Choosing a great vocabulary quiz maker

What is a vocabulary test or quiz?

A vocabulary test or quiz is a measure of someone's understanding of the meaning of a selection of words. You can create a quiz to evaluate the width and depth of vocabulary that someone may have.

Vocabulary quizzes are often used in companies as part of the recruitment process to help identify the level of intelligence of prospective employees. Schools and universities will also use vocabulary assessments as part of their education program to help improve student's grammar.

Using a vocabulary test maker like FlexiQuiz is easy. You can create hundreds of tests for students at all levels to complete in the classroom or remotely.

This section will show you some of the types of tests that can be created with FlexiQuiz,

Matching words with images
With this question type, respondents must link images to the correct word. There are several ways to apply this with FlexiQuiz:
1. Display a mix of pictures and words and ask students to match the correct image to the relevant term. Create this question using our fill in the blanks question type.
2. Share a word or phrase and ask students to match this against a choice of images. We've created an example of this using our picture choice question type.
Match the word with the definitions
You share a word and offer several definitions or synonyms of which one is correct. Create this question using our single-choice or multiple-choice question types.
Identification
Students are shown one main word with a choice of three answer choices, they will need to correctly identify which is a synonym, antonym, or is not relevant. To create this the quiz maker would use the fill in the blanks question type.
Open-ended questions
You can share a word and ask students to write a definition or synonym for the term. Create this question using the essay question type, although it will need to be manually marked.
Fill the gaps
This question comes in the form of a sentence, and the respondent needs to guess the missing word correctly. You can create this question using fill in the blanks or matching text. Students will also need to spell the word correctly based on the answer options that you provide. Or you can create a multiple-choice question so that students can pick from a choice of words.
Odd one out
Give students a list of words or phrases, and they have to correctly identify which one is not part of the group.

You can create this type of question using the single-choice question type.
