Checkfu quizzes adjust to each student. If a student keeps getting answers right, the questions get harder. If they’re struggling, the questions get easier. This shows what each student really knows, not just pass or fail.
How It Works
- The student starts the quiz (usually at medium difficulty)
- They answer a question
- Got it right? The next question is a little harder
- Got it wrong? The next question is a little easier
- The quiz ends when the student shows they understand the material, or when they hit the question limit
Difficulty Levels
Every question has a difficulty from 1 to 5:
| Level | What It Means |
|---|
| 1 | Basic. Simple recall or easy problems. |
| 2 | Below grade level. A bit harder than basic. |
| 3 | On grade level. Where most students should be. |
| 4 | Challenging. Needs deeper thinking. |
| 5 | Advanced. Above grade level. |
When the Quiz Ends
A quiz stops when one of these happens:
| What Happens | What It Means |
|---|
| Mastery | The student got several hard questions right in a row. They understand the material. |
| Target Reached | The student answered the target number of questions. |
| Max Questions | The student hit the max number of questions. |
| Student Ended | The student chose to stop early (if you allow this). |
Question Types
You can use two kinds of questions:
Multiple Choice
Students pick one answer from a list.
What is 7 x 8?
A) 54
B) 56 ← correct
C) 58
D) 64
Free Response
Students type their answer. This can be a number, a word, or a short sentence. AI grades these automatically when possible.
Adding Questions to a Quiz
Create Questions Yourself
- Open your lesson
- Go to the Quiz section
- Click Add Question
- Pick the question type
- Type the question and the correct answer
- Set the difficulty (1-5)
- Add concept tags (like “multiplication” or “main-idea”)
Let AI Create Questions
- Click Generate Questions
- AI looks at your lesson content, objectives, and sources
- It creates questions at different difficulty levels
- Review each question and change anything you need
Make sure you have questions at every difficulty level (1 through 5). This is what makes the quiz able to adapt. If all your questions are the same difficulty, the quiz can’t adjust.
Question Settings
Every question can have:
| Setting | What It Does |
|---|
| Difficulty | 1 (easiest) to 5 (hardest) |
| Concept Tags | What skill this question tests (like “fractions” or “vocabulary”). Used to find gaps. |
| Hints | Clues students can ask for when stuck |
| Explanation | Shown after the student answers. Explains why the answer is correct. |
| Points | How much this question is worth |
Quiz Settings
You control how the quiz works:
| Setting | What It Does | Default |
|---|
| Target Questions | How many questions to aim for | 5 |
| Max Questions | The most questions a student will see | 10 |
| Mastery Threshold | How many right answers in a row means mastery | 2 |
| Mastery Difficulty | What difficulty level counts for mastery | 4 |
| Allow Early Exit | Let strong students finish early | No |

What Students See After the Quiz
After finishing, students see:
- Their overall score
- Which questions they got right and wrong
- Which skills they’ve mastered
- Which areas need more practice
- A button to retake the quiz (if you allow retakes)
Gap Analysis
As students answer questions, Checkfu tracks how they do on each skill (using the concept tags you added). This shows you:
- Which skills the student has mastered
- Which skills need more work
- Common mistakes across your whole class
This helps you know what to review or reteach.
What You See as the Teacher
For each quiz, you can see:
- How each student did
- How difficulty changed during the quiz (did it go up or stay low?)
- Common wrong answers across your class
- How long students spent on each question
- Which concepts are hardest for your students
