Statements, numbered, with T and F to ring

Paste your statements one per line. Each prints numbered with a circled T and a circled F beside it. Row height adjusts to how many there are, so ten statements print generously and thirty print compactly.

Nothing is generated for you but the layout, which is the tedious part.

Writing statements that test anything

A true/false question is answered correctly half the time by a coin, and that is the format's whole weakness. What you write determines whether it measures knowledge or luck.

The failure to avoid is the statement that reads as obviously true because it sounds like a textbook, or obviously false because it sounds silly. "A triangle has four sides" is not a question. It is a warm-up.

Better ones are built from the misconceptions your class actually holds. If half of them think heavier objects fall faster, that belief written as a flat statement is worth ten generic facts.

Make the false ones nearly true

The most useful false statement is one that changes a single detail: the right process with the wrong outcome, the right date with the wrong event, the right definition attached to the wrong word.

Those force a reader to check the detail instead of judging the general shape of the sentence, and the checking is the thinking you were after in the first place.

Aim for roughly half true. Pupils count. A sheet that runs 80% true gets answered by pattern rather than by reading, and you will not be able to tell from the marks.

Words that give the answer away

"Always", "never" and "all" usually signal a false statement. "Sometimes", "often" and "usually" usually signal a true one. That is not a fact about your subject, it is a fact about how people write test questions, and test-wise pupils know it.

If you want the sheet to measure content rather than exam technique, use those words in both directions on purpose.

The follow-up that doubles the value

Have them correct every statement they marked false.

That single instruction turns a guessable format into one that cannot be guessed, because a corrected statement requires knowing what the right version is. It also converts the marking from a tick count into something you can read.

What you set

A title, your list of statements, and the Name and Date header on or off. A4 or US Letter, printed at 100%.

For questions with four options rather than two, the multiple choice sheet is the same idea with distractors.

FAQs

Quick answers

How many statements can I add?

As many as fit on the page. The layout shrinks the row height as you add more statements, so around 15–20 is a comfortable target.

Do statements wrap across lines?

Yes. Longer statements wrap to a second or third line automatically while the T/F markers stay pinned to the right.

Can students mark T/F by circling?

Yes. Each row prints T and F inside small circles so students can circle the correct letter.

Is there an answer key?

Not on this sheet. Keep your correct answers separately. For longer quizzes with multiple choices, use the Multiple Choice Quiz generator.
