Quiz Type #1

If you wish to utilize the first type of quiz:

1. Click the “next step” button.
2. Add a question
3. Click the “add question” button. This will expand a window allowing you to type in various answers.
4. Check the radio button next to the correct answer.
5. Click done.
6. Continue to add questions and answers until you are finished with your quiz. You can drag and drop questions to change their order.

Quiz Type #2

The second type of quiz is the same as the first when it comes to formatting, however you must utilize the dropdown menu by each potential answer to add weight.

Quiz Type #3

The third type of quiz has a slightly different format. Instead of starting with questions, you start by adding specific results. For example, if this quiz is designed to help people find the best possible pet for their personality and lifestyle, you may enter “Dog” “Cat” “Fish” and “Bird” in as results. Every time you enter a result, you are given the option to explain the meaning of the result.

To follow through with the pet example, someone getting the “Dog” result ought to be told in so many words that, based on the answers they provided in the quiz, a dog would be the best pet for him or her. When you are finished typing in your explanation, click done. Once you have entered in all of your results and their accompanying questions, it is time to add questions. The subsequent questions and answers you create will be tied in with points you are to select via dropdown menus that will be used to contribute to the quiz-taker’s tendency toward a certain result. For example, if someone has severe allergies, you may select -5 points for a the dog, cat, and bird results, but 5 points for a fish result. When you are finished creating your quiz, click save.

Readers can take your quiz as many times as they like.
