Keep useful exam questions in one place
Teachers often keep good questions in old exam papers, notebooks, or separate files. Finding a suitable question for a chapter test can take longer than expected, especially when the answer or marking notes are stored somewhere else.
InstiKit's school question bank keeps questions and their supporting details together. Teachers can organise material by course, subject, and topic, then find it again when preparing a class test, revision exercise, or school exam.
Organise questions around the curriculum
Assign each question to the relevant course and subject, with a topic where needed. The question list can be filtered by these details, as well as question type, difficulty level, and status.
For example, a teacher preparing a fractions test can look for questions under the relevant mathematics topic instead of searching through an entire year's papers.
Use the question types your teachers need
The question bank supports:
- Multiple choice questions with one correct answer or several correct answers.
- True or false questions.
- Numerical fill in the blank questions, with units or an accepted answer range where required.
- Match the column questions.
- Subjective questions with an expected answer, answer keywords, and a word limit.
- Case based questions with a passage and related questions.
Teachers can add marks, an explanation, and a solution to a question. Keeping these details alongside the question makes it easier to understand how it should be used and assessed.
Record difficulty and learning skills
Questions can carry a difficulty level, a Bloom's taxonomy level, and an assessed skill. Bloom's taxonomy describes the kind of thinking a question asks for, such as remembering a fact or applying an idea.
These details help teachers review the balance of their assessment material. A question can also be marked as competency based or identified as a previous year question.
Prepare for future assessments
As teachers add questions, the school builds a subject library that can be referred to across assessment cycles. Clear question text, answers, and topic details make that library more useful to the next teacher preparing a test.
The question bank sits alongside exam schedules, marks entry, and report cards within the school's exam module.
