Build effective online tests using our free online quiz maker.

Points are the main goal of an online quiz as they highlight the knowledge level of each respondent in particular. You can easily assign points for each question; let’s show you how!

Select a question that you have added on the form. In the right side panel, under Options, you will find Quiz options.

Once clicked, a pop-up opens where you can assign points to each answering option and mark which one is correct. On the bottom right, you’ll notice the Form total points assigned so far for your online quiz. Each time you assign new points, the changes will automatically take effect in this box. This will help you keep track of how many points are assigned to your online quiz at that moment.

To learn how to add a countdown timer to your online quiz, you can also check out our tutorial:

Visitors could search the Web for the correct answers while completing your online quiz. Because of this, we have provided you with the countdown timer option. This will submit the quiz automatically after the time has elapsed. Visitors will be against the clock upon completing the online quiz and will not have enough time to look up the answers from other sources.

To enable this option on your online quiz in our form builder, simply go to the Advanced → Quiz section of your form and tick the Show countdown timer option.

In the dropdown list, you can set the online quiz to count the time in seconds, minutes, or hours. In the box on the left, add the exact amount of time you want to set the countdown timer. Lastly, hit Save from the bottom of the page, and you are done.

How the countdown timer works

From now on, respondents will see a countdown timer on the top right corner of the quiz. Once the time elapsed, the quiz will submit automatically.

It’s important to note that when the countdown finishes, if the respondent has not filled out anything on the form, they will see a message saying “Sorry, time’s up! You can’t submit your answers anymore”. No submission will be created since nothing was filled out, so you will not see it in the submissions table.

However, if the respondent has filled out the form partially but did not have time to submit it, once the countdown finishes the form simply submits automatically and a new submission, with the partial answers, will be created in the submissions table.

Pay attention if you have required fields on your form because the form will not be able to submit once the countdown ends, if required fields are left empty. Therefore, a new submission will not be created. We recommend for timed quizzes to not use required fields on your form.

To learn how to show quiz results after submission you can also check out our small tutorial:

Quiz results can be published on the Thank You page immediately after the submission is made. To enable this option, access the Thank You page section and select Show quiz results.

You can also add a custom message to appear on this page. Just edit the default message from the text box under the Show quiz results option.

Enable the Show missed answers option from the Advanced → Quiz tab to show all the missed and the correct answers to your users after submission.

The quiz results of each submission will be present in the Submissions section of your form, under the column header Quiz Score. Furthermore, you can also include the quiz score in report filters and rules.

You may even add the quiz score to the content of your email templates. This way, you can send your form respondents the quiz score that they’ve received via email. Set up your custom email by going to the Emails section. Afterward, select the plus sign from the email Body to add the Quiz score variable. Check out our guide for more detailed instructions.

If you’ve started using our online quiz maker and need to count partial answers in your quiz results – this is the tutorial for you.

Partial answers are designed for multiple choice fields where respondents can select more correct answers for the same question. You can add two different types of partial answers on your online quiz: with deduction or without deduction.

You’ll find them in the Advanced → Quiz section of your form.

By ticking the option Enable Partial Answers, you’ll need to select one of them to use for your online quiz.

Both of these options calculate the success rate in the percentage of each question after submission. Given that an unchecked incorrect answer is considered a correct choice, it will receive the same amount of percentage as a correct answer. This means if correct answer A is checked and incorrect answer B is not, both of them are worth the same.

If you are a Wix Premium or Weebly Silver user, you have unlimited API calls/day.

Are you worried about spam compromising your online forms? Explore the significance of verification codes on 123FormBuilder. Discover how these codes bolster security by preventing malicious bot attacks and maintaining data integrity.

Imagine organizing an event and using 123FormBuilder to create an online registration form where participants can sign up for the event. However, as the registration form is being shared with the public, you encounter a sudden surge in suspicious registrations.

The influx of spam registrations not only clutters your database with irrelevant information but now you are also spending time deleting the submissions made by spambots.

Spam and bot attacks make it vital to take steps to protect your data. 123FormBuilder offers a solution consisting of verification codes. They add an extra layer of security to your forms by requiring users to prove they are human. 

By doing so, they prevent malicious bots from accessing your data and keep your information safe from harm. Additionally, verification codes help maintain data integrity by ensuring that only legitimate form submissions are accepted. 

A verification code is a security protection method used by form owners to prevent Internet robots from abusing and spamming their forms. The code is usually a combination of letters and numbers that the user must enter correctly before submitting the form.

There are different verification code types, but the most commonly used is CAPTCHA. This generates a random code within an image next to a text box. The form visitor has to type in the exact code for the form data to be sent.

Owners have the option to disable web form verification codes on 123FormBuilder. However, this makes the forms more vulnerable to spam attacks.

We encourage our form builder users to use verification codes whenever possible on their forms. You can find them in the Security section of the Form Editor, under Captcha settings, and at the bottom of your form in the form editor.

Smart Captcha – this verification code will appear only when your form is abused

reCAPTCHA – the verification code will always be displayed

Verification codes, such as Smart Captcha or reCAPTCHA, can enhance the security of online forms, prevent spam, and protect data legitimacy. Implementing these codes can provide peace of mind, safeguarding online interactions from malicious entities. Don’t leave your online security to chance; take advantage of 123FormBuilder’s verification codes today!

New Thank You page

123FormBuilder allows you to redirect your respondents to a webpage after they complete a submission on your form. To set this up, from the Create tab of your form, select Thank You on the left-side panel.

You will find the Redirect to URL option at the top of the right-side menu. Once you enable this feature, more options will open below.

First, add the URL where you want to redirect your form respondents. Optionally, you can also type in a Title for your link. You can choose to open the webpage on the Same page or in a New tab.

If you want to redirect your users automatically, then disable the Show “Thank You” Page toggle. Otherwise, your users will reach the Thank you page and be redirected after a few seconds. You can even set the Seconds until redirect: between 5 and 60 seconds.

Legacy Thank You page

You can redirect users to a web page URL after they submit your form. To enable this feature in the form builder, from the Form Editor select the Thank You section.

After that, click the Redirect to a web page option and add the URL in the box below. Make sure to use a secured URL (starting with https).

You can choose to open the web page in four ways:

• in the default frame. This depends on the situation. This option is selected by default to let our platform pick the most suitable way to open the webpage, depending on aspects such as the browser the form visitor is on.
• in the same frame. The webpage opens within the same window. However, when the form is embedded, it might open inside the layout of the web form.
• in the parent frame. The webpage opens in the same tab of the browser, on the entire window. The same goes when the form is embedded on a website.
• in new frame (if browser allows it). The webpage opens in a new window. If form visitors use popup blockers on their browsers, chances are the webpage will not show after submitting the web form.
