In Google Classroom

Post a quiz to Google Classroom, step by step

There is no separate app to install. The button uses Google's own Share to Classroom page.

  1. 1

    Make or open a quiz in AI Quiz Maker and check the questions (any flagged answers first).

  2. 2

    Click Share. In the Share with your class window, turn on sharing if it is off, then set the link options you want (listed below).

  3. 3

    Click Share to Google Classroom. Google opens its share page in a new tab; sign in with your school Google account if asked.

  4. 4

    In Choose class, pick the class, then choose what to create (an assignment, material, a question or an announcement). The quiz link is already attached.

  5. 5

    Add instructions and a due date as usual and post it. Students click the link in Classroom and start the quiz.

  6. 6

    Open the quiz's results page in AI Quiz Maker to see each student's score and answers as they finish.

Link settings you can set before posting

Student names
Don’t ask, Optional or Required. Students type a name; there is no sign-in.
Show answers
After each question, At the end, or Never (score only).
Attempts per device
Unlimited, or 1, 2, 3, 5 or 10.
Stop accepting responses at
A closing date and time; the link stops taking answers after it.
Password (optional)
At least 4 characters; students type it once per device.
Shuffle question order / Shuffle answer choices
Each student gets a different order on every attempt.
Reset link
Makes a new link and stops the old one; results you already have are kept.

How the quiz reaches your class

Google lets any website offer a Share to Classroom button. When you click it, Google asks you to sign in with your school account, shows a Choose class menu, and creates a post in that class with the link attached: an assignment, material, a question or an announcement, whichever you pick. AI Quiz Maker uses that button rather than asking for access to your Google account or your class lists. Nothing in Classroom is read or changed except the one post you create yourself.

Students then open the link from Classroom like any other attachment. They do not need an AI Quiz Maker account and they do not sign in with Google to take the quiz. If you want names on the results, set Student names to Required and they type a name before starting. For younger students, Optional or Don’t ask keeps it to one click.

What marks itself, and where the results go

Every question type in AI Quiz Maker is marked automatically on the link: multiple choice, multiple answer, true/false, short answer, fill in the blank, matching and ordering. Typed answers are compared with some tolerance for capitals, punctuation and small typos (numbers must match exactly), and maths typed as x^2 is matched against x². Each question carries an explanation that students see at the point you choose: after each question, at the end, or never.

Results come back to AI Quiz Maker, not to Classroom. The results page lists each student with their score and shows which questions the class missed most, so you can reteach the right thing the next day. Classroom holds the post and the link, but it does not receive a score. If you want points in the Classroom gradebook, type them in from the results page, or use a Google Forms quiz for that assignment as described below.

Google Forms or a quiz link: an honest comparison

Google Forms quizzes have one thing this link cannot do: when a Forms quiz is the only attachment on a Classroom quiz assignment and grade importing is turned on, Classroom can pull the scores straight into its gradebook. Google's help article lists the conditions: one response per student, email addresses collected, students in your domain. If an automatic grade in Classroom matters most, use Forms for that assignment.

Where AI Quiz Maker helps is everything before the grade. You can generate the quiz from a topic, pasted notes, a PDF, a photo of a page or a web link, or turn an existing worksheet into a quiz without the questions being rewritten. A second AI model re-solves the generated questions and flags any answer key it disagrees with. Students get an explanation for every question, the link works for students outside your Google domain, such as tutoring clients or a visiting class, and the results page groups the class’s mistakes by question.

You do not have to choose once and for all. Some teachers generate and check the questions here, post the link for practice and homework, and move the questions into a Google Form for the one graded assessment that needs to land in the gradebook. The Form Builder CSV above is the route for that; it carries multiple-choice and true/false questions.

Printing and other routes

The same quiz downloads as a PDF or Word document, with or without the answer key, for students without a device or for a supply teacher. If your school also uses a game platform, the export menu writes files for Kahoot, Quizizz, Quizlet, Blooket, Gimkit and Socrative. Each export is a separate copy: later edits in AI Quiz Maker do not follow it.

Posting to Classroom, the link settings and every export format are available on the free plan, which includes 20 AI quiz generations in total, up to 15 questions each. Pro adds a monthly allowance of 300 AI generations and longer quizzes, for $10 a month or $72 a year.

Google Forms

If you need it in Google Forms: the Form Builder CSV

Google Forms has no file import of its own; its Import questions button copies questions from another Google Form. The way in from a file is a third-party Google Sheets add-on. In the quiz editor choose Download / Export → CSV → Form Builder to get a file ending in _formbuilder.csv, laid out for the Form Builder for Sheets add-on: one row per question, choices side by side.

Columns in the Form Builder CSV
ColumnWhat it holds
QuestionThe question text.
TypeAlways Multiple Choice (true/false questions become a two-choice question).
Choice 1 – Choice 4The first four answer choices; True and False for true/false questions.
Correct AnswerThe text of the right choice.
PointsAlways 1.

A two-question example

Question,Type,Choice 1,Choice 2,Choice 3,Choice 4,Correct Answer,Points
"Which planet is closest to the Sun?","Multiple Choice","Venus","Mercury","Earth","Mars","Mercury","1"
"The Moon produces its own light.","Multiple Choice","True","False","","","False","1"

Question types

  • Multiple choice: Included, first four choices.
  • True / false: Included as a two-choice multiple-choice question.
  • Multiple answer, short answer, fill in the blank, matching, ordering: Left out of the CSV.

Build the form from the CSV

  1. 1

    In Google Sheets, create a new spreadsheet and use File → Import → Upload to open the _formbuilder.csv file.

  2. 2

    Go to Extensions → Add-ons → Get add-ons, install Form Builder for Sheets (by Jivrus) and start it from the Extensions menu.

  3. 3

    Choose the sheet, keep the range as Full, and pick the Quiz pattern.

  4. 4

    Map the columns: Questions = column A, Types = column B, Starting Answer = column C, Ending Answer = column F. Set the correct answers and points where the add-on asks for them, using columns G and H.

  5. 5

    Click GET, choose an existing form or Create a new one, use Preview to check the questions and answers, then Import Selected.

What doesn't carry over

  • Scores do not sync to the Classroom gradebook. Classroom only holds the post and the link.
  • There is no class-roster import: students type a name if you ask for one, and are not matched to their Google accounts.
  • The Form Builder CSV carries multiple-choice and true/false questions only, with the first four choices and 1 point each. Explanations are not included.
  • Form Builder for Sheets is a third-party add-on with its own plans and limits; it is not made by Google or by AI Quiz Maker.
  • A Google Form made from the CSV is a copy. Edits and results there stay in Google Forms.

Questions about Google Classroom

Got questions? We've got answers.

Open the quiz, click Share, then Share to Google Classroom. Google's share page opens; choose the class, choose to create an assignment, material, question or announcement, and post it. Students open the link from Classroom.

No. Students open the link and start. You can ask them to type their name (optional or required), add a password, limit attempts per device and set a closing date.

No. Results appear on the quiz's results page in AI Quiz Maker. Classroom receives the post with the link, not a score. Enter grades by hand, or use a Google Forms quiz with grade importing for assignments that must be graded in Classroom.

Indirectly. Export Download / Export → CSV → Form Builder, open the file in Google Sheets and build the form with the third-party Form Builder for Sheets add-on. Multiple-choice and true/false questions carry over; other types do not.

For practice, homework and checks for understanding, yes: it generates the questions, checks the answer key, marks every question type and explains the answers. For an assessment whose grade must import into Classroom automatically, Google Forms is the better fit.

No. Sharing to Classroom works on the free plan, which includes 20 AI quiz generations in total. Pro costs $10 a month or $72 a year.
