How to build Google Forms quiz questions and answers

Most people searching for Google Forms quiz questions and answers want a quiz they can put in front of students this week, not a blank form to fill in from scratch. The fastest route is to start from the material your class already uses, such as lecture slides, a textbook chapter or your own notes.

Use multiple-choice or checkbox questions where Google Forms can grade them against an answer key.
Set point values per question in the answer key section before you share the form.
Turn on feedback so students see the correct answer and explanation after submitting.
Keep open-ended questions for review, since they need a manual check against the key.

Can a respondent see correct answers after submitting a Google Forms quiz?Yes, if you enable release of grades and correct answers in the quiz settings. Students then see which answers were right and wrong.

How do you give different point values to questions in a Google Forms quiz?Open the answer key for each question and set its point value. The total score adds up across all questions.

Why should a multiple-choice quiz include plausible wrong options?Plausible distractors reveal misunderstandings, so a wrong choice shows what the student still needs to review.
