Hi teachers! I built a free tool to help generate tests and quizzes effortlessly

Hi Teachers!

I'm a developer who has always loved to teach, so I built a tool to help teachers, tutors and creators to build quizzes, tests, and exams without wasting hours creating and formatting to suit your school's platform.

With simpltests.com you can:

➡ Create unlimited tests for free

➡ Generate questions with AI

➡ Export to Canvas, Moodle, Blackboard, Kahoot, Google Forms, Slides, and more

Why we built it

Most educators spend 1–3 hours per test, hunting for questions online, formatting them manually, and fighting LMS imports (QTI, ZIP, CSV, etc). It’s slow, repetitive, and technically annoying.

We wanted something that would:

✔ reduce busywork

✔ integrate with tools teachers already use

✔ make assessments easier, not harder

Here's our Core Features

✓ AI Question Generation

Describe a topic — get MCQs, T/F, or written questions instantly (more question formats coming soon!)

✓ Unlimited Tests (Free)

Create as many tests as you want. No paywall.

✓ LMS Export Support

One-click export for:

• Canvas (QTI)
• Moodle
• Blackboard
• Google Forms
• Google Slides
• Kahoot
• (more coming)

✓ Credit-Based Pricing for AI

Only pay for AI generation — manual test creation stays free forever.

Feedback Welcome!

If you’re a teacher or creator:

We’d love to hear what would make this indispensable for you. :)

Purpose of changing math?

I have a 2nd and 4th grader in GA, USA. The school started this new curriculum the state mandated. They use area models (boxes) and other new concepts. I was taught from Saxon math textbooks. What is the purpose of this and will they ever learn the traditional way? I was told by the teachers that they would not be learning traditional math at all this year. It’s driving me nuts.

Is it possible to get into a good uni after high school with 0 STEM background? (read below)

I was recently thinking about my accomplishments throughout my school career and I've never been good or liked STEM. I've always been more inclined into humanities and all those non-number related stuff. But I also realized that I've never been called smart or thought of myself as smart. In fact, I was always pretty dumb and I think its because I'm not good at STEM. STEM smart is like you're actually smart its all you and you brought yourself here with sheer hard work or talent. Humanities has so many paths to success and if you're good at it, you're just "creative" or "talky" its like fake smart.

And recently, I heard a bunch of my friends who are both really good at STEM and are set to go to really good unis (Michigan and Berkeley) talking about some really difficult looking engineering stuff. I didn't understand any of it and I lost my mind I felt so stupid and inferior and I couldn't sleep that night and the following nights. I already finished high school but I took IB and got a pretty disappointing score of 28 (English A HL, Economics HL, Business HL, Math AI SL, Physics SL, Mandarin ab initio). What I'm doing now during the two years I have before I go to uni is that I'm learning all of the hard AP and SAT stuff for STEM like calc BC physics C etc to get into a good uni like my friends did and for my own mind to rest easy knowing that I am capable and I proved it because I'm literally losing sleep but I'm also worried that this is just delusional to just 180 my entire academic build around after I finished highschool.

Frankly I hate STEM but I can't go on knowing that I'm not smart and not good at it. I also don't want to end up going to a no-name university. That's 90% of the reason I'm pushing myself so hard. But I just want to know if this is even possible in the first place.

Grading time

Question for the group - how many hours do you spend grading an average formative assessment(homework, if you grade it) and end of unit summative assessments? Per assessment, or if easier, average per week?

If possible please share the grade level, content area and country 🙏

Teacher Interviews

Hi, I am looking to become a middle or high school English teachers. I am almost done with my PACE application. I will be getting my statement of eligibility that allows me to go on interviews in about a week.

I have questions about the interview process as someone with no teaching experience. I called the South Carolina Department of Education for some resources and of course they didn't have any.

Does anyone have any tips about going on a job interview for teaching with absolutely zero teaching experience?

Course Hero and CliffsNotes flooding with commercial spam — moderation concerns

Hi everyone,

I want to bring attention to something concerning I’ve noticed across two major educational platforms: Course Hero and CliffsNotes. These sites are widely used by students and educators for academic support, but when reviewing their public question pages and sitemaps, I repeatedly found commercial posts offering paid services like Google reviews, Trustpilot reviews, social media followers, private account access, and other clearly promotional services that have nothing to do with learning.

Examples of problematic threads (all visible publicly):

• coursehero.com/tutors-problems/Business-Other/82888204-What-Businesses-Should-Know-About-Buying-Sitejabber-Reviews-Buy/

• coursehero.com/tutors-problems/Business-Other/81794625-Buy-Trustpilot-Reviews-Boost-Credibility-amp-Skyrocket-Sales/

• cliffsnotes.com/sitemap/cliffs-questions/business-other/2026-02

• cliffsnotes.com/sitemap/cliffs-questions/business-other/2026-01

These don’t look like genuine academic questions. They promote commercial services and, to me, function more like spam. I also tried reporting some of them, and my experience was that only a few got removed, while similar spam keeps appearing month after month.

Has anyone else seen this pattern? Are there better ways to report or flag such content so these educational sites can clean up their moderation? Happy to provide screenshots or specific examples.

Curious what others think, especially educators and students who use these platforms regularly.
