What good looks like.

What it must include

Criteria

01Items aligned to objectives/standard at the requested difficulty — the quiz actually measures what was taught, not random trivia.
02Varied formats (MC, short answer, matching, constructed response) appropriate to the content — the quiz is not all multiple choice because it is easy to grade.
03Clear answer key with explanations or scoring guidance — the teacher can grade consistently and students can learn from the key.
04Distractors that are plausible and reveal common misconceptions — the wrong answers are useful diagnostic information.
05Appropriate length and timing for the class period and the students — the quiz does not become a test of endurance.
06Accommodations or alternative versions noted for IEP/ELL students — the quiz is accessible without last-minute invention.

Signals of expertise

Quality

✦Aligns items tightly to the taught objectives and cognitive level — the quiz is an honest measure, not a gotcha.
✦Uses plausible distractors that diagnose misconceptions — the teacher learns from the errors, not just the scores.
✦Plans length and accommodations up front — the quiz is fair and doable in the time given.

Common mistakes

Pitfalls

×Items that do not match the taught content or level — students are surprised and the scores do not reflect learning.
×All multiple-choice with trivial or tricky distractors — the quiz measures test-taking more than understanding.
×No key or explanations — grading is inconsistent and students get no feedback on why they missed something.
