Help / Respondent accounts

Respondent accounts provide a personalized portal for quiz takers to track and take quizzes or tests assigned to them. However, respondents are not able to create or share their own quizzes or tests.

Respondent accounts work well for quiz makers who want to assign regular quizzes or tests to participants and track results. For example:

  • Company training & compliance courses
  • Students learning & testing plans for the year
