Tips to make your quizzes even better

Here you'll find all kinds of tips that you can use to make your quizzes more fun, more exciting, more interactive and more successful.

Tip 1

Give instructions

Before you start the quiz it is recommended that you inform the players about how they can earn points. Indicate that they can get 10 points for each correct answer, but if they change their answer, before the time has expired, they loose 1 point for each time they change.

Please also explain that the time does not affect the number of points a player can earn and that they can save their score at the end of the quiz. If they save their score at QuizStud, they can play the same quiz again later at home. Unless you don't want this and have disabled this feature in the backend.

Control the pace

With long questions in combination with long answers, it's sometimes difficult for players with reading problems to respond quickly. Therefore, it is recommended as a quizmaster to read the first question out loud before clicking on the start button. That way, players have a little more time to read the question and answers.
