One feature, the score, holds the effective quality of Testmoz especially for teachers. The score can be downloaded in excel format which later can be shared with learner’s guardians or learners themselves. Edmodo lacks this effective feature for teachers. This makes teachers to easy-go with the tool as they won’t have to create a score separately.

While Edmodo features so many things for learners as well teachers, Testmoz is lagged behind in contrast. But Testmoz as a test generator is simple to use and effective for students in classroom where students can take the test which can be purely judged without any biasness. As we know that Edmodo offers mobile app which is way too handy for users. But Testmoz may yet be working on it to come up with a mobile app.
