FAQs
How many questions should a quiz have?
Engagement quizzes: 5-10 questions. Course assessments: 15-30 questions. Certification exams: 50-100 questions. Longer quizzes provide more reliable assessment but risk fatigue. One question per major learning objective.
What is a fair passing score?
Standard passing scores: 70% (minimum competency), 80% (good understanding), 90%+ (mastery). For high-stakes exams (certifications), use 70-75%. For classroom quizzes, 60-70% is acceptable. Adjust based on difficulty.
What is the best quiz question type?
Multiple choice (MC) is most common: fast, objective grading, tests recognition. True/False is quickest but has 50% guess rate. Fill-in-blank tests recall. Essay assesses deep understanding but subjective. Mix types for comprehensive assessment.
How can I prevent cheating on online quizzes?
Anti-cheating measures: randomize question order, use question banks, set time limits, one-question-at-a-time display, disable copy/paste, require webcam monitoring (proctoring), create unique questions, use essay questions. Trade-off: convenience vs. security.
Should I show quiz answers immediately?
For learning: show correct answers with explanations immediately - boosts retention. For assessments: delay feedback until all students complete to prevent answer sharing. For marketing quizzes: show fun results immediately for engagement and sharing.
What quiz platforms are best?
Popular platforms: Google Forms (free, simple), Kahoot (interactive, classroom), Quizizz (gamified, homework), Canvas/Moodle (LMS integrated), Typeform (beautiful UX), Survey Monkey (advanced). Choose based on: features, budget, audience, and integration needs.
