How to make a quiz in Google Forms

Summary

Quiz mode in Google Forms turns an ordinary form into a graded test. You set the correct answer for each question, and Forms scores every submission for you. It saves you from marking responses by hand.

Step-by-step guide

1. Step 1

   Start a blank form

   Open the Google Forms home page and choose Blank form under Start a new form. The form editor opens with an empty question already on the page. Give the form a clear title, such as a topic name, in the Form title box.

2. Step 2

   Open the Settings tab

   At the top of the editor, select Settings next to Questions and Responses. This tab holds the options that control how the whole form behaves, including quiz mode.

3. Step 3

   Turn on Make this a quiz

   Switch on Make this a quiz. The description beside it says you can assign point values, set answers, and automatically provide feedback. Select Questions again to go back to the editor.

4. Step 4

   Open the answer key

   Type your question and fill in the answer options. Then select Answer key at the bottom of the question. It shows (0 points) until you set a score.

5. Step 5

   Mark the correct answer

   Under Choose correct answers:, tick the option that is right. You can also enter a number in the points box to decide how much the question is worth.

6. Step 6

   Save the answer key

   Select Done to save the answer key and return to the question. The right option now shows as the correct answer.

7. Step 7

   Publish the quiz

   Select Publish at the top right of the editor. A Publish form dialog opens, where you confirm and then share the form with the people who should take the quiz.
