- Leads and their answers in Zapier, Google Sheets or Mailchimp
66%give an email when asked
Two in three people who reach an email question answer it, and the same question gets more answers the earlier it sits. Ask early.

What studying this way does to your results
2xlearned, in less time
Harvard students randomly assigned to an AI tutor learned more than twice as much as classmates taught the same lesson in a live active learning class. They finished in 49 minutes instead of 60.
80%recalled a week later
A week after studying, students who kept quizzing themselves recalled 80% of the material. Students who kept rereading it recalled 36%. On the day, both groups knew it equally well.
90%on the final test, not 68%
Students quizzed after each segment of a video lecture scored 90% on the final test. Without the quizzes, 68%. They also reported feeling less anxious about that test, not more.
69thpercentile, up from the 50th
Across 222 classroom studies of 48,478 students, regular quizzing moved the average student from the 50th to the 69th percentile, worth about a third of a grade point. Online quizzes worked as well as paper.

How to make a quiz people actually finish
Five rules from 46.2 million attempts on quizzes built here. Each one takes a minute in the editor above, and the numbers behind them are one click down.
-
Ask the question you most need answered first
21answers lost in every 100
The same question, moved from first to last, loses 21 answers in every hundred. An email box, an opinion or a long written answer costs you every place you push it down the list.

Start at 8 to 10 questions
81of 100 reach question 10
Attention decays slowly, not off a cliff. Quizzes of 8 to 10 questions averaged 82.4% completion. Add more only when each question earns its place.
-
Open with a question most people get right
7.7points more finish

-
Explain the answers and leave retakes on
+21.6points on the second attempt
1.67 million people took the same scored quiz twice. Scores rose from 55.3% to 76.9%. For a practice quiz, that second attempt is the whole point.

Where these numbers come from
The Quiz Maker Benchmark 2026 examines quizzes published on quiz-maker.com from 16 September 2023 to 6 September 2026. The headline set contains 77,128 quizzes and 46,152,048 completed attempts: every quiz with at least three questions and three attempts. Completion rates use 29,624 quizzes with at least 20 starters. Rates are calculated per quiz and averaged without weighting unless a row says otherwise.
An attempt is one person taking one quiz; an answer is one person answering one question. Finished means reaching the end. The position experiment uses only quizzes that shuffle their questions, so each question is its own control. Results describe this platform and do not promise an outcome for your quiz.

How do I make a quiz online for free?
Start in the editor at the top of this page: add a title, select Add Question, type the choices and mark the correct answer. Repeat for the rest, pick a theme and preview. Save with your email to publish and get a shareable link.
Can I create a quiz without signing up?
Yes, no signup is needed to start. You can create your own quiz and preview it without an account. When you save and publish, add your email so the quiz and its results have a dashboard you can come back to. People taking a standard shared quiz never need an account.
What question types can I use?
More than 38, including multiple choice, checkboxes, true or false, matching, ranking, dropdown, short and long text, number, star and emoji rating, matrix, file upload, contact fields, payment and calculation. Questions can carry images, video and audio.
Can I create a multiple choice quiz with automatic scoring?
Yes. Choose multiple choice, enter the options and mark the correct one. Weight the points if some questions matter more, set a pass mark and grade bands, and decide how the score and feedback are shown. Preview it and check the answer key before you share.
Can I create a test or exam with a pass mark and a certificate?
Yes. Choose Show a Score & Grade, set the pass mark and grade bands on the Results tab, and add a certificate that shows only for a pass. Add a timer, one-time access codes or quiz login on the Settings tab for exam conditions, and export every attempt to Excel. The employee test maker guide walks through a full example.
Can AI make a quiz from my topic or study material?
Yes. The AI Quiz Generator drafts questions from a topic, your notes or a document, and puts them into the editor for you to check and edit before publishing. For a classroom or practice test, check every answer against your source and add explanations where they help.
Can I create a personality quiz instead of a right-or-wrong test?
Yes. To create a personality quiz, choose Assign a Type in the quiz type dropdown. Create your result types on the Results tab, assign each answer to a type and write a description for each result. The same setup, with Recommend a Product, powers product recommendation quizzes. The personality quiz maker guide has 32 examples you can edit.
Can I make a trivia quiz with a timer and a leaderboard?
Yes. Pick Show a Score, add a countdown timer for the quiz or for each question on the Settings tab, and switch on the leaderboard on the Results tab. The trivia maker page has seven ready-made rounds with 786 questions you can load straight into the editor.
Can I make a quiz about myself for my friends?
Yes. A how well do you know me quiz is a scored quiz where you set the answers about yourself and share one link. Friends take it on their phones and the leaderboard shows who knows you best. Start from the friend quiz maker, which has ready-made questions by category.
How do I share my quiz or put it on my website?
After saving, open the Share tab to copy the direct link, the QR code or the embed code for your website. Send the link by email, post it to social or paste it into a group chat. Every quiz works on a phone as well as a computer.
Is there a quiz maker app?
Quiz Maker runs in the browser on any phone, tablet or computer, so there is nothing to install. On a phone the editor opens full screen, and every quiz you publish works on whatever device the link reaches.
How many questions should my quiz have?
For a casual quiz, 8 to 10 questions is a good starting point. In our benchmark that group averaged 82.4% completion across 8,642 quizzes with at least 20 starters, and 20 to 29 question quizzes still averaged 74.3%. Choose the length your purpose needs, and put the questions you most need answered first.
How does Quiz Maker compare with Google Forms or Kahoot?
Google Forms is a form tool with a quiz mode; Quiz Maker is built for quizzes, so grades, certificates, personality outcomes, leaderboards, timers, themes and lead capture are all in the editor. Kahoot is a live, host-led game; Quiz Maker quizzes are self-paced, so people take them whenever the link reaches them and the results collect for as long as you leave the quiz open.
