## Direct answer

Formative assessment is a set of short, low-stakes checks of understanding that teachers use during a unit to decide what to teach next. With QuizRise, a teacher makes a quiz from the material they just taught, shares it with the class, sees which questions were missed and who needs help, then reteaches and checks again with a second attempt or a new quiz.

## Key facts

- Reports show the score distribution, accuracy and time for each question, and each student's answers.
- Quizzes can be made from slides, PDFs, documents, web pages, YouTube videos, and recordings.
- Printable quizzes with a separate answer key support checks without student devices.
- Teachers can allow one attempt or many to recheck after reteaching.
