Hi, a teacher and I have been looking for websites to take Math/Physics exercises from, put them together as a test, print it and pass it to students. I know there are many websites that give you tools to write your own exercises (mainly many LMSes).
But we'd like to pick exercises already made, according to some conditions, like topic, grade, question types etc.

Have you already used something like that before?
Thank you and be well

I've only seen this from publishers of textbooks, so you could check with the one you are using. But that would most probably involve $$$.

Some of the GRE prep books likely include such exercises, classed by different criteria, though not sure the type you look for. And they do include solutions.
