How to make an online quiz with answer sheets

In this tutorial, we’ll go through the steps to create an interactive online quiz with auto-grading and answer sheets. You can easily create your quiz using the ready-to-customize templates or start from scratch.

1. Add your quiz questions

First things first, edit your questions in your quiz. You can use various field types including “video“, “multi-choice“, “single-choice“, “text“, “number“, “file“, “matrix“, “table“, and many more. You can add pictures for each option in the “multi-choice” and “single-choice” sections. Or, you can use the “section” field to include a mix of text, links, and images.

2. Grade the responses automatically using the calculator

In your form editor go to the “calculator” tab. It will open the calculator page in which you can customize your grading system. You can simply click on each question and set up a calculation on it.

For example, click on one of your questions, then click on the “Add a calculation” button. Select how you want to calculate your total score.

You can use elementary arithmetic (add/subtract/multiply/divide) to calculate your score. Also, you can add multiple calculations on one field.

3. Add an answer sheet

You can choose to see the quiz answers either after submitting the quiz or after answering each question.

To use the first method, follow these steps: Go to the calculator page. Click on each question. Go to the “Answer Sheet” tab. Add the answer description to that question.

Remember to enable the “Show answer sheet after submitting the form” option at the top left side of your calculator page!

Show answer sheet after submitting the online quiz

To show the answer to each question after answering it, edit your quiz and add two “Section” fields after each question. In one section field describe why the answer is wrong, and in the other section, describe how it’s correct. Use logic to display “Correct Answer” when the answer is right and show “Wrong Answer” when the answer is incorrect.
