Coverage

One paper maker from primary to intermediate.

The screens stay the same whichever class you pick. What changes underneath is the question pool, the default marks scheme and the section structure the board expects at that level.

01

Secondary: 9th and 10th

Science and arts groups alike — physics, chemistry, biology, maths, computer, English, Urdu, Islamiat and Pakistan Studies. Run quick topic quizzes during the term, then switch to full-syllabus papers split into objective and subjective parts before the board exams arrive.

02

Higher secondary: 11th and 12th

Pre-medical, pre-engineering, ICS and commerce subjects, with the heavier long-answer sections and wider internal choice of intermediate papers.

03

Junior classes 1 to 8

Clean, uncluttered class tests and worksheets for younger students, printed in their section's medium.

Walkthrough

Inside the CTM paper generator: how a paper gets built

A good test takes thought; a well-formatted test mostly takes time. The CTM online paper generator from Creative Test Makers is meant to hand that formatting time back to you, so the effort goes into choosing the right questions. Below is a walkthrough of what happens at each stage, the formats and mediums on offer, and the practical details that make a printed paper work in a Pakistani classroom.

1. Start with the purpose, not the questions

Before opening the generator, be clear about what the paper has to measure. A topic quiz checks one idea while it is still fresh. A term exam samples a whole block of the syllabus. A pre-board paper is a dress rehearsal, so it should feel exactly like the board exam in length and structure. Once the purpose is fixed, the rest — scope, question count and marks — mostly decides itself.

2. Set the class, subject and medium

The first screen asks for three things. The class and subject load the matching syllabus and question pool. The medium controls the language of the printed paper: English, Urdu, or dual medium with each question shown in both. Choose the medium your students will face in the exam hall, because switching later changes line lengths and page breaks.

3. Narrow the scope to chapters or topics

This is where the Creative Test Maker paper generator differs from a generic quiz tool. The syllabus is listed chapter by chapter, and each chapter opens into its individual topics. Tick a whole chapter for a class test, or only two topics for a short quiz on the lesson you just finished. The narrower the scope, the more closely the test reflects what was actually taught.

4. Decide the question mix and marks

Board papers in Pakistan share a recognisable structure: a one-mark MCQ section, a short-answer section that usually lists more questions than students must attempt, and a long-answer section with internal choice. In the generator you set how many of each type to include and how much each is worth. Remember the attempt rule — if the instruction says "answer any six", you must print more than six.

Suggested paper structure by level
LevelCommon useSuggested structure
Classes 1–5Class test / worksheetFill-in-the-blanks, matching and a few simple short answers
Classes 6–8Term testBrief MCQ section, several short answers, one or two descriptive questions
9th–10thWeekly test to pre-boardMCQs, short answers with an attempt choice, a small set of long questions
11th–12thMid-term to pre-boardSeparate objective part plus a longer subjective part with broader choice

5. Pick questions — automatically or by hand

You can let the generator fill each section from the selected scope, or open the CTM question bank and pick questions one at a time. Most teachers do a bit of both: auto-fill first, then replace a question or two they want to emphasise. The bank mixes textbook exercises, conceptual questions and past board questions, so it is easy to balance recall against understanding. If something is missing, add your own question and it stays available for future papers.

6. Review the layout

Treat the preview as your proofreading copy. Check that the header shows the right school name, class and time allowed; that numbering is continuous; that each section's instruction line matches the attempt rule; and that no long question splits awkwardly across a page. Urdu text is set right to left and science formulas are typeset rather than pasted in as pictures, so they stay sharp after photocopying.

7. Print, save and reuse

When the paper looks right, print it or save it as a print-ready file. It is also stored in your paper library automatically. Next term you can reopen it, update a few questions and print again. Schools and academies with several sections can duplicate one master paper and shuffle the questions to produce different versions for each room.

Mediums supported

  • English medium — standard left-to-right layout for English-medium schools and O-level-style classes following the local syllabus.
  • Urdu medium — full right-to-left layout with proper Urdu script, suitable for government and Urdu-medium private schools.
  • Dual medium — every question printed in English and Urdu together, useful for mixed sections and for students moving between mediums.

Tips for a paper students can finish

  • Match marks to minutes. Allow time to read the paper and a few minutes to check answers before collecting it.
  • Spread the scope. Draw questions from across the selected chapters rather than from one exercise.
  • State the choice clearly. Put "attempt any…" at the top of every section that has one.
  • Mix difficulty. A few easy opening MCQs settle nerves; save the demanding long question for the end.
  • Don't recycle for retakes. Build a new version from the same scope so the retest measures learning, not memory.

Why a locally built paper maker matters

Most international test tools are designed for on-screen quizzes. Teachers here usually need something else: a printed paper that follows the local board pattern, shows the school's own heading, handles Urdu properly and still reads clearly after a cheap photocopy. That need is what Creative Test Maker was built around, and the CTM paper generator is the part of it you will use every week. If you teach several streams, the fields page lists every group and subject that is covered.

What is the CTM paper generator?+

It is the online paper maker from Creative Test Makers. You choose a class, subject, medium and the chapters or topics to test, and it assembles a board-pattern paper with MCQs, short and long questions that you can edit and print.

Do I need to install anything?+

No. It runs in the browser on a phone, tablet or computer. Prepare the paper anywhere and print it from any computer with a printer.

Can I test only one topic instead of a whole chapter?+

Yes. Selection works at both chapter and topic level, so a short quiz can cover a single topic while a term paper spans many chapters.

Which languages can papers be printed in?+

English medium, Urdu medium, or dual medium with every question in both languages. Urdu is set right to left and formulas stay intact.

Are past paper questions included?+

Yes. Past board questions sit alongside exercise and conceptual questions, so you can build a paper in real exam wording.

Open creativetestmakers.com/join and enter your WhatsApp number. The 15-day trial begins immediately and your login details arrive on WhatsApp.

Can I reuse a paper I made earlier?+
