If you do not type in a ‘search term’ or enter a passage of text, a test will be generated from one of the random Wikipedia articles shown in the selection box. The test will be created when when you press the submit button. In the examples below the tests shown are constructed from an article about retail.
A Wiki Test is constructed from a random section taken from a wikipedia article related to the title selected or search term entered. The chosen section is turned into two types of test. In the first test a number of words, usually about 10, have had their letters jumbled up and your task is to unscramble them. The second test created is an open cloze test. Both of these types of test are shown in the table below.
