Manual quiz editor
The rayQuiz editor lets you write a whole test as text, with a short syntax for each question type. The preview shows exactly what students will see.
Getting started
Select Create New Quiz, enter the title and duration, then choose "Write from scratch". The other two options, AI drafting and Word import, open their results in the same editor.
Basic syntax
- Each question starts with
# Q1:followed by the question text. - Options are written
[A],[B],[C],[D]; the correct answer has a*in front. - An explanation goes on a
* Explain:line under the question; students see it after submitting if the teacher allows. - The Syntax button (shortcut Alt + H) opens templates for every question type; insert one into the quiz with a single click.
