What question types can I use in a quiz?

Quiz mode scores three types: multiple choice with a single correct answer, multiple choice with several correct answers, and drop-down. You mark the right answer or answers for each, then assign points. Open-text questions are not scored automatically, so if you include them, they will not add to a respondent's total. For a graded knowledge check, keep every question on multiple choice or drop-down so all of them count.

Can respondents see their quiz score right away?

Yes. With the results display turned on, respondents see their score and which answers were right or wrong the instant they submit, and that feature is free. A paid Quizzes Pro plan adds two layers on top: custom feedback text next to each answer choice, and result banner messages that change based on a respondent's score range, so a high scorer and a low scorer see different wrap-ups.

What is the difference between a quiz and a survey?

A survey collects opinions where no answer is right or wrong. A quiz marks a correct answer per question, assigns points, and produces a score. Quiz mode is what bridges the two: it adds answer-marking and automatic scoring on top of the same question builder you would use for a survey. You can switch on quiz mode for a survey you already have, or start from one of the 11 quiz templates here.

Can I add custom feedback for each answer?

Custom per-answer feedback comes with a paid Quizzes Pro plan. It lets you write a short explanation that appears beside each answer choice on the results page, so respondents learn why an answer was wrong, not just that it was. On a free plan, respondents still see which answers were correct and incorrect; they simply do not get the explanatory text. For training quizzes where understanding the miss matters, Quizzes Pro unlocks that feedback layer.

How do I make a quiz to test knowledge?

Start from a template or open a new survey, then toggle quiz mode on in settings. Add questions with multiple choice or drop-down, mark each correct answer, and set point values. Turn on the results display so test-takers see their score immediately. For a training or compliance context, review individual scores in Analyze to see who passed and flag anyone who needs a retake. None of this requires code or a third-party tool.

What are quizzes?

Want to know whether the lesson stuck, the policy was read, or your fans really know their team? A quiz gives you a number instead of a guess. A quiz marks each answer right or wrong, assigns points, and scores every respondent automatically, so you get a measured result the moment they submit. These 11 templates cover the most common reasons to build one: training checks, classroom assessments, sports and trivia events, and audience engagement.

On SurveyMonkey, quiz mode turns any survey into a quiz with one toggle. You mark the correct answer for each question and set its point value, then the platform totals each respondent's score on submission. Scoring works with multiple choice, single or multiple answer, and drop-down questions. The free results display shows respondents which answers they got right or wrong right away; a paid Quizzes Pro plan adds custom feedback text per answer and result banners that change by score range.

Quizzes average 8.9 questions and complete at 94.8% overall. Short quizzes of 1 to 10 questions finish at 99.0%; the 11-to-20 band sits at 88.9%, and quizzes past 21 questions land at 94.5%. The Analyze view reports overall score statistics alongside each respondent's individual result.

How to create a quiz

Start from one of the 11 templates on this page, or open a new survey to build from scratch.
Toggle quiz mode on in settings. This unlocks right or wrong answer marking and automatic scoring.
Write questions using multiple choice or drop-down, the three question types quiz mode scores. Open-text answers are not scored.
Mark the correct answer for each question and assign point values, weighting the harder questions higher if you want.
Turn on the results display so respondents see their score and which answers were correct the instant they finish.
Share by email, web link, or embed on a page, then open Analyze to read overall statistics and individual respondent scores.

When to use quizzes

Training and compliance checks: Confirm employees read the required material before they move on. The corporate legal training quiz template is built for this, with per-respondent scores you can track in Analyze.
Classroom knowledge assessments: Run a quick check after a lesson, with instant results so learners see their gaps while the material is fresh.
Sports and trivia events: Build a prediction contest or trivia game around a big game, tournament, or award show. Several templates here cover sports, entertainment, and celebrity trivia.
New hire onboarding checks: Verify new employees retained what orientation covered before the next stage begins.
Personality and engagement quizzes: Group respondents by score range for a shareable marketing quiz, adding custom result banners on a paid plan.

Who runs quizzes

Educators and instructors: They use quizzes for knowledge checks and study aids, and instant results remove the grading lag that slows feedback.
HR and learning and development teams: They run compliance and onboarding checks, then read individual scores in Analyze to see who passed and who needs a follow-up.
Marketers: They build personality and trivia quizzes to drive engagement, using score-based result banners to personalize the payoff.
Event organizers: They run prediction contests tied to sports seasons and award shows, leaning on the ready-made entertainment templates in this set.

Tips for creating a quiz

Keep questions lean: Short quizzes of 1 to 10 questions complete at 99.0%, while the 11-to-20 band drops to 88.9%, the lowest of the three, so design around the fewest questions that test what you need.
Stick to scorable question types: Quiz mode scores only multiple choice and drop-down, so leave out open-text questions if every answer must count.
Turn on instant results: The results display is free and takes one toggle, and respondents who see correct answers immediately retain more.
Weight by difficulty: Assign higher point values to harder questions so the total score reflects real mastery.
Add per-answer feedback for teaching: Custom feedback text per answer choice explains why a wrong answer was wrong. This requires a paid Quizzes Pro plan.
