The average coaching institute teacher spends 4-6 hours creating a single weekly test from scratch — finding questions, typing them in, formatting them, creating the answer key, and uploading. Over a year, that is hundreds of hours lost to administrative work instead of teaching.
PrepLab customers report reducing test creation time to 30-45 minutes with AI. Here is how to achieve that.
The 5 Time Sinks in Traditional Test Creation
- Finding relevant questions from physical books or archives (1-2 hours)
- Typing questions into a digital format, especially math and chemistry (1-2 hours)
- Formatting options, numbering questions, and applying marking scheme (30 min)
- Creating the answer key and model answers (30-45 min)
- Uploading and scheduling the test on the platform (15-30 min)
