# Quizzes and scored answers

Canonical page: https://www.questionpunk.com/support/quizzes

Score multiple-choice questions, set a pass mark, and choose what people see after they submit.

Time: 5-10 minutes

Level: Beginner

Audience: Educators, Trainers, HR and certification teams

## Steps

### 1. Start a quiz

On the home page, choose **Quizzes** and describe what participants should know, or paste training material. You can also turn any survey into a quiz by scoring its multiple-choice questions.

### 2. Set the answer key

Open a multiple-choice question and turn on **Score this question**. Choose the correct answer. For several correct answers, turn on **Several correct answers** and check each one. A multi-select question is only correct when every keyed option, and nothing else, is chosen.

### 3. Set points and an explanation

Give the question a number of points (1 to 100; the default is 1). Add an optional explanation, such as why the answer is right. Respondents see it with their graded answer when you allow it.

### 4. Add a pass mark

Open **Survey settings** and set a **Pass mark**, the percent of points needed to pass. People then see Passed or Not passed with their score. Leave it empty for no pass mark.

### 5. Choose what people see

Under **Quiz results**, pick one of four levels: score and correct answers, score and what they got wrong, score only, or nothing. Publishing is blocked until every scored question has a correct answer chosen.

### 6. Review attempts

The Results tab shows a quiz overview: graded attempts, average score, pass rate, and how many people got each question right. Your Results always show every answer, whatever respondents see.

## Details

Each attempt is graded against the version of the quiz the person took, so editing a published quiz never changes the score of earlier attempts.

**What respondents see.** <em>Score and correct answers</em> marks each question right or wrong and shows the correct answer and your explanations; it suits practice and training. <em>Score and what they got wrong</em> marks each question without revealing the answer, though on a two-choice question a wrong mark still gives it away. <em>Score only</em> shows a result such as 4 / 5. <em>Nothing</em> shows the usual thank-you screen and keeps the answer key private, which suits hiring or certification. The answer key is withheld on the server, so a hidden key never reaches the respondent's browser.

**AI result summary.** Describe the summary you want, for example a playful two-sentence verdict, and an AI writes one for each person from their answers and shows it with their score. See [AI result](https://www.questionpunk.com/support/ai-result).

**Translations.** Option order and count are edited in the source language; translated wording stays editable. See [multi-language surveys](https://www.questionpunk.com/support/translations).
