Check Yourself! Using Online Pop Quizzes to Help With Studies

Short quizzes and long tests are tools used by learning institutions around the world since they first opened their doors to children hundreds of years ago. Even in the home environment, self generated quizzes and tests made up of questions from old exams are some of the most popular ways for people to come to grips with their studies.

Online Quiz Tools

Long gone are the days where students had to slowly and painfully write out their own self-check quizzes. By using sites like ProProfs, students can create exams and quizzes and even share them with their friends and study partners.

The beauty of using an online tool like those offered at ProProfs, is that users can integrate pictures, videos and audio files with their quizzes. This allows for a wide range of educational uses, such as deploying a documentary video before a history quiz, to see how much relevant information was taken in whilst watching the film, or including a foreign language sound clip with a question asking the user to translate what was said.

Quiz owners can make it so that quiz takers are given feedback relating to their score as soon as they complete the test, without needing any input from a human grader, which can help provide really useful information when it comes to identifying potential gaps in a students knowledge.

Due to their accessible nature, flexibility and the fact they can be set up remotely, these kind of online quiz tools are becoming increasingly popular amongst parents and teachers as well. Many of whom have already set up publicly accessible quizzes that can be found at ProProfs relating to various fields of study. Anyone can access these public tests and they are well worth checking out for inspiration if you need some ideas for quizzes of your own.
