TestQuick is an AI-powered testing platform and generative toolkit designed for educators to create, administer, and grade exams with ease. It leverages artificial intelligence to generate unique and customizable test questions, provides auto-grading assistance, and offers an intuitive platform for managing tests and tracking student performance.
- Test Builder: Build tests with the help of AI, customize questions, and adjust test length and difficulty.
- Testing Portal: Secure online test-taking environment with accessibility customizations and helper widgets.
- Assisted Grading: Auto-grade feature suggests scores and feedback for student responses, streamlining the grading process.
- Admin Platform: Intuitively manage exams, administer tests, and view performance metrics for exams and students.
TestQuick was tested with 43 students in Laney College's CIS27 class. The experiment aimed to collect data on sentiment surrounding AI in the classroom, measure the effectiveness of AI models in generating test questions and grading student responses, and assess the usefulness of the TestQuick UI compared to a chat interface.
Average rating: 7.80/10, indicating generally accurate and relevant questions.
Average rating: 7.74/10, showing varied opinions on auto-grading accuracy and AI feedback helpfulness.
Average rating: 7.60/10, suggesting generally positive sentiment toward the "hints" feature.
Average rating: 8.16/10, demonstrating broadly positive opinions on the platform's appearance, ease of use, intuitiveness, professionalism, and accessibility.

TestQuick aims to expand into a full learning management system (LMS) and online classroom with an AI toolkit for teachers and an AI tutoring portal for students. The project will be open-sourced to promote transparency, collaboration, and further innovation from the community. Additionally, grant funding will be pursued to establish local GPU clusters and AI inference servers in Bay Area schools, enabling high-performance, low-latency AI assistance without reliance on cloud providers.
Thank you to everyone who participated in the TestQuick experiment, more information about the evolution of this software will be announced soon.
