Creating your question bank

FlexiQuiz offers a choice of quick and easy ways to add all your quiz questions to your question bank.

Account Administrators and Trainers with permissions to Create/ Edit quizzes can add any question to the bank.

These are your options:

You can add questions individually when you create or edit questions within the FlexiQuiz create screen.
This method works well if you've created some great questions in an existing quiz that you'd like to save for use in the future. You need to add questions individually if you're including media or using fill-in-the-blanks or picture choice questions.
Or, upload multiple questions using the FlexiQuiz excel template.
This option works well if you would like to add a large number of questions quickly.

This guide provides step by step instructions on adding questions to your bank individually or with a bulk upload.
