Google Forms is used for a variety of things like making quizzes, surveys, applications, polls, you name it! Google Form quizzes can have a personal use, educational use for teachers and students, or even professional use at work for receiving employee feedback. Creating quizzes is most easily done with Google Forms as it makes the process clear and simple.

Sign in to Google Forms.

Go to https://docs.google.com/forms and sign in. Once you sign in with your Google account, you'll see a list of forms you've created or have access to.

Start a new blank form.

Title your quiz.

• You can also add a description below the title. For example, if you're giving an open-book quiz, you can enter the chapters or pages referenced by the quiz questions.

Add your quiz questions.

• If you don't want people to be able to skip the question, click the "Required" switch to make the question required.

List the answers for each question.

Adding the correct answer for each section will help you grade answers. It will also be helpful if you decide to share correct answers with the people taking the quiz.

Make the form a quiz.

• Click the Settings tab at the top.
• Click the "Make this a quiz" toggle switch.

Customize your grading preferences.
