Building the quiz on your phone, step by step

The fastest way to make a Google Forms quiz on phone is to draft the questions somewhere else first. Writing five or ten questions with your thumbs takes far longer than reading them from a finished list.

Turn on quiz mode in Google Forms Settings before adding answer keys
Use multiple choice or true/false for quick grading on a small screen
Keep each question to one idea so it reads well on a phone
Check every AI-written answer against your course notes before sharing
