Draft 5 questions for new support staff

Replace the sample procedure with your organization's approved instructions before using this prompt.

Create 5 multiple-choice questions in English for new customer support staff. Give each question 4 options and exactly 1 correct answer. Focus on what information to collect and what to do next.

Use only this procedure: When a support request arrives, record the problem and when it occurred. Ask the customer for any missing information. Confirm the problem description with the customer before referring the request to the responsible team. Do not promise a completion time unless that team has confirmed it.

Use short, clear scenarios. Do not invent policies beyond this procedure. For each question, identify the correct answer and explain it using the procedure.

The prompt specifies the audience, number of questions, format, and permitted source material. That gives you a clear basis for checking whether the generated questions match the lesson.

This is a sample prompt for NineQuiz, not a newly generated AI response.

01 · When to use it

When can AI help you write questions?

You need a first draft on a topic

You know what learners need to review but have no questions yet. State the topic, level, and learning objective to get a starting set of questions.

You already have lesson material

Provide a lesson extract or document so the questions follow that source. For reading comprehension, ask AI to suggest true/false questions, then check each statement against the passage.

Choose another format when…

You already have questions and just want to bring them into NineQuiz. Import them, check the result, and save reusable questions in Question Bank. Generating new questions and importing existing ones are different tasks.

02 · Choose an approach

Choose the right tab in the AI window

NineQuiz uses the tabs Prompt, Document, and “Paste to import.” Here is what each one is for.

01

Prompt: describe the questions you need

Use this to describe the topic, audience, and assessment you want to create. You can also include a short passage as source material.

How to set it up
Choose Prompt, set the number and type of questions, enter a specific request like the example above, and select the send icon.
Keep in mind

“Create English questions” is too vague. Add the learners' level, the structure to practice, and the material the questions should cover.

02

Document: use your lesson material

Use an existing lesson, guide, or document as the source. Paste the text or select a file using the + icon.

How to set it up
Choose Document, set the number and type of questions, and paste the source text or attach a file. Check the source before sending.
Keep in mind

Remove personal information, confidential material, and irrelevant data before sending. Only use documents you have permission to use.

03

Paste to import: bring in existing questions

Use this when you have already written the questions and answers and want to import them, rather than ask AI to write new ones.

How to set it up
Choose “Paste to import,” select the appropriate question type, and paste your questions. Review the imported questions and answer keys in the editor.
Keep in mind

Importing does not add new subject knowledge or automatically fix every issue. You still need to check formulas, options, and answers.

03 · Step-by-step guide

How to create questions with AI in NineQuiz

Choose Prompt or Document to follow the creation and review process. To use these questions in an assessment, see the Online Exams guide for time limits, participant access, and result settings.

Select a step to see the AI window or the sample question used to demonstrate review.

Describe the questions you need. The example includes a short procedure to define what information AI may use.

In the quiz editor, open the AI tool and select Prompt. This is where you describe what you want, such as questions that help new staff review a support procedure.

What to check

Make sure you are writing a generation prompt, not importing an existing question set.

Use Prompt to describe the questions you want.

04 · Practical examples

Three practical ways to use AI when writing a quiz

Each scenario includes a question, answer, and suggestions for adapting it to your classroom or workplace.

01

English practice: focus on one grammar pattern

English learners are practicing the simple present with she.

Sample question
Sample prompt: Create 5 single-answer questions for beginners learning the simple present. Put one blank in each sentence, use she as the subject, and use familiar vocabulary.
Answer / grading criteria

Sample question: She ___ to school every day. Answer: goes.

Why use this question?

Specifying the structure and level is more useful than simply asking for English questions. This example tests the -s ending used with she.

Adapt it to your quiz

Include the vocabulary your class has learned. Check the grammar, ensure there is exactly one correct answer, and remove overly difficult words. After editing, put a small set into Quick Quiz for a quick review of the lesson.

02

Staff training: start with an approved procedure

New staff are learning how to record and refer support requests.

Sample question
A customer reports an error but has not said when it happened. What should the support agent do next?
  • AAsk when the error occurred
  • BPromise to fix it within 5 minutes
  • CForward the request immediately without asking
  • DEnd the conversation
Answer / grading criteria

Ask the customer when the error occurred.

Why use this question?

The procedure requires recording when the error happened and asking for missing information. Promising a deadline or forwarding the request immediately does not follow the source.

Adapt it to your quiz

Use Document to provide the approved procedure. Match each answer to a specific step in that document. If learners should explain their reasoning rather than select an option, add manually graded short-answer questions.

03

Existing questions: import instead of generating

A teacher has a complete question set in a document.

Sample question
A test lasts 90 minutes. How many minutes is one third of that time?
  • A15 minutes
  • B30 minutes
  • C45 minutes
  • D60 minutes
Answer / grading criteria

30 minutes. This question already exists and only needs importing, not rewriting with AI.

Why use this question?

If the content and answer key are already approved, importing is more appropriate than generating new questions. Check the imported result before using it.

Adapt it to your quiz

Choose “Paste to import” or the appropriate file-import workflow. Check the order, formulas, options, and answer keys. Fix any import issues before assigning the quiz.

05 · Mistakes to avoid

Common mistakes with AI-generated questions

Common issue: Giving only a topic, without a level or learning objective.

How to fix it: State who the learners are, what they have studied, and what you want to assess.

Common issue: Trusting the generated answer because the question sounds fluent.

How to fix it: Work out the answer and verify it against the source before using it for grading.

Common issue: Sending an entire document containing unnecessary information.

How to fix it: Use only relevant sections and remove personal, confidential, or unauthorized content.

Check before assigning

  • You chose Prompt, Document, or import for the right task.
  • The prompt identifies the audience and material to assess.
  • The number and type of questions are correct.
  • The source was checked before sending.
  • Every question and answer key has been reviewed.
  • You set the points, tested the quiz, and removed unsuitable questions.
06 · FAQs

Before you start

Explore all question formats
Which question types can NineQuiz AI create?

The window shown here offers Single Choice, Multiple Choice, Yes/No Question, and Drag and Drop Matching. Not every type in the question editor is available in the AI menu.

What is the difference between Prompt and Document?

Prompt is for describing the questions you need. Document uses source material that you paste or attach as a file. With either method, review the questions after generation.

I already have questions in Word. Which option should I use?

To keep your existing questions, use an import option such as “Paste to import,” rather than generate new ones. Review the questions, options, and answer keys after import.

Can I assign the questions immediately after generation?

Read each question, solve it yourself, and check the answer first. AI can produce incorrect answers, ambiguous wording, or material outside the lesson. Edit and test before using the questions for assessment.

Choose where to use your questions

Try a small set of AI-generated questions

Start with 5 questions from one topic or passage. Review and edit the first batch before generating the rest of the quiz.
