I have never heard of the last two, but a quiz for us is like a miniature test, less questions than a test and it takes less time (this is totally relative, a quiz for one class will be shorter than the test for that class but a quiz in another class might actually be longer than the quiz for another class.) It is less rigorous, usually, and also covers a smaller scope. A pop quiz is a non-scheduled quiz, sometimes given when attendance is low to penalize the absent and could be specifically to benefit those present when the instructor purposefully makes the questions super easy. Some of my instructors in the past even have a set number of pop quizzes set into the grading system, maybe even planned for a certain date, we just don't know when exactly they will happen until we are taking them. So Pop Quiz is a play on that. Sometimes we call tests exams. Is this the way it is also set up in Britain?
