Question paper generator

How a paper gets built

1. 1.Set the shape of the paper first

   Add the sections you want and give each one a target mark total and a number of questions. A Section A of thirty multiple choice items and a Section B of structured questions worth forty marks is three fields, not an afternoon.

2. 2.Choose the topics, and rule out the ones you have not taught

   Topics are included or excluded per section. If your class has not reached the geometry strand yet, exclude it and the paper is set without it.

3. 3.Generate, then edit what you disagree with

   You get the full paper on screen in about a minute. Replace a question you do not like, delete one, or edit the wording in place. Nothing is exported until you are happy with it.

4. 4.Export the paper and the scheme together

   Two PDFs, the question paper and its marking scheme, ready to print or to send to a colleague.

Question types it sets

Multiple choice

Four options with a single keyed answer, the format KPSEA uses throughout.

Structured questions

Sub-parts with their own marks, and answer space sized to the marks allocated.

Comprehension passages

A passage followed by the questions set on it, in English and Kiswahili.

Cloze tests

A gapped passage with numbered blanks, scored as separate items.

Compositions and insha

Ruled writing space sized for the mark allocation, not a fixed box.

Mathematics

Fractions, geometry diagrams and images rendered properly, with working space on the page.

Read real questions from the bank, by grade and topic

The marking scheme is not a separate job

Every paper exports with a scheme that matches it question for question, so the teacher marking Stream B is working from the same answers as the one who set it.

Common questions

Can I control how many marks each section is worth?

Yes. Each section carries a target mark total and a question count, and questions are picked to meet it.

Will two classes get the same paper?

Only if you want them to. Generating again draws a different set of questions from the bank, so parallel streams can sit different papers on the same topics.

Does it lay the paper out the way KNEC does?

Yes. Two-column layout, dedicated answer space, the school header with double borders, and the footer conventions used on national papers, including the last printed page notice.

Can I edit a question after it is generated?

Yes. Every question can be replaced, deleted or edited in place before you export, and the marking scheme follows your edits.

What if I want to see the questions first?

The practice pages carry thousands of the same questions with their marking schemes, free to read, so you can judge the bank before you create an account.
