Design your own exercises and tests

Our database contains thousands of multiple choice sentences, designed as drills on the main grammatical phenomena in the English language. This system offers you, as an English teacher, the possibility of instantly creating new exercises and tests for your students. Even if your students practise extensively on-line, the test or the exercise you give them in the classroom will be practically unknown to them.

Levels

To create an exercise, you first choose one of three levels. The division in levels of difficulty has not been an easy task. We believe that some grammatical rules need to be exercised continually. That is why you often find the same type of exercise at all three levels. In these cases, it is the lexical difficulty of the context sentence that has determined the overall level of difficulty of the drill.

Options

After deciding the level of difficulty for your test, you will have to choose between two main alternatives:
 
bullet A general exercise, where the number of sentences will be randomly generated from the whole database.
bullet A specified test, in which you have two options:
  1. to choose a number of sentences from one of the main categories (e.g. a certain number of sentences randomly generated from one of the sections verbs, nouns etc.
  2. to further specify a number of sentences from the subcategories (e.g. a certain number of sentences on irregular verbs, tags and passives, articles etc.

Preview

Having made your choice and clicked on the "Make general test" or "Make specified test" button, you will be shown a confirmation of the number of sentences from each category that your test will include. If you are not satisfied with the distribution of the sentences, you can generate a new test.

How to use the tests

The tests can be taken on-line or be printed for use in the classroom. If you choose to print the exercises and copy them for classroom use, you can also print the solutions by clicking on "Submit the test". Copying the printed solution into a transparent sheet, will enable you to correct a great number of exercises in a short time.
