Our quizzes are designed to check understanding, reveal where students are going wrong and why, and offer targeted support where it’s needed most.
We use Diagnostic Questions to uncover misconceptions, then offer tailored Interventions to help students resolve them 🚀
What is a topic quiz?
Topic quizzes are made up of 5 multiple-choice Diagnostic Questions. Each question targets a specific concept, and the wrong answer options are carefully chosen to reveal common misconceptions. This means when a wrong answer is chosen, we can inform you why students are going wrong.
Quizzes begin with the easiest question, then increase in difficulty as the quiz progresses. This helps us spot any early misconceptions before students move on to more complex questions. If a student struggles, Eedi responds instantly with targeted feedback and interventions to help them resolve the underlying misconception.
Watch a 2-minute video explaining how our quizzes are built, what makes a strong Diagnostic Question, and how they uncover misconceptions 👇
When a misconception has been identified, students receive intervention materials to address that very misconception. Our intervention materials are made up of teach videos with worked examples, thinking questions, your turn questions and fluency practice questions.
This short 90-second video explains how our intervention materials work to support students 👇

How quizzes work for students
All quizzes follow the same simple flow, guiding students from their first question through to resolving any misconceptions.
Here’s a short video showing the quiz flow from a student’s perspective 👇
The quiz flow is as follows:
1. Check-in
The student answers the first Diagnostic Question.
If they get it right, they move on.
If they get it wrong, they get a hint based on the answer they chose and a second go – their “Check-in retry”.
2. Intervention
If they get the "Check-in retry" (second attempt) wrong, they’re shown the correct answer and start a short, focused intervention.
Their intervention includes:
A short teaching video with a worked example.
4 free-text fluency questions, marking their own answers against Eedi’s solutions, with solution videos if they need more help.
3. Check-out
After the intervention, the student gets one more Diagnostic Question, similar to the one they got wrong earlier.
If they answer correctly, the misconception is marked as resolved.
If not, they get feedback and a final try (“Check-out retry”). A correct answer resolves the misconception; if not, it stays marked as unresolved.
Throughout the duration of the quiz, students have access to bite-sized topic videos, including a Worked Example, Thinking Questions, Your Turn & Explain the Mistake
Different quiz types
Aside from the topic quizzes mentioned above, Eedi offers a few different quiz types, each designed for a different purpose. Using a mix of them is the most powerful way to support your students - helping you prepare them for new topics, reinforce past learning, and stretch those ready for more.
Pre-requisite quizzes
Check whether your students have the essential skills before starting a new topic. Using our AI predictions, you can set a short 3-question quiz that’s tailored to individual students. If a misconception is found, we’ll step in with an intervention before the topic begins.
Retrieval Practice quizzes
Help students strengthen long-term retention by revisiting past learning at just the right time. These 7-question personalised quizzes draw on questions students have already seen, resurfacing them based on our spacing algorithm. You can set them to run weekly, fortnightly, or monthly, and Eedi will assign them automatically for you.

Stretch & Challenge quizzes
Push students who have mastered a topic with more challenging, open-response questions that they self-mark. Stretch & Challenge quizzes are available for every topic and can be taken immediately after a topic quiz or revisited later from the results page.
