About this lesson

Create a New Quiz to test the knowledge of your respondents. 

Quick reference

Create a New Quiz

Creating a new quiz is very similar to creating a form in Microsoft Forms. 

When to use

We create a quiz whenever we want to test someone's knowledge on a subject. 

Instructions

Create a Quiz

Let's create a quiz for the accounts department at Happy Flame Candle Company to test their Excel skills. 

  • From the Forms start page, click New Quiz. 
  • Name the quiz 'Accounts Team Microsoft Excel Quiz'.
  • Click the image icon. 
  • Click Upload. 
  • Navigate to the folder where you have the image file 'Happy_Flame_Logo.jpg' stored. 
  • Click Open.
  • Click on the alternative text icon and add text that describes the image. 
  • Click Add. 
  • Click in Form description. 
  • Type 'Quiz to test your Excel skills and identify knowledge gaps that require further training'.

  • 00:04 In this section of the course,
  • 00:06 we're going to switch gears a little bit from creating surveys to creating a quiz.
  • 00:11 And a quiz differs from a survey in that a quiz is there to test people's knowledge.
  • 00:18 So let's set up our scenario.
  • 00:20 We're still working within the Happy Flame Candle Company organization,
  • 00:25 but maybe we need to send a quiz to the Accounts Team,
  • 00:29 the people who deal with all of the money related to our company.
  • 00:34 Because it's really important that our Accounts Team has top-notch Excel skills,
  • 00:39 and we want to make sure that they're keeping up with their training by setting
  • 00:44 them an Excel quiz to try and determine who needs more training.
  • 00:48 So let's set up a basic quiz and
  • 00:50 then we'll start to add quiz questions throughout the balance of this section.
  • 00:54 So I'm back at the start page for Microsoft Forms.
  • 00:57 Notice at the top, we have a New Quiz button, so let's click on that one.
  • 01:02 Now this all looks very similar to when we created a survey.
  • 01:06 And that's the beauty with Microsoft Forms, it doesn't matter if you're
  • 01:10 creating a form, a quiz, or a survey, the structure is reasonably similar.
  • 01:14 So let's give our quiz a name, Accounts Team Microsoft Excel Quiz.
  • 01:20 Once again, we can add an image, so I'm going to add the company logo again.
  • 01:24 So let's go to Upload, there it is, I'm going to select it, click on Open, and I'm
  • 01:30 going to add some alternative text so that screen readers know what this image is.
  • 01:35 Let's click on Add to add that alternative text.
  • 01:38 And once again, if you want to remove this, you can click on the trash can.
  • 01:41 Now I'm going to give my form a description.
  • 01:44 Quiz to test your Excel skills to identify knowledge gaps that
  • 01:48 require further training.
  • 01:50 Click away, that is our header.
  • 01:52 Let's give it a quick preview.
  • 01:54 Looking pretty good on the computer.
  • 01:56 If we go to mobile, that looks pretty awesome as well.
  • 02:00 So now that we have our header down,
  • 02:02 it's time to start adding in some quiz questions.
