MCQ Practice Sheet With Response Grid
A printable MCQ set, separate response grid and checked option key without answer leakage.
Works on any free AI · Best tool: Any AI chat (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini)
✅ How to use this effectively
- 1. Paste every stem, option and approved key.
- 2. Review option-order and answer-key parity.
- 3. Compile using a free Overleaf login.
- 4. Test that the response grid can be marked clearly with the intended pen or pencil.
🔧 If it is not right, reply with this: If wrong, reply with: "Restore the original option order, rebuild the response grid and keep every correct answer out of student pages."
THE PROMPT
ROLE: Act as an MCQ booklet editor, option-key auditor and response-grid designer.
CONTEXT: A [CLASS] teacher needs [MCQ COUNT] approved questions on [TOPIC] for paper-based practice.
INPUTS — FILL EVERY PLACEHOLDER:
- [CLASS]
- [TOPIC]
- [MCQ COUNT]
- [APPROVED MCQS]
- [ANSWER KEY]
- [GRID STYLE]
SOURCE-BOUND TOOL FACTS AND EXACT URL WHITELIST:
- [OVERLEAF] Whitelist: https://www.overleaf.com/docs?encoded_snip={PERCENT_ENCODED_LATEX}. Overleaf requires a free account and sign-in before the imported project opens. Use pdflatex for the stated school-safe package set; use xelatex with fontspec only for multilingual documents. If the encoded URL exceeds 6,000 characters, output the full source plus manual paste steps instead of a broken link.
- [WOLFRAMALPHA] Whitelist: https://www.wolframalpha.com/input?i={ENCODED_PLAIN_CALCULATOR_QUERY}. It recomputes a claim but does not prove surrounding reasoning; steps may require Pro.
DO THIS:
1. Assign stable item numbers and preserve all option text and ordering.
2. Audit the key and list disputed items separately without changing them.
3. Lay out stems and options with no awkward page break between them.
4. Build a separate response grid with item numbers and A-D bubbles or boxes.
5. Create a teacher key and scoring strip on pages excluded from student printing.
WORKED LINK EXAMPLE — COPY THIS EXACT ENCODING PATTERN:
Example task: Audit an MCQ whose computational core is factor x^2-5x+6.
Expected result or check target: The check returns (x-2)(x-3), while the teacher confirms which option carries that expression.
check this yourself
CHECK → https://www.wolframalpha.com/input?i=factor%20x%5E2-5x%2B6
(paste-fallback: factor x^2-5x+6)
Encoding note: The query uses plain calculator syntax and encodes its space, caret and plus sign.
OUTPUT FORMAT:
1. Key Audit — item, approved option and dispute flag
2. Question Booklet — answer-free student pages
3. Response Grid — aligned printable answer sheet
4. Teacher Key — separate scoring strip
5. Print Plan — page ranges and collation order
QUALITY AND TOOL GUARDRAILS:
- Do not claim an option is correct solely because the supplied key says so; flag conflicts.
- Overleaf requires a free account and login if its route is used.
- Use pdflatex for English-only MCQs and xelatex only for multilingual scripts.
- Typst is a paste-only non-LaTeX alternative, never a prefilled link.
- Do not invent authentic PYQ attribution or exam metadata.
- Copy every [PLACEHOLDER IN SQUARE BRACKETS] character-for-character in every template, code block and translated variant.
- Never output a desmos.com URL with parameters, a mathsolver.microsoft.com URL, an invented GeoGebra material ID, an invented DIKSHA code, an invented Khan topic path, or an unlisted quiz or simulation slug.
- Never describe an AI answer as verified. Every external check must be labelled “check this yourself” for the teacher or student to inspect personally.
- Do not invent exam facts, source citations, marks distributions, tool IDs or inaccessible links. Separate mathematical proof from computational checking.
=== TOOL-LINK OUTPUT CONTRACT — follow every rule exactly ===
1. You may output clickable links ONLY to: wolframalpha.com/input?i= · symbolab.com/solver?query= ·
geogebra.org/graphing|geometry|3d|cas?command= · math.stackexchange.com/search?q= · oeis.org/search?q= ·
artofproblemsolving.com/community/q1_ · khanacademy.org/search?page_search_query= ·
overleaf.com/docs?encoded_snip= · latex.codecogs.com/png.image? · docs.google.com/forms/...viewform?usp=pp_url
(Forms only with entry.N IDs I paste in) · plus any URL I give you or that appears in this prompt's whitelist table.
2. NEVER output: desmos.com links with query strings (they load blank), invented geogebra.org/m/ IDs, Khan topic
URLs, DIKSHA dial codes, Wolfram quiz/demo slugs not in my table, or mathsolver.microsoft.com (dead site).
3. Write queries in plain calculator syntax (x^2, sqrt(x), pi, 3/4) — never LaTeX — EXCEPT Overleaf and CodeCogs
payloads, which are LaTeX.
4. Percent-encode the query part: space→%20, +→%2B, ^→%5E, =→%3D, [→%5B, ]→%5D; in LaTeX payloads also
\→%5C, {→%7B, }→%7D, %→%25, #→%23, &→%26, newline→%0A. GeoGebra ?command= exception: encode ONLY + as %2B;
leave ( ) = ^ ; as typed.
5. One link per line, formatted exactly: CHECK → <full raw URL> (no markdown brackets, nothing after the URL).
6. Directly below every link, print: (paste-fallback: <the un-encoded query or commands>)
7. Before printing any link, silently decode your own URL and confirm it reproduces the query character-for-character;
rebuild it if not. If a URL would exceed 1,800 characters (Overleaf: 6,000), print only the paste-fallback.
8. Label every link "check this yourself" — never claim the link proves your answer is correct.
9. On phones these links must be opened in a browser, not an installed app — say this once at the end.
