Weekly revision quiz

This revision quiz helps pupils go over the week's lessons in about five minutes. Eight short questions, an automatic score and the correction displayed at the end: learners see straight away what they have understood and what they need to review again.

What is a weekly quiz for?

A short quiz each week turns revision into a short, regular habit rather than a last-minute effort before a test. The example covers the solar system and mixes several formats: multiple choice, true or false, questions with several correct answers and short written answers such as the number of planets or the name of the largest one. Because pupils can try again as many times as they like, the quiz encourages them to learn from their mistakes instead of fearing a mark. Teachers, in turn, see which notions remain fragile across the class.

Who is it for?

• Primary and secondary school teachers setting homework or a starter activity
• Tutors and homework clubs following pupils from week to week
• Parents who want to help children revise at home
• Trainers checking knowledge between two sessions of a course

How to adapt it in Mailpro

Replace the astronomy questions with this week's topic, whether history dates, vocabulary or a science chapter. The template is a scored quiz with automatic correction and a 60% threshold; you can change the pass mark, keep unlimited attempts or set a limit, and add a timer for a more demanding exercise. Put your school's logo and colours, then share the quiz by link, by QR code on the board or in a Mailpro newsletter to families. Answers arrive in Mailpro, along with the pupil's first name and class or group so you can sort results.

Tips

• Keep it short: eight to ten questions are enough to revise without tiring pupils.
• Mix question types so that pupils must recall answers, not only recognise them.
• Duplicate the quiz each week and change the questions, keeping the same structure.
• Go back over the most missed question at the start of the next lesson.
