Multiple Choice Test Maker
Type your questions and choices and get a printable multiple choice test with an answer key, mixed-up versions, and an optional bubble sheet. Free in your browser, no sign-up.
What is a multiple choice test maker?
A multiple choice test maker turns typed questions into a finished test. You write each question with its choices and put an asterisk before the right one. The tool numbers the questions, letters the choices, and lays the test out on the page. It also makes an answer key with every right choice circled in red. Some teachers call it a multiple choice quiz maker; the sheet is the same. Download the PDF and hand it out. Nothing to install, nothing to sign up for.
When do you use a multiple choice test?
Whenever you want a quick, fair check of what students know. Three moments where a test built from your own questions beats a premade one:
End-of-unit tests
Write the questions from what you actually taught, with the right choice marked as you type. Print a numbered test, keep the answer key beside you, and mark a stack of papers in minutes instead of an evening.
Tests that students cannot copy
Choose Mixed Up and two to four versions, and each version comes out in its own order, tagged Version A, Version B, and so on. Neighbors cannot read each other's answers, and every version has its own key.
Review before the big test
Make a short practice test on the topics that need another look, and use the bubble answer sheet to give students a feel for test day. Press Mix Up Again for a fresh order next week.
Core features of
a multiple choice test maker
A good multiple choice test maker takes your questions and gets a clean test out the other end. Here is what this one does, from the first question to the printed page.
Type your questions and choices
Type each question, then its choices on the lines under it, with an asterisk before the right one. A blank line starts the next question. A note under the box counts your questions and names any with no right answer.
- An asterisk marks the right choice
- A blank line starts a new question
- Up to 12 choices and 200 questions
More than one kind of question
Mix four kinds of question on one test. Choices get letters, True and False get circles, a word in square brackets becomes a blank, and a question with no choices gets lines to write on.
- Lettered choices on each question
- True or False with two circles
- Blanks and written answers too
Mixed-up order and versions
Choose Mixed Up to shuffle the question order and the choices. Pick one to four versions: Version A can stay as typed, and the rest are shuffled differently. Choices like All of the above stay put.
- Order: As Typed or Mixed Up
- One to four tagged versions
- All of the above keeps its place
An answer key for every version
Switch between the Worksheet and the Answer Key. The key circles the right letter in red, fills the right True or False circle, and writes blank and written answers in red. Every version gets its own key.
- Right letter circled in red
- True or False circle filled in
- Written answers printed in red
A bubble sheet, a PDF, or print
Turn on the Answer sheet for a bubble page after the test, with a row of circles for each choice and True or False question. Download the Worksheet and Answer Key as PDFs, or press Print.
- An optional bubble answer sheet
- Two PDFs: the test and the key
- US Letter or A4 paper
How to make
a multiple choice test
Five steps from a blank page to a stack of tests, and writing good questions is the longest part.
Type your questions
Type each question with its choices on the lines below it, and put an asterisk before the right choice. Leave a blank line between questions. The note under the box shows the count by kind.
Set the order and versions
Under Order, pick As Typed or Mixed Up. Under Versions, pick one to four. The hint under them says what will be shuffled, so you know before you print.
Add an answer sheet if you want one
Switch Answer sheet to On for a page of bubbles after the test. It covers the choice and True or False questions. Set Answer lines from one to four for written questions.
Press Mix Up Again, then check the key
Mix Up Again shows once the order is Mixed Up or you have more than one version. It shuffles the same questions into a new order. Switch to Answer Key to check every right answer.
Download or print
Choose US Letter or A4, then download the Worksheet for students and the Answer Key for you. Or press Print to send the test to the printer. Edit the title and directions first if you like.
That's the whole test
Type the questions once and print as many copies as you need. The test maker is at the top of this page.

Get Started for FreeMore than a test template
A premade test asks someone else's questions. This one builds the page from yours, shuffles it when you ask, and gives you the key. It runs in any browser, including a locked-down school laptop.
All of the above stays in place
When a question has a choice like All of the above, its choices keep the order you typed, even on a shuffled test.
A missing answer is named
If a question has no right answer marked, the hint counts them and tells you to put an asterisk before the right choice.
A header ready to print
The title reads Multiple Choice Test and the directions fit the kinds of question you typed. Edit either one, or switch off the Name and Date row.
US Letter or A4
Pick the paper you print on and the page is laid out for it. The test and the answer key are two separate PDFs.
Your settings are remembered
Your questions and settings stay in this browser, so you can close the tab and pick the same test up later. Nothing is uploaded.
Free, and no watermark
No account, no sign-up, and no logo across the page. The only mark is a small "Made with EMStudio" line in the footer.
Who is the multiple choice test maker for?
Anyone who needs a test built around specific questions. If a premade test never quite matches what you taught, it is for you.
Classroom teachers
Unit tests, chapter checks, and exit tickets. Write the questions in your students' language, print a copy for every student, and keep the answer key for yourself.
Tutors and homeschool parents
Make a test for this week's lesson and print it at the kitchen table. Turn on the answer sheet for a child who is practicing bubble tests, or leave it off for everyday checks.
Teachers who give make-ups and retakes
Pull the questions a few students missed and print a short retake in a new order. Versions B to D are always shuffled, so a retake does not match the test the class already saw.
How EMStudio's multiple choice test maker is different
Many test makers bury the download behind a sign-up, add a logo to the page, or give you no answer key. This one is built by the team behind a full teacher planner, and it treats a test as part of your lesson.
Free, with nothing held back
The full PDF, the answer key, every version, both paper sizes, and printing, all without an account or a daily limit. The only mark on the page is a small "Made with EMStudio" footer line.
Your questions, not a stock bank
You write every question, so the test checks what you taught, at the reading level of your class. The tool does the numbering, the lettering, the shuffling, and the layout.
Part of a full teacher planner
A test is one small part of a unit. When you are ready, EMStudio's lesson planner holds the rest: every class's lessons on a weekly calendar, beside your students, grades, and attendance.
