a strict timer, shuffled questions, and identity verification turned on. This page focuses on those settings and the exam-integrity tools that come with them.
Can it stop students from cheating on an online test?expand_more
Tab-switch and window-blur detection flags when someone leaves the test screen, and question and answer randomization plus a strict timed window make it harder to share answers during the test.
Can I verify who's actually taking the test?expand_more
Yes. Turning on OTP email verification requires a test-taker to confirm a 6-digit code before they can start, which cuts down on fake or duplicate entries.
Can I limit a test to a single attempt?expand_more
Yes. Allowing multiple attempts is a setting you control per test — turn it off and a returning participant who already finished is told the test is already completed instead of being let back in.
Can I export test results for my school's records?expand_more
Yes. The per-participant results table and the per-question performance breakdown both export as CSV or PDF.
Can I print a paper backup of an online test?expand_more
Yes, using Master Paper. Export the test with answers for grading, without answers to hand out, or as a blank offline exam paper for participants to write on directly.

Your next test is
