Saving a quiz and keeping its results

Learning how to save a Google Forms quiz takes two separate steps, because the questions and the responses live in different places. Keeping the questions means making a copy of the form, while keeping scores means exporting the Responses tab.

Copy the form before editing so the original questions stay intact.
Export responses to Google Sheets before you close or delete the form.
Download the spreadsheet as CSV if you need the scores offline or in another app.
Use DeckOwl when you want practice questions built from your own notes.

Example Google Forms quiz saving steps

Where do you find quiz responses so you can save them as a spreadsheet?The Responses tab, where you can create a linked Google Sheet. The sheet keeps the answers outside the form, so they remain available for review.

How do you keep the original questions before editing a Google Forms quiz?Use Make a copy from the form's menu. The copy keeps the questions and settings so you can change one version without losing the other.

Which file type should you download a response spreadsheet as to open it in another app?CSV, found under File then Download in Google Sheets. It is a plain format that most spreadsheet and grading tools can open.

Why should you export responses before deleting a form?Deleting the form ends your access to its responses view, so an exported copy keeps your scores and answers. Export first to avoid losing results.

How can scores be seen for each respondent in a quiz form?Use the Individual view in the Responses tab once quiz mode is on. It shows each respondent's score alongside their answers.
