Zense AI can build a complete, HKDSE-aligned quiz from a topic — then you refine it in a powerful builder with an AI assistant.

The quiz builder supports everything from quick formative checks to full exam-style papers with multiple parts and question types.

Generate a quiz

AI generation is the fastest way to get a first draft — you can always edit every question afterwards.

1. Go to Assignments → New assignment → Quiz.
2. Set the basics: title, grade level, and topic (e.g. "Foundations of 9th-grade physics"). Optionally add standards (HKDSE, AP, Common Core) and attach reference files.
3. Adjust quiz settings: attempts allowed, time limit, due date, and the question mix (auto-graded vs AI-graded).
4. Click Generate — or Start from empty to build it yourself.

Edit in the builder

The builder gives you fine-grained control over every part of the paper, from section structure to individual rubrics.

The builder lets you shape every part of the paper:

• Parts — split the paper into sections; group parts so students pick one of several (choice groups).
• Questions — add single/multiple choice, true/false/NG, matching, open response, fill-in-the-blank, ordering, numeric, and more.
• Rubrics — set answer keys, exemplar responses, and AI grading criteria.
• Reading material — attach a passage to a part.

Edit with Chat

The AI assistant panel lets you draft, rephrase, and reorganize the quiz without leaving the builder.

Open the AI assistant panel to draft, rephrase, and reorganise the quiz. Try prompts like:

• "Add 3 MCQs about photosynthesis to Part A."
• "Rephrase the focused question for a younger audience."
• "Draft a rubric for the focused short-answer question."

Chat proposes changes; you Implement or Discard each one.

Advanced options

Advanced settings control shuffle behavior, point visibility, and when students see correct answers.

Shuffle questions or answer options, hide points during the attempt, allow late submission, and choose when correct answers are shown (never, after submit, after due date, or after feedback is released).

Publish & preview

Always preview as a student before publishing to catch formatting or wording issues.

• Preview as Student to check the experience.
• Download a student paper or an answer key as Word or PDF.
• Click Publish — students can open it once every part has at least one question. Then invite students with a share code or by adding them manually.
