Setting up answers in a Google Form quiz

Most people searching for how to create a Google Form quiz with answers want a quiz that grades itself and shows the right answer after submission. Google Forms handles that part well, but writing the questions and correct answers from scratch takes time, especially when you have a full set of notes to cover.

Turn on Make this a quiz in the Settings tab before adding answer keys.
Set one correct answer and a point value for each question under Answer key.
Use feedback fields to explain why an answer is right or wrong.
Check short-answer questions by hand if several correct wordings are possible.

Example Google Forms quiz answer-key steps

Where do you turn on quiz mode in Google Forms?Open the Settings tab and switch on Make this a quiz under the Quizzes section.

How do you set the correct answer for a multiple-choice question?Click Answer key at the bottom of the question, select the correct option, and set its point value.

What can feedback fields in a quiz question do?They show respondents a message after grading, such as why the correct answer is right, with separate text for correct and incorrect responses.

When can respondents see their scores in a Google Form quiz?Under Release grade in Settings, you choose whether they see the grade right after submission, later after review, or not at all, and whether missing questions and correct answers appear.

Why might a short-answer question need manual grading in a Google Form?Google Forms only auto-grades short answers that match the exact responses on your answer key, so differently worded correct answers need a person to review them.

Frequently asked questions

Can a Google Form quiz mark answers automatically?

Yes. Once Make this a quiz is on, you set a correct answer and point value for each question under Answer key, and Google Forms grades multiple-choice and true/false questions automatically. Short-answer responses only match the exact answers you list.

What makes a good practice quiz for studying a topic?

A short set of questions that covers the main ideas works better than a long one, because you can review every missed item after each attempt. Explanations for each correct answer help more than the score alone.

Does DeckOwl send quizzes straight into Google Forms?

No. DeckOwl creates the questions, answers and explanations, which you copy into your Google Form yourself. Exports to PDF and DOCX are paid features on the Plus plan.

Can I study generated questions before using them in Google Forms?

Yes. The free plan includes 3 generations per month and lets you study in the browser, and no credit card is needed to start.
