Surprise tests

Decide at the door, have the paper in two minutes, have the marks tonight

Ask for a paper on today's topic, print the student version, and grade the pile after school.

A surprise test stops being a favour you do the class once a term and becomes something you can run whenever attention drifts.

How it works

  1. Ask for a paper

    Tell Proctor AI the topic, the class and the marks. It writes the questions, the marking key and a student version without answers. Edit any question before you print.

  2. Print or run it online

    Print the student version, or send a link and run it as a timed online test on phones if the lab is free.

  3. Grade the pile after school

    Upload the scanned sheets. Marks, a reason per answer, and a class summary are ready before you leave the building.

What it handles

  • A question paper on any topic in your syllabus, at the length you want
  • Printable student version and a separate marking key
  • Mixed papers: MCQs, short answers, numericals and diagrams on one sheet
  • Grading handwritten sheets or online submissions
  • A class summary with the question most students missed
  • Results shared privately to each student
  • Tests that count towards the term record, or tests that do not

Who uses it

Why surprise tests are rare, and how to make them routine

A good surprise test has three costs: writing a fair paper on the spot, printing it, and marking a full set of sheets that nobody budgeted time for. The first and last of those disappear when the paper and the marking are generated from the topic and your key. What remains is a two-minute print job.

Questions

Will the questions match what I actually taught?

Attach the pages or notes you taught from and the questions follow them. Without attachments, Proctor AI uses the topic and the board you set.

Can I edit a question before printing?

Yes. Every question, mark and key line is editable. The student version updates with your edits.

Can students sit the test on their phones instead?

Yes. Share the link and the test runs as a timed online exam with a live board for you.

Does a surprise test cost extra?

Building the paper is free. Grading each sheet is one grading from your allowance, the same as any other test.
