Are you an English teacher, literacy coach, test prep instructor, or reading specialist looking to assess student vocabulary knowledge? The Vocabulary Check Quiz Template from WPForms is designed to evaluate student understanding of key vocabulary words and their contextual meanings.

Exploring the Vocabulary Check Quiz Template

This graded quiz includes 10 multiple-choice questions testing knowledge of key vocabulary words and their contextual meanings. Students enter their information, complete the assessment, and receive an automatically calculated letter, making it perfect for middle school, high school, SAT/ACT prep programs, ESL classrooms, and reading intervention programs. Here’s what the template includes:

Name and Email Collection Fields

The quiz opens by capturing each student’s name and email address. This allows you to track individual vocabulary mastery, send results to parents or guardians, identify students needing vocabulary intervention, and maintain records for grading and progress monitoring purposes.

Note: You may want to customize the email field to be optional or replace it with a student ID field, depending on your school’s privacy policies and whether students have email addresses.

10 Multiple-Choice Questions Testing Vocabulary

The template includes 10 multiple-choice questions testing contextual vocabulary understanding. Each question is configured with the “Include in Quiz Scoring” option enabled, allowing WPForms to automatically evaluate responses as correct or incorrect based on the designated answer.

Standard Grading Scale

  • A: 90-100% – Excellent vocabulary mastery
  • B: 80-89% – Strong vocabulary knowledge with minor gaps
  • C: 70-79% – Satisfactory understanding with room for improvement
  • D: 60-69% – Basic awareness but significant gaps remain
  • F: 0-59% – Needs substantial vocabulary instruction and practice

You can easily adjust these grade ranges in the Settings tab to match your school’s grading system or create custom performance categories.

Correct and Incorrect Answer Feedback

As a Graded Quiz, this template is configured to provide immediate educational feedback via the “Show the correct answer as soon as a choice is made” option. With this setting enabled, students receive instant feedback after each question, seeing whether they were right or wrong.

  • Correct Answer Message: Default is “Correct! Great job.” (you can customize this to something encouraging like “That’s right! You understand this classroom expectation.”)
  • Incorrect Answer Message: Default is “Incorrect. The right answer is {quiz_correct_answer}” (the smart tag automatically inserts the correct answer, helping students learn immediately).

Conditional Outcomes and Results Display

Upon completion, students instantly see:

  • Their letter grade (A, B, C, D, or F)
  • Percentage score
  • Number of correct answers
  • Number of incorrect answers
  • Total questions answered
