Hello teachers!
You asked to be able to assign quizzes and unit tests, and now you can! Thanks to feedback from teachers like you, we’ve added this new feature so you can be more responsive to your students.
The three most popular ways to use Khan Academy’s tests and quizzes:
#1. Formative assessment in the middle of a unit
#2. Pre-test before starting a unit
#3. Prep for a test
Assigned quizzes and unit tests come with the same simple but powerful reporting we provide for exercises and are available across grades and subjects.

How do you assign a test or quiz?
Step 1: Navigate to the quiz or test that you want to assign.
Step 2. Start the quiz or test. The assignment toolbar will appear; you can choose the class, students, and due date for the quiz or test.
The quiz will show up in your assignments list with the other material you’ve assigned to the class.
