How to make an online quiz — from blank screen to marked report.

1. Create the quiz

Start a new quiz in your browser with the online quiz maker, Quizoma Studio, or in the Android app — it is the same quiz either way. You can type questions directly, or import them from a .txt or .csv file if you already have a question bank written down. The free quiz templates — science quiz questions, a grammar quiz and a general knowledge quiz — are ready-made files to try it with. Each question gets a format, and Quizoma supports six of them:

• Single choice (MCQ) — one right answer out of several.
• Multiple correct — more than one right answer, with partial credit.
• True / False — the fastest thing to write and the fastest thing to mark.
• Written short answer — a sentence or a phrase, graded by rules you choose.
• Fill in the blanks — one or many blanks, each with its own accepted answers.
• Poll — no scoring, just the room's opinion. The app shows totals, not who picked what.

The decision that matters most is on the written questions: how strictly should this answer be matched? Exact text, case-sensitive, typo-tolerant, keyword coverage, or numeric equivalence. That single setting is what separates a quiz that punishes a slip of the thumb from one that doesn't — there is a full breakdown of how to auto-grade short answers.

2. Invite the people taking it

When the quiz is ready, Quizoma generates a 6-character quiz code and a matching QR code. That is the entire invitation mechanism. There is no class roster to build, no email addresses to collect, and no accounts to create in advance.

Read the code out, write it on the board, or put the QR on a projector. Participants who have the app can scan it; everyone else goes to quizoma.com/take in whatever browser is already on their phone or laptop. Nothing to install, no app store detour.

3. They join and answer

Participants enter the code, sign in with their Google account so their answers can be attributed to a real person, and start answering. The questions come one at a time on a screen designed for a phone held in one hand.

The important part is invisible: every answer is written to the device the moment it is given, and only then synced to the server. School Wi-Fi that drops in the middle of a test is an ordinary event, not a disaster — when the connection returns, the queued answers go up on their own. Nobody restarts, nobody loses ten minutes of work.

The participants screen lists everyone who has joined and everyone who has submitted, and refreshes each time you open it. Your phone also gets a notification when someone joins and when someone submits, so you can leave the screen and still know where the room is.

4. Review the results

The moment a participant submits, the whole thing is already scored. Multiple choice, true/false, multiple-correct with partial credit, and written answers against the matching rules you set — all done, no queue, no waiting.

You can open any submission afterwards to read an answer in full, change a mark you disagree with, and add a comment if you want the participant to understand the score.

Then export the whole thing as a PDF report — scores, per-question breakdowns, every answer, and your comments — ready to file, print, or send to a parent.

What it looks like end to end

For a twenty-question class test, the realistic time budget is roughly: ten minutes to write the quiz, five seconds to share the code, however long the test runs, and then a few minutes looking over the written answers to see whether you agree with the marks. The marking that used to happen on the drive home mostly doesn't exist any more.
