Run a quiz

A quiz is a giveaway whose entry form has correct answers. Members press Enter, answer the questions, and only those who answer right can be drawn. Everything else works as in a giveaway: the prize, the schedule, who can enter, extra entries, the messages, rerolls and claims. Quizzes live under Setup › Giveaways › Quizzes, beside giveaways, and need the same access and Pro or Titan.

Start a quiz

1. Setup › Giveaways › Quizzes, press New quiz. Templates saved from a quiz are offered here; a giveaway's are not.
2. Under Questions, add the questions and mark their correct answers: the right option of a Choice question, every right option of a Checkboxes question, or Add correct answer on a Short text question, where an answer counts when it matches one of them, ignoring case and spaces around it. Questions with no correct answer aren't checked and show Not checked.
3. Set the rest as for a giveaway. Who can enter limits who can enter; under How they enter, Staff approval holds each entry for staff to approve.
4. Press Start quiz, or Schedule quiz for a later start. A quiz starts only once at least one question has its correct answer marked.

How answers are checked

A member passes when every checked question is right. A member who fails is still entered but can't be drawn. They get the usual reply and never see their result or the correct answers. Answers are checked once, at a member's first entry: leaving and entering again keeps the result.

See how it went

Once a quiz runs, its page opens with Quiz: how many entrants Passed, Failed or are Not checked, counting results set by hand, and for each checked question the share of answers that got it right, so a question that trips members up stands out.

Set a result by hand

The quiz's entrant list shows a Quiz column. Anyone who can run quizzes can set an entrant to Passed or Failed, which decides whether they can be drawn, or back to From their answers.
