Hi, a teacher and I have been looking for websites to take Math/Physics exercises from, put them together as a test, print it and pass it to students. I know there are many websites that give you tools to write your own exercises (mainly many LMSes).
But we'd like to pick exercises already made, according to some conditions, like topic, grade, question types etc.

Have you already used something like that before?
Thank you and be well

I've only seen this from publishers of textbooks, so you could check with the one you are using. But that would most probably involve $$$.

Some of the GRE prep books likely include such exercises, classed by different criteria, though not sure the type you look for. And they do include solutions.
 

1. What is the purpose of making a test based on online available exercises?

The purpose of making a test based on online available exercises is to assess the knowledge and understanding of a particular topic or subject. It allows individuals to practice and apply what they have learned from online exercises, and also helps to identify any areas that may need further improvement.

2. How can I find websites with online exercises to create a test?

There are several ways to find websites with online exercises, such as using search engines like Google or Bing, browsing through educational websites, or asking for recommendations from colleagues or teachers. It is important to carefully evaluate the credibility and relevance of the exercises before using them to create a test.

3. What factors should I consider when selecting online exercises for a test?

When selecting online exercises for a test, it is important to consider the level of difficulty, the relevance to the topic or subject, and the format of the exercises (e.g. multiple choice, fill-in-the-blank, etc.). It is also important to ensure that the exercises cover all the key concepts and objectives that you want to assess.

4. How can I ensure that the test based on online exercises is fair and effective?

To ensure that the test based on online exercises is fair and effective, it is important to clearly define the learning objectives and align them with the chosen exercises. Additionally, the test should have a mix of different types of questions and should be structured in a way that reflects the difficulty level of the exercises. It is also important to provide clear instructions and allow enough time for students to complete the test.

5. Are there any potential challenges or limitations when using online exercises to create a test?

One potential challenge when using online exercises to create a test is the reliability and accuracy of the information presented. It is important to carefully review and verify the exercises before using them in a test. Additionally, some students may have limited access to technology or may struggle with online assessments, so it is important to provide alternative options or accommodations.
