# Practice tests

> Build a test from your notes and sets, take it, and go through your marks.

A practice test asks you questions written from your own notes and study sets, so you can check you're ready before the real thing.

## Build a test

### Choose your material

Open [Tests](https://workroad.app/activities/tests) and choose **New test**. Under **Sources**, pick up to 10 notes and 10 study sets.

### Shape the test

Choose the **Question types** (**Multiple choice**, **True / false**, **Fill in the blank** and **Short answer**), how many **Questions**, and a **Time limit** if you want one.

### Build it

Choose **Build test**. WorkRoad's AI writes the questions, which counts as one [AI use](https://workroad.app/docs/plans). You can leave the page while it works.

## Take the test

Choose **Start test** and answer the questions. Your answers save as you go, so reloading or coming back later with **Resume test** loses nothing. Choose **Hand in** when you're done: you can't change answers after that. A timed test hands itself in when the time runs out.

To work on paper, **Print** the questions, with or without the answers.

## Your marks

Multiple choice, true/false and fill-in answers are marked as you hand in. WorkRoad's AI marks short answers, which is included in the test's AI use.

The results show each question with its answer and an explanation. Filter them to the ones you got **Wrong**, choose **Explain this** to ask the [copilot](https://workroad.app/docs/copilot) why, or **Retake wrong ones** to try just those again.

If AI marking can't finish, choose **Mark answers** and mark the short answers yourself with **I got it** or **I missed it**.
