Hi, everyone, today we are going to make a quiz using Google Forms. By the end of this video,
you'll know how to add questions, change question types, see how the answers are graded,
choose correct answers, and even analyze the results. Today's theme is Star Wars, so I hope
you're ready to get geeky with me. There are three ways you can start a new Google Forms quiz. You
can either start by going into your Google Drive and selecting the new menu, and then there will
be a Forms icon right there for you to select. Or you could go to forms.google.com to get a new
form that will be totally blank. But the easiest way to do it is to go to forms.new, which will
immediately drop you into a new form. Here we are on a blank, untitled form in the Google Form app.
The first thing I want to do is change the name of my quiz to something besides untitled form. I want
to name this Star Wars quiz. We'll do that up in the top left, and you'll notice it populates here
in the middle as well. Next, I will head over to settings where I will select the toggle, make this
a quiz. There are a few different settings that I want to talk about and highlight here today. The
first one is this one called release grades. So, what this means is that immediately after someone
who's taking your quiz submits it, they will see the grade that they got. The next setting,
I want to highlight is one under responses. Here, I want to limit the responses to one. This means
that people can't keep coming back and taking the quiz over and over. Next, I want to highlight one
of the settings here under presentation. I like to enable the progress bar because that
way your quiz takers know how far along they are in the quiz, especially if you have a large quiz,
maybe 30 questions. It's a big test. This way, people know how much longer they have to spend on
the quiz. And last but not least, I always include a confirmation message to let my quiz takers know
that we have recorded their submission. And in this case, I'm going to say impressive,
most impressive, and then I will hit save. There are many other settings you can configure, but
for now, we are all set. Next, I'm going to move to the really important part of this quiz. The
questions section. The first thing I want to do is add a form description or a description for the
quiz. I will add a little bit of Star Wars humor in here and then start on my first question. Our
first question is going to be who built C3PO? And next, I'm going to start writing in some options.
I'll write Leia here, and then I will put a number of other options for our quiz goers. Now that I've
added in a number of possible answers, I need to tell Google Forms which is the correct answer for
this quiz, and to do so, I will go down to the bottom left here and select answer key. Now,
I hope those of you watching know the correct answer for the truly geeky you already know it is,
in fact, Anakin Skywalker. So, we will select that little green arrow appears. And if you
consider this question easy, you might assign it five points. And if you consider it difficult,
you might add 10 points. It's really up to the quiz creator to decide how many points
each question is worth. If you want to have some fun with your quiz takers and get a little cheeky,
you can actually add some answer feedback. Here you can add feedback for incorrect answers and
correct answers. For incorrect answers, I'm going to have the following feedback. Curse your metal
body. You weren't smart enough. I also want to include a link to Wookiepedia so our quiz takers
can learn a little more about C3PO. I'll hit add. And then for correct answers, I will paste in
You have done well. Now that I've added in feedback, I want to leave this answer key
area by selecting done in the bottom right. So far, our quiz is only one question, and I want to
add another one. To do so, I will go up here to this circle icon with the plus inside of it and
click add question. Although multiple choice is the most common type of questions, Google Forms
does provide a number of options such as paragraph and short answer. We're actually going to make our
next question a short answer question. My next question is going to be which famous character
grew up on a planet destroyed by the Death Star? Next, we'll want to go and add answers in the
answer key. First, we'll type in Leia, but people might actually type in Princess Leia. This is an
interesting distinction. So, you're telling forms that either of these two answers are OK to use.
And then here you can select this box to mark all other answers as incorrect. Once you've done that,
you can change the point value. I'm going to set this to 10 and then click done. I don't
feel like adding any more answer feedback for this question. I'll also want to ensure that this is a
required question on my quiz, so I will toggle the slider here. If you want to alter the order
of your questions, one of the nice features in Google Forms is you can grab them and move them
around. The quiz is coming together nicely, but it's looking a little bland. I think I want to add
some spice to it, some imagery maybe. Up here, you can actually use this paint icon to click
Customize Theme. And here we have this nice option to choose an image to add to the header. I really
like this. So, there are some stock photos you can choose from, but I want to upload something that's
very Star Wars related. Here we have one on our desktop, say open. Next, it'll ask me to size it,
and I want the words Star Wars in there. Then I'll click done on the bottom right. And there you have
it. Star Wars header beautifully displayed at the top of our quiz. You may have noticed that the
entire coloring of the quiz has changed. Google does this really smart thing where they pull in
all of the main colors from your image and set it as your theme. You could always choose to edit
this or any of the fonts if you so choose to. In addition to headers, each question can have its
own image or video. I think I'll add one here for the C3PO option. One really interesting thing that
Google does is it leverages some of its search capability and you can look for an image of C3PO
and see what comes up. This looks good. I'll choose this one and insert it into the question.
The image comes in quite large in the beginning, but with a slight resizing down, I think it'll fit
this quiz nicely. Next, I want to know when people have taken my quiz. So, to do that,
I'm going to go to the responses tab and I'm going to click these three ellipses and say,
get email notifications for new responses. Additionally, in here,
you can select the destination for your responses. I want them to show up in a Google spreadsheet,
and you can choose to target the answers to land on an existing spreadsheet you already have,
say if you're a teacher and you're trying to do a quiz every quarter with a new class. But also,
if you just leave it blank, they will create a new one for you. So far, I have zero responses to my
quiz, but I can see it has been enabled to accept responses. So, the quiz is ready to rock. I think
the quiz is coming together nicely, but before I choose to send it, I want to see what it'll look
like when people actually receive the quiz. To do that, I'm going to use this preview icon up here.
It's in the shape of an eye. I actually find this quiz to be quite professional looking. I like the
color scheme. It's really, you know, taking the joy of Star Wars and putting it into this quiz,
and I think people have a good time with it. If I want to exit this preview mode, I'll just go down
to the bottom right hand and click edit this form to take us back to the menu we were in previously.
When I'm ready to publish or send the quiz out, I get to click this big rectangular send button up
here. And Google has some neat options to send the quiz out. You can do the standard way via email,
but you can also send it through a link. So, if you want to send it over a group chat or something
like that. And if this link seems a bit daunting, you can always shorten it. Additionally, you can
choose to embed this on a website if you want your quiz to live longer, or you can send it over
Facebook or Twitter. I want to share this quiz with some friends over a chat. So, I will go down
here, copy the link, and then close this out so we can see when the responses start to come in. And
I'll look at that. Someone has already responded. I will move over to the responses tab to see how
they did, and one of the things I want to call out here is that you can look at the responses at a
high level in the summary section. You can look at the average amount of points, the frequently
missed questions, things like that. But you can also look at the individual level to see how
your quiz takers did person by person, and you can also do some question analytics here as well. For
even more in-depth analysis, you can click into the spreadsheet to see how people are responding
and export this if you want to or manipulate the data however you like. And there you have it. The
simple, fun, and easy way to make a quiz using Google Forms. I'd love to hear how it went for
you. Please share how it went in the comments down below or just share your favorite Star
Wars trivia or Star Wars quote. Please consider subscribing and we will see you in the next video.
