About Printable Quiz Maker
This printable quiz maker opens in the print view, which previews the quiz sheet and prints it for students, with a separate answer key for you. Press Back to editor to write or import your questions first. It is free, needs no sign-up and runs in your browser, so nothing you enter is uploaded.
The quiz sheet has a title, a line for the name and date, and the questions in a numbered list. Multiple choice and true or false questions show their options as A, B and so on, and short answer questions get a blank line to write on. The answer key prints the same sheet with the correct option in bold and the accepted answer written out for short answers.
The preview also has a Show answers in preview switch. Printing opens a new window that uses your browser print dialog. Allow pop-ups if your browser blocks it, and pick Save as PDF as the printer if your browser offers it and you want a file. Questions that are not complete, such as an empty option, are left out, so check the count shown above the buttons.

- An optional timer of up to 600 minutes that submits the quiz when it runs out.
- A score screen that shows how many you got right and marks the questions you missed.
- A printable sheet and a printable answer key, opened in your browser print dialog.
- Export the quiz as a JSON file and import it again later, or on another device.
- Paste questions in a simple text format to build a quiz quickly.
- Local autosave: your quiz is kept in this browser while you edit, so a refresh does not lose it.
Privacy: how it works
- Your questions and answers are handled by code in your browser tab and are never sent to Ulkaa or anyone else. The quiz you are editing is saved automatically in your own browser storage on this device.
Tips
- Write one idea per question and make wrong options plausible, so the quiz tests understanding and not guessing.
- For short answers, list the common spellings and forms with a vertical bar, such as USA | United States | US.
- Export a JSON file after you finish a quiz you want to keep, because browser storage can be cleared.
- Switch on both shuffles before you play a quiz you wrote, so you learn the answers and not the order.
