Testpaper
mySecondTeacher offers a unique feature where students and teachers can generate personalized test papers that cater to specific topics, question types, and difficulty levels. This feature makes it easy for teachers to create custom assessments that meet their teaching needs.
Whereas students can generate questions easily and test themselves according to the pace. Students can also download the test paper, attempt it, and then get feedback from their teachers.
Once generated, the test papers can be saved and edited in MS Word and shared directly with students. Each test paper is accompanied by its respective marking scheme (available for teachers only), ensuring accurate grading.
To make assessments even more challenging, teachers can choose to include questions from a secret question bank that is only accessible to them.
Test papers can be generated by both teachers and students.
