How to create quiz, test, and assessment questions

Learn how to use Monsha’s AI-powered Question Generator to quickly create customized, engaging, and standards-aligned assessments.

Written by Piash

Monsha's Question Generator lets you instantly create quizzes, tests, and assessments from any source — your own topics, files, links, videos, or existing Monsha resources. You can fine-tune question types, difficulty, grade level, and educational framework so the assessment fits your class.

Follow these steps to create your questions:

Step 1: Log into Monsha

  • Sign up or log in using your email address. It takes just two clicks.

Step 2: Select the Question Generator tool

Once logged in, choose Questions from the resource options. This is your tool for creating quizzes, tests, and assignments, with options for both open-ended and closed-ended questions.

If you want to create reading passage questions instead, choose the Reading Comprehension Questions tool.

Step 3: Add your requirements and sources

Now it's time to set up your assessment.

1. Describe what you want. Type your prompt, topic, or instructions into the main field. Keep it natural — Monsha is context-driven and will fill in the gaps from your sources.

You can also reuse a past prompt: click the History button next to Attach to open your Prompt History and pick anything you've run before.

2. Add as many sources as you need. Click the Attach dropdown to add:

  • Video — drop in a YouTube link and Monsha will use the transcript.

  • File — upload docs, slides, spreadsheets, or images.

  • Website — link to articles, PDFs, blog posts, textbooks, or any URL.

  • Text — paste in any text excerpt.

  • Monsha Resource — reuse a lesson plan, presentation, worksheet, or anything else you've already created in Monsha.

You can combine multiple sources — for example, a textbook PDF, a YouTube video, and a topic you type in — for richer, more grounded assessments.

3. Set the question count and types. Pick how many questions you want, then choose one or more Question types:

  • Essential Questions

  • Multiple Choice Questions (MCQ)

  • Fill in the Blank Questions

  • True/False Questions

  • Short Answer Questions

  • Open-ended Prompts

  • Essay Questions

  • Critical Thinking Questions

  • Situational Judgement Questions

  • Other (write your own)

4. Pick your grade level and language.

The Grade picker is organized by education system, so you can choose the level that matches your context — not just a US grade number. Pick from:

  • United States / Canada

  • United Kingdom

  • Australia

  • India / South Asia

  • IB

  • Cambridge

  • Age-Based

  • University / Tertiary

Each option opens a sub-list with the specific levels for that system (e.g., University / Tertiary → Postgraduate → Masters).

For Language, Monsha supports 60+ languages — pick whichever your class needs.

5. Search the web for fresh context (optional). Toggle on Web search (next to the Generate button) to let Monsha pull in current information from the internet while generating your questions. Useful for current events, recent research, or topics where your sources alone aren't enough.

6. Fine-tune with Configure Resource (optional). Click Configure Resource to open the Questions Configuration modal. From here you can:

  • Set the total number of questions (up to 50 per resource).

  • Pick one or more difficulty levels — Very Easy, Easy, Moderate, Difficult, Very Difficult. Combine levels for a mixed-difficulty assessment.

Step 4: Align and fine-tune your resource (optional)

Click More Options to make the resource fit your curriculum:

  • Attach to course — organize the questions under a specific course, unit, or lesson for seamless curriculum alignment.

  • Assign standards — choose from built-in standards (Common Core, NGSS, IB, and more), or enter your own custom standards.

  • Adapt to framework — fine-tune your questions using Bloom's Taxonomy, Lexile Reading Levels, or Depth of Knowledge (DOK) Levels.

This step is optional — you can skip it and add alignment later if you prefer.

Click Generate, and Monsha will create your questions.

What can you do after generating your questions?

Once Monsha generates your questions, the resource page gives you a few different ways to extend, edit, and share what you've made.

1. Chat with your content

Keep the conversation going. Use the chat bar at the bottom of the page to ask Monsha to revise the questions, generate follow-up items, adapt the assessment for different groups, or explore new question ideas — all in a continuous thread, just like ChatGPT.

A few useful affordances live inside the chat bar:

  • Attach — drop in another source (file, URL, video, etc.) mid-conversation.

  • Quick prompts — pre-written prompt suggestions tailored to your assessment, including Make it engaging, Create another variation, Focus more on…, Add more, Reduce, Difficulty (Simplify / Make it harder / etc.), Add visuals, and Change tone.

  • Globe icon — toggle web search on for the next message so Monsha can pull current information from the internet to inform its reply.

2. Edit and enhance

Click Edit in the top-right of the content card to open Monsha's rich-text editor. You can rewrite, restructure, or add multimedia inline:

  • Headings, paragraphs, dividers, code blocks, and block quotes

  • Bulleted, numbered, to-do, and toggle lists

  • Tables, table of contents, and math equations

  • Images and other media

Save your changes with the Save button (or Cancel to discard).

3. Take action on the whole resource

The content card has three top-right controls:

  • Edit — opens the rich-text editor described above.

  • Export — opens the Export Resource picker (see below).

  • More — a dropdown with: Copy (copy the content), Create more resources based on this output (spin off new resources from this one), Differentiate (translate or adapt the resource — see below), Show sources (review the sources Monsha used), and Delete.

The top header card also has its own More menu with two options:

  • See Prompt — view the exact prompt and settings that produced the resource.

  • Create based on this — start a new resource using this one as the template.

Tap the ? icon next to the title to launch a quick interactive tour of the page if you ever need a refresher.

4. Differentiate teaching resources

Open More → Differentiate on the content card to create multiple versions of your assessment for diverse learners:

  • Translate the question set into any of the 60+ supported languages.

  • Adjust Grade Level for a different age group.

  • Adjust DOK Level for more or less cognitive demand.

  • Adjust Lexile Reading Level to match different reading abilities.

  • Adapt to Bloom's Taxonomy to target a specific level of thinking.

5. Export your resource

Click Export to open the Export Resource picker. Depending on the resource type, you can export to:

  • Documents — Google Docs, DOCX, PDF

  • Quiz / form platforms — Google Forms, Kahoot, Quizizz, Quizlet, Blooket, Gimkit, Socrative

  • LMS — Google Classroom, Canvas, Schoology

For platform exports (Kahoot, Quizizz, etc.), Monsha follows up with a "Read Instructions" helper modal that walks you through uploading your file to that platform.

6. Share the resource

Click Share in the top-right of the header card to open the Share Resource modal. From there you can:

  • Copy a shareable link to send to colleagues or students.

  • Toggle on public discovery to let the resource be indexed and discovered by other teachers.

  • Share via email — enter one or more email addresses and an optional message, and Monsha will send the link directly.

Your assessments stay securely stored in your Monsha account, ready to use and update whenever you need them.
