Make a practice test from your notes
Check what you can explain before your college exam. Build a test from your material and review every marked question.
How it works
Create a study set from notes, a PDF or slides, then open Test. Clevaly builds a fresh quiz with distractors from your other terms, you pick question types and length, every question is marked and written answers can be AI graded. Ask Cleva for practice questions and they open in Test.
Get started in 3 steps
- 1

- 3
Read the results question by question
Every question is marked. Review written-answer grading and return to the material you need to explain more clearly.
AI grading for written answers
Written answers can be AI graded, alongside the marking for every question. Use that feedback to identify what to revisit, and check any uncertain marking against your course material. AI grading can make mistakes; it is a study aid rather than a course grade.
Ask Cleva for practice questions
Ask Cleva for practice questions about the class or topic you are studying. The resulting practice questions open in Test so you can answer and review them there.
Review questions in your course files
Use the review questions in a lecture file as a checklist for what to practice. Compare your test results with those questions and revisit the original notes or slides when an explanation is incomplete.
An exam-week plan you can repeat
Work through one topic, make a practice test, review the marked answers, and return to the source material for the gaps. Repeat for the next topic. If you want an outline alongside your questions, build a study guide.
Keep the course material with the class
Read-only sync from Moodle, Canvas and Brightspace brings course files into Clevaly. Start from that material when you make a study set. See course files to flashcards for the sync workflow.
Study the same set in four ways

|---|---|
| Flashcards | Review a term, then reveal its definition. |
| Learn | Practice the terms in your set. |
| Test | Check your understanding with a practice test. |
