Start a quiz from a template, not a blank page.

Why start from a template

A template removes the blank-page problem. Instead of deciding structure, length, and settings from scratch, you begin with a working quiz shape and change what you need. For most people, the hardest part of creating a quiz is getting started, and a template gets you to a shareable draft in minutes.

Common template shapes

A weekly class check usually has eight to twelve single choice questions and a short time limit. A chapter test adds a few fill-in-the-blank and one free text question, with one attempt allowed. A trivia round uses per-question timers and a leaderboard. A training check uses scenario questions, collects email, and requires OTP verification.

Pick the shape closest to your purpose, then adjust the details.

Replace the content, keep the structure

Keep the parts of the template that work, such as the number of questions, the mix of formats, and the settings, and replace the content with your own. The AI tab can draft questions on your topic in the same format, which you review and edit before saving.

Change the title and description so participants know exactly what the quiz covers.

Check the settings

Templates come with sensible default settings, but always check them against your purpose. A practice quiz might allow multiple attempts; a graded test should not. A public trivia quiz might not need contact fields; a training assessment does. Reviewing the settings step takes a minute and prevents the most common mistakes.

Make your own templates

Once you have a quiz that works well, treat it as your own template. Next time, build a new quiz with the same structure and settings, picking fresh questions from your Question Bank. Teachers who run a weekly quiz often settle on one structure for the whole year, which also makes results easier to compare week to week.

Templates for teams

In a school department or training team, agreeing on a few standard quiz shapes keeps assessments consistent. Everyone knows what a 'chapter test' or 'module check' looks like, how long it takes, and what settings it uses. Participants benefit too, because they know what to expect from each type of quiz.

Share and review

Share the finished quiz using its link or QR code. After responses come in, look at Question Performance to see whether the structure worked: were there enough questions to spot gaps, was the time limit right, did the harder questions separate stronger and weaker participants? Adjust your template based on what you learn.

Getting started

Choose the template closest to what you need, change the title, replace the questions with your own, check the settings, and share it. The whole process can take less than fifteen minutes the first time, and much less once you have a Question Bank to draw from.

Template examples by purpose

A lesson recap template: eight single choice questions, a ten-minute timer, multiple attempts allowed. A chapter test template: twelve mixed-format questions, a thirty-minute timer, shuffled, one attempt, email required. A trivia template: fifteen questions, a twenty-second per-question timer, leaderboard on.

A training check template: ten scenario questions, email and phone collected, OTP verification, one attempt. Starting from the closest match saves most of the setup decisions.

Mistakes to avoid when adapting templates

The most common mistake is changing the questions but forgetting the settings, such as leaving multiple attempts on for a graded test or leaving a leaderboard on for a sensitive assessment. Another is keeping the template's title or description, which confuses participants.

Always walk through the review step before saving, and read the summary as if you were a participant.
