QuizGenerator Is a Great Tool for Exam Prep!
QuizGenerator is a web service that lets you easily create questions using a computer and an internet connection.
Given its name, you might think QuizGenerator is just a “quiz creation tool.”
However, in addition to creating quizzes, QuizGenerator also makes it easy to create “university entrance exams and certification tests.”
How QuizGenerator Can Help with Exam Prep
QuizGenerator allows anyone—even those with no programming knowledge—to create original questions for free.
Although we didn’t create any in this article, you can also create English listening comprehension questions and Japanese language tests with vertically formatted text.
It also supports “LaTeX,” so you can create math problems that include special symbols and mathematical formulas.
⇒ For more details, please see “QuizGenerator: An e-learning system that supports mathematical formulas and special symbols.”

Useful for Exam Prep! Recommended Features of QuizGenerator
When taking the actual college entrance exam, there are various challenges, such as time limits and passing scores.
With QuizGenerator, you can customize various settings to take a test that simulates the real exam experience.
▼Here are some test preparation settings you can use with QuizGenerator.
・By using the “Shuffle Question Order” setting, you can solve problems without having to memorize the order of the answers.
・Set a time limit to get into the habit of solving problems within the allotted time.
・By hiding whether an answer is correct or incorrect while you’re working on a problem, you can identify your weak areas as you check your answers.
・By enabling the option to freely navigate between questions, you can start with the ones you’re good at or get a sense of the test as a whole
・Once you’ve created questions, you can review them repeatedly, and you can also share them with others
These are just a few examples.
Among these, we’d like to highlight a few QuizGenerator features that we particularly recommend.
Setting a Time Limit
As mentioned above, in real tests, you must answer within a time limit.
By creating tests with time limits in QuizGenerator, you can prepare yourself for the pressure of the actual test and practice managing your time.
The time limit can be set in “seconds,” allowing for precise adjustments.
⇒ For more details, see How to Set a Time Limit.
Hide Correct/Incorrect Answers During the Test
This setting prevents answers from being displayed for individual questions; instead, a grading button is placed only at the very end, revealing correct or incorrect answers only after all questions have been answered.
This setting prevents the situation where students think they understand a concept simply by seeing the answer while working on the question.
Additionally, since the correct answers are revealed only after the test is completed, the process of checking answers naturally occurs, allowing students to carefully review the questions they answered incorrectly.
In an actual test, it is impossible to check your answers immediately after each question.
Therefore, this feature is highly recommended for those who want to practice in a setting that closely resembles the real test.
⇒ For details, see “Hiding the Grading Button During the Test.”
Navigate Between Previous and Next Questions
By default, questions are presented in sequence, and you cannot freely view previous or next questions.
As a result, it is impossible to review your answers after completing a set of questions.
Also, when taking a test, you’ll likely want to skim through the entire test first to estimate how much time to allocate to each question.
In such cases, you can configure the settings to display questions freely without being restricted to the sequential order.
⇒ For more details, see “Navigating to Previous and Next Questions.”

Managing Grades with learningBOX
learningBOX is an e-learning system that, in addition to QuizGenerator’s quiz features, allows you to manage “grading and grade tracking” all in one place.
With learningBOX, it automatically tracks your study time on a daily basis.
You can proceed with your studies in a planned manner while checking how much you’ve been able to study.
Beyond simply solving problems, “coming up with your own questions and repeatedly reviewing them” is a highly effective study method for preparing for college entrance exams.
When preparing for entrance exams, being able to self-manage your grades with learningBOX can boost your motivation—for example, by seeing that “my test scores are gradually improving!”
Detailed instructions on how to use learningBOX are provided in the feature overview here.
Summary
Simply studying blindly with the mindset, “I want to get into my dream university! To do that, I just have to study!” may not lead to the exam preparation results you’re hoping for.
It’s important to have an appropriate study method for the entrance exams and to stay healthy, both physically and mentally.
By using QuizGenerator for test preparation, you’ll have opportunities to expand your knowledge through the three stages of “creating questions, solving them, and checking your answers.”
Additionally, by using learningBOX in conjunction with QuizGenerator, you can easily manage individual performance data and learning progress within the system.
learningBOX is available “free of charge and with no time limit” for individual use as well as for administrators.
The Free Plan supports up to 10 users, including the administrator, so if you share the tests you’ve created with friends, you can help each other improve your learning outcomes.
If you’re interested, please give the learningBOX Free Plan a try.
