Microsoft Forms is one of the application programs of the new office suite 365. It allows the user to create surveys, polls and custom tests. You can send out the web link to the test in a variety of ways – in an E-mail, as a link in a shared OneNote document, embed in a web page or in OneNote online. 


People can respond to it using any web browser, even on mobile devices. You can provide automatic feedback based on the answers chosen, and automatically mark the test if it is all multiple-choice questions. You can also review all the tests submitted back to you and provide further feedback if required. Form data, such as test results, can be easily exported to Excel for additional analysis or grading.
