Test Paper

What is the “TestPaper” feature in mySecondTeacher?

With mySecondTeacher’s TestPaper feature, you can generate personalized test papers with just a few clicks to contain sections based on a specific topic, question types, and difficulty level.

There are two types of Testpapers, they are Standard Testpapers which contain Normal and Self-Grading Testpapers (for both students and teachers) and Custom Testpapers (only for teachers) where the teacher can create their own questions.

In Normal Testpaper:

You can create different types of questions like MCQs, Open-ended, and Practical questions as per their availability. Likewise, you can save the testpapers, edit them in word processing applications and even share them directly with your students. The testpapers are accompanied by their respective Marking Schemes.

In Self-Grading Testpaper:

You can generate multiple-choice questions which have correct answers selected in every question. You can attempt the testpapers and the score is AI-generated.

Teachers can also opt to include questions from a secret question bank, only accessible to the teachers.
