Quiz & Test Builder
Quiz & exam maker for teachers
Free · In‑App Purchases
Native on Mac, iPad and iPhone. Turn the questions you already have into finished tests, export to your learning system or Word, and sync through iCloud
Test Builder turns your question bank into finished tests — on Mac, iPad and iPhone. It's a native Apple app, not a website: fast, works offline, and keeps your banks in sync through iCloud.
MADE FOR MAC, IPAD AND IPHONE
• A real Mac app with a three-column layout, keyboard shortcuts and menus
• The same banks and tests on iPad and iPhone, synced through your private iCloud
• On foldable iPhones, the bank and the test sit side by side and work around the fold
• Works offline, with adjustable text size and built-in help
BRING THE QUESTIONS YOU ALREADY HAVE
• Paste questions straight from a document: numbered questions, lettered choices, and answers marked with an asterisk, an "Answer: B" line, or an answer key at the end
• Import text files and spreadsheets (CSV), including sheets with separate "wrong answer" columns — a template is built in
• Publisher-style test banks work too: "ANS:", "DIF:" and "TOP:" lines fill in the answer, difficulty and topic
• Import Canvas QTI exports and Diploma files
• Every import is checked before it's saved: fix a missing answer with one tap, edit anything that came through wrong, and skip duplicates automatically
• Not ready to import? Try the built-in sample bank, with 40 questions and a ready-made test
MULTIPLE CHOICE, TRUE/FALSE AND SHORT ANSWER
• Write and edit all three, or bring them in from your files
• Short-answer questions can accept several correct answers
BUILD TESTS QUICKLY
• Browse by chapter, search every question and answer, and filter by difficulty, format, type or source
• Add questions with one tap, reorder by dragging, or sort by chapter or difficulty
• Open any question in place to read it in full, or jump to where it lives in the bank
• Edit any question — changes are kept separate, so you can always revert
• Select many questions and change their chapter, difficulty, type or topic all at once
• Add a set number of random questions from the chapters you choose, with an optional difficulty mix
• Shuffle a test's answers without changing your bank, and drag questions straight into a test
SEE HOW A TEST IS BALANCED
• Charts show the mix of difficulty, chapters, topics, formats, question types and sources
• See which topics a test covers — and which it leaves out
• An answer-key check warns when one letter is the right answer too often
EXPORT ANYWHERE
• Canvas (QTI, as a quiz or a question bank), Moodle (Moodle XML), and Blackboard Learn (QTI 2.1 or question files)
• Aiken text for other quiz tools, and standard QTI 2.1 for other systems
• Word documents for paper tests, with an optional answer key and shuffled questions or answer choices
• Each export shows which learning systems take it
KEEP EVERY COURSE ORGANIZED
• As many question banks as you like, each with its own tests — switch in a tap
• Rename banks and chapters, and export a bank as a backup
PRIVATE BY DESIGN
No accounts, no ads, no tracking, no subscription. Your questions stay on your devices and in your own iCloud.
Test Builder is free. I built it for my own use after being frustrated with old apps that didn't work anymore, or clunky web-based editors. If it saves you time, an optional tip in Settings helps keep it going. I only have access to Canvas, so if you have used the other systems and have trouble with uploading tests, please let me know!
Ratings & Reviews

Add random questions
• Fill a test in one step: choose chapters and how many questions, and Test Builder picks them at random, evenly across chapters or by chapter size.
• Optional difficulty mix (say 30% Easy, 50% Medium, 20% Difficult), question formats, and leaving out questions already used in your other tests.
• See exactly what will be added, reshuffle until it looks right, and undo if you change your mind.
Shuffle answers
• Give a test its own answer order with one tap. The bank and your other tests keep theirs, and every export and answer key follows the new order. "All of the above" style choices stay in place.
Quicker to work with
• Drag questions from the bank straight into a test, right where you want them: on Mac, iPad, and across the fold on iPhone Duo.
• Undo removing, adding, sorting or shuffling questions, with the Undo button, ⌘Z, or shake to undo on iPhone.
• On Mac: a new Test menu with shortcuts, Delete to remove selected questions, Space to open them, Return to edit, and ⌘F to search.
Help when you need it
• Built-in help: Help › Test Builder Help on Mac, Settings › Help on iPhone and iPad, with a way to email questions or suggestions.
Also
• The version number and Tip Jar now live in Settings › About.
• Test Details labels the total in the difficulty chart.
• More reliable with large banks and iCloud sync, and many smaller fixes.
