About this template
Teaching that ignores what students already know wastes the first weeks on two fronts: advanced learners disengage, and gaps go unfixed. This quiz runs a scored diagnostic before instruction: you set questions, options, correct answers and marks, the sheet auto-scores on submission, and the AI PDF report shows which topics each student holds and which need reteaching - a per-student picture instead of one class average.
