Using Qualtrics for Quizzes
As a survey system, Qualtrics is also capable of creating quizzes. If you have an assignment that involves an online quiz, this may be a good way to go about it.

Quiz Summaries for Respondents
You can select one or the other of the options for quiz summaries, or you can select both. Here is a description of what you will see based on your selection(s):
Show End of Survey Summary (only)
When a respondent clicks SUBMIT at the end of the quiz, after answering the last question, the summary page returned shows points earned on the quiz out of total points possible for the quiz and the percentage correct. (View a sample of this summary.)
RECOMMENDED OPTION
Show Summary After Every Question (only)
If your quiz has multiple pages, when a respondent clicks SUBMIT at the bottom of each page, a summary of the questions on that page appears. For each question, it indicates either correctly selected answers (green checkmark) or incorrectly selected answers (red X) with the correct answer in light green text. This summary appears after each page is completed. (View a sample of this summary.)
RECOMMENDATION: Use this option with one-page quizzes only. Providing a summary after each page in a multiple page quiz may be disruptive to quiz takers.
Selecting Both Options
Question summaries appear after each page. After the question summaries of the final quiz page, a final page with the End of Survey Summary appears, providing a quiz summary and all question summaries.
NOT RECOMMENDED
Shown here are sample quiz summaries:
Sample of End of Survey Summary
The End of Survey Summary shows points earned on the quiz out of total points possible for the quiz and the percentage correct. The quiz summary is followed by details for each question.
Sample of Summary After Every Question
The After Every Question Summary shows the points earned out of the total points possible for the question. Correct answers are marked with a green checkmark and incorrect answers are marked with a red X, with the correct answer in light green text.
Sample: Quiz Results
For the creator of the quiz, viewing the results is much like viewing any survey results. However, the correct answer(s) are indicated.
