How to Create a Google Forms Quiz in 2026 (Step-by-Step)

Start by opening Google Forms from your Google account. Click Blank form to create a new basic form, or choose a template if you want a head start.

At this point, you’re working with a standard form, not a quiz yet.

To convert a form to a quiz, open Settings and toggle Make this a quiz. It enables quiz mode and allows you to assign point values, mark correct answers and missed questions, and automatically provide feedback.

Now it’s time to add your quiz questions. To insert a new question, click the “+” icon on the right panel. If you need more questions, just keep clicking the add question button.

Next, choose the question type from the dropdown menu next to the question title. Google Forms supports multiple choice, checkboxes, dropdowns, and other question types. Enter your question text and provide possible answers if applicable.

 
To set up scoring, click Answer key to mark the correct answer(s), assign point values, and add optional feedback for correct or incorrect responses.

 
Finally, to ensure participants answer a question before moving on, toggle the Required option.

Google Forms lets you customize the overall look of your quiz to match your needs. You can update the top banner by choosing an image from Google’s built-in gallery or uploading your own. It’s also easy to change the background color and adjust fonts. While the customization options are limited, they’re enough to keep the look clean and consistent.

 
You can also add images or videos to individual questions by using the corresponding icons on the sidebar. This is especially useful for adding context or simply making the quiz more interactive.

When your quiz is ready, click Publish in the top-right corner. A pop-up will appear. Here you can manage respondents and confirm publishing.

 
After publishing, you’ll get a shareable link that you can add to emails or share anywhere else you want.

To review your results, open the Responses tab at the top of your quiz. Here, you can see individual quiz responses and overall performance.

If you want to dig deeper into the data, you can export quiz responses to Google Sheets for further analysis and reporting.

This level of reporting works well for simple quizzes and basic assessments. But if you’re looking for more advanced features like conditional logic or deeper analytics, you’ll need a more powerful quiz tool like Opinion Stage.

When you create a quiz with Opinion Stage, you have a few different ways to get started. You can build a quiz from scratch, choose a ready-made template, import questions, or use the AI quiz maker to generate a quiz in minutes.

 
Once you’re in the builder, you can customize the design by adjusting the color scheme, buttons, and overall layout. If you want to completely customize your quiz, you can add custom CSS and your own logo.

You can also add images and videos to questions and answers, making your quiz more engaging. In the settings, you can define the quiz language and apply skip logic to control how users move through the quiz.

 
For the results page, you can create custom result cards and add a lead form to capture a respondent’s name and email. This makes it easy to turn quiz engagement into meaningful leads.

Opinion Stage offers multiple ways to share your quiz, so it fits seamlessly into your workflow. You can generate a shareable link to add your quiz to emails or post directly to social media platforms. Plus, you can share your quiz using a QR code.

 
If you want to embed the quiz on your website, Opinion Stage provides ready-to-use embed options with clear instructions for platforms like WordPress, Squarespace, Wix, and Shopify. You can also copy the code for an iframe or use a general embed option to place the quiz exactly where you want.

Opinion Stage provides detailed performance reports that help you understand how users interact with your quiz. In the Performance section, you can track key metrics such as views, starts, responses, average completion time, engagements, and CTA clicks.

 
In addition, the Question Summaries section shows how users answered each question, while the Closing Report helps you evaluate how people interact with your final screen or results. Together, these insights make it easy to optimize your quiz and improve results over time.

And that’s it. Now you’re done!
