What to check when you build a quiz on a phone

Making a Google Form quiz on mobile is quick once the questions are written. The hard part is usually the writing itself, especially when your source is a long chapter or a stack of slides you have to read on a small screen.

Pick one correct answer per multiple-choice question and keep the wrong options plausible.
Set point values so harder questions count for more than recall items.
Turn on required questions so every submitted quiz has a full set of answers.
Test the form on your own phone before you send the link to anyone.

Example questions for a Google Form quiz on mobile

Why assign point values to questions in a graded form?Points let the score reflect difficulty, so one simple recall item does not count the same as a multi-step problem · Harder questions can carry more weight · Point totals should match the grade you plan to assign.

What does turning on Required do for a quiz question?It stops a student from submitting the form with that question blank · This keeps scores complete · It is useful for graded items that every student must answer.

Should students see correct answers right after submitting?Showing answers right away supports learning on practice quizzes · Hold them back for tests you plan to reuse · Released answers can spread to students who have not taken it yet.

What should you avoid in a multiple-choice option?Options like all of the above, which often give away the answer · Joke answers that no one would pick · Wrong options that are not based on a real misconception.

How should you check a Google Form quiz before sharing it on mobile?Open the link on your phone in a private window · Submit a test response and check the score · Confirm that option order and layout are readable on a small screen.

Upload your notes or slides and choose multiple-choice, true/false or short-answer questions.

Build the form in Google Forms

Open the Google Forms app, create a new form, turn on quiz settings and add the questions you approved.

Before you share the form, open the link on your phone in a private window and submit a test response. Layout, option order and point values can look different on a small screen than on a laptop.

Frequently asked questions

How many questions should a mobile quiz have?

Keep it short enough to finish comfortably on a phone, and match the length to the time you have. Shorter quizzes are easier to read on a small screen and easier to review afterward.

What makes a good multiple-choice question for a quiz?

Write one clearly correct answer and wrong options that reflect common mistakes, not obvious jokes. Avoid answers like all of the above, because they often give away the right choice.

Can I export my quiz questions?

Exports are paid features. PDF and DOCX export are included in Plus, and QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML export are included in Pro. The free plan lets you study in the browser.

Does DeckOwl make the Google Form for me?

No, DeckOwl generates the questions and explanations from your material. You add them to a Google Form yourself, which keeps you in control of grading and sharing.
