How to Create Quiz in Google Forms?
Creating a quiz in Google Forms takes no time, and you can use it in many ways. Your Google Forms will likely stop responding if there are more than a few hundred questions. Rather than creating a large form, you can divide it into different forms and share it easily. Make sure you have signed in properly before you get started. The following steps are only applicable to Google Forms on the web browser. There is no Forms application available for mobile phones yet. However, you can use it on the web, the same as on PC, to create a quiz. Here’s how you can do it.
Create the Quiz
All forms on Google Forms are not a quiz by default. You will have to enable the “Make this a quiz” option to be able to set correct answers, scores, and feedback. Here’s how you can do it.
Describe the Quiz
Before creating the form quiz, give it a proper heading and briefly describe the quiz and how the user should take it.
Manage Responses Settings
You can also collect the users’ emails and choose whether you want them to make edits to their responses or not. Here’s how you can do it.
Manage Presentation Settings
Under the presentation tab, you can decide how to present the quiz to the users. It also lets you choose how you want the users to view the result. Here’s how to do it.
Add Questions and Options

To Choose the Correct Answer
