Prompt Template

You are an experienced educator and assessment designer who creates rigorous, fair summative assessments. You understand Bloom's taxonomy, write questions at multiple cognitive levels, and know how to design tests that accurately measure student mastery. You create assessments that are clear, well-organized, and include appropriate grading criteria.

I need you to create a summative test covering the following subject and content. Include the topic, key concepts, chapters, or learning objectives the test should assess:

[SUBJECT_AND_CONTENT]

This test is for [GRADE_LEVEL:select:Elementary (K-2),Elementary (3-5),Middle School (6-8),High School (9-12),College/University,Professional Certification] students.

The test duration is [TEST_DURATION:select:20 minutes,30 minutes,45 minutes,60 minutes,90 minutes,120 minutes,180 minutes].

Include these question types: [QUESTION_TYPES:select:Multiple Choice and Short Answer,Multiple Choice and True/False and Short Answer,Multiple Choice and Matching and Short Answer,All types including Essay,Objective only (Multiple Choice and True/False and Matching),Written Response only (Short Answer and Essay)].

Standards or learning objectives to align with: [STANDARDS?]

Create a complete test following these requirements:

1. Design an appropriate number of questions for the time allowed. Estimate one minute per multiple choice or true/false question, two minutes per short answer, and five to ten minutes per essay depending on grade level.

2. Distribute questions across Bloom's taxonomy cognitive levels. For high school and above use approximately forty percent remembering and understanding, forty percent applying and analyzing, and twenty percent evaluating and creating. For elementary and middle school, increase the proportion of lower-level questions to sixty percent remembering and understanding, thirty percent applying and analyzing, and ten percent higher-order thinking.

3. Assign point values that reflect question difficulty and time required. Multiple choice and true/false should be one to two points each. Short answer should be three to five points. Essays should be ten to twenty points with clear rubric criteria.

4. Write clear, unambiguous questions. Avoid double negatives, absolutes, and trick questions. Each question should have one defensible correct answer or clear criteria for written responses.

5. Organize the test into labeled sections by question type. Include brief instructions at the start of each section explaining how students should respond.

6. Use vocabulary and complexity appropriate for the grade level while maintaining academic rigor.

Format your response as:

**[Test Title]**
**Subject:** [Subject name]
**Grade Level:** [Selected level]
**Time Allowed:** [Duration]
**Total Points:** [Sum of all question points]

---

**General Instructions:**
[Two to three sentences on test-taking procedures, materials allowed, and how to record answers]

---

**Part A: [Question Type]** ([Points for this section] points)
*Instructions: [How to complete this section]*

[Numbered questions with point value in parentheses after each question number]

---

**Part B: [Question Type]** ([Points for this section] points)
*Instructions: [How to complete this section]*

[Continue with additional sections as needed]

---

**Answer Key and Scoring Guide**

**Part A Answers:**
[Numbered answers with correct response and brief explanation where helpful]

**Part B Answers:**
[Continue for each section]

**Essay/Extended Response Rubric:**
[If the test includes essay questions, provide a clear rubric with point distribution for content accuracy, reasoning and analysis, organization, and conventions]

About Test Maker

Building balanced, fair assessments requires careful thought about what to test and how to test it. A good test measures real understanding across a range of cognitive levels, from basic recall through analysis and application.

This test maker generates complete assessments from your [SUBJECT_AND_CONTENT] description. Be as specific as possible: instead of "Chapter 5 Biology," write "Chapter 5 Biology: cellular respiration, ATP synthesis, electron transport chain, aerobic vs anaerobic pathways." Select the [GRADE_LEVEL] and specify your preferred [QUESTION_TYPES]. The more detail you provide, the more targeted and useful the test questions become.

The generator creates questions calibrated to your described content and distributes them across multiple formats. Include guidance on what cognitive levels to emphasize, such as "focus on application and analysis rather than pure recall" or "include 30% recall, 40% application, 30% analysis." Add optional standards alignment codes to ensure every question maps to specific learning objectives, making it easy to identify which standards students have mastered.

Use the Dock Editor to refine questions, adjust difficulty, and format your test for printing or digital distribution. Build a complete assessment cycle by creating scoring criteria with the Rubric Maker, reviewing student knowledge beforehand with the Quiz Maker, and reinforcing skills through the Worksheet Maker.

How to Use Test Maker

1

Copy and define content

Copy the test maker template into ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, or Dock Editor. Enter [SUBJECT_AND_CONTENT] with specific topics to cover (e.g., "Biology: cellular respiration, photosynthesis, and ATP production").

2

Set grade level and timing

Specify [GRADE_LEVEL] to calibrate question complexity and vocabulary. Set [TEST_DURATION] (e.g., 45 minutes, 90 minutes) so the generator creates an appropriate number of questions students can complete in the allotted time.

3

Choose question formats

List your preferred [QUESTION_TYPES] such as multiple choice, short answer, true/false, matching, and essay. The generator mixes these formats to assess different cognitive levels from recall to analysis.

4

Add standards alignment

Include [STANDARDS?] codes or descriptions to tie each question to specific learning objectives. This creates a built-in assessment map showing which standards each question measures.

5

Review and finalize

Check the generated test for accuracy, appropriate difficulty, and clear wording. Verify that [QUESTION_TYPES] are distributed evenly and that the total time required fits within your [TEST_DURATION]. Create an answer key for efficient grading.
