About this formative assessment

Formative assessment is about feedback during learning, not a grade at the end. Quiz Maker turns your lesson content into quick, low-stakes checks you can run mid-unit — the data tells you whether to move on or reteach, while there’s still time to adjust.

  1. 1. How does formative assessment differ from summative assessment?

    • It happens during learning to guide teaching
    • It only happens at the end of a course
    • It always counts toward a grade
    • It cannot be a quiz

    Answer: It happens during learning to guide teaching

    Formative checks inform instruction in real time; summative checks measure final outcomes.

  2. 2. True or False: A good formative quiz should be low-stakes.

    • True
    • False

    Answer: True

    Low stakes encourage honest performance, giving you accurate data on understanding.

How to write a great formative assessment

  • Keep stakes low so results reflect real understanding, not test anxiety.
  • Act on the data — reteach or regroup based on what the quiz reveals.
  • Run checks frequently in small doses rather than one big assessment.
