Ask any teacher what eats their weekends and you will hear the same answer: not the teaching, the paperwork around it. And near the top of that pile sits the humble class test.
It sounds small. It is not. You need questions on exactly what you taught, at the right level, that the class has not already seen. You need the diagram to print properly. You need the marks to add up. Then you need a marking key. By the time it is done, the evening is gone.
We built the Stadira Test Maker because we have been there.
The idea is simple
You tell it what you taught. It gives you a finished test paper, in the style of the real examination, with the marking key beside it. About five minutes, start to print.
You can pick every question yourself, or press Build a paper for me and let it put a balanced paper together. Either way you stay in charge: change the wording, swap a question, add one of your own. Then put your school’s name on the cover and download it in Word or PDF.
What changes for you
You get your time back. The test for Monday is ready in your free period on Friday, and Sunday evening belongs to you again.
Your tests are fresh. The questions are not lifted from past papers, so nobody has seen them and nobody can look them up.
Marking is quicker and fairer. The marking key comes with the paper, so you and your colleagues mark the same way.
Your students practise the real thing. The paper looks and reads like the examination they are preparing for, so exam day holds fewer surprises.
You can test little and often. When a test takes five minutes to set, a quick check after every topic becomes possible, and you find the gaps while there is still time to close them.
Who it is for
Teachers of IGCSE Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry and Biology, and BGCSE Mathematics, can use it today. BGCSE Science Double Award is next, with IGCSE Computer Science, Business Studies and Economics on the way.
What it costs
You can start free, with three papers every month. If it earns its place in your week, Teacher Pro gives you as many papers as you need for $7 a month (P90 in Botswana), and a school licence covers every teacher in the school. You can pay by card or PayPal, and in Botswana by bank transfer or Orange Money (DuelaEasy Merchant ID 223124, Jodalin Pty Ltd).
