Multiple-choice with a single response

Multiple-choice (formerly Single-choice) is a question type where respondents select one answer from a list of available options.

FlexiQuiz displays these options using radio buttons, and you can choose how they appear - such as in a horizontal or vertical layout to suit your quiz design.

This format is commonly used in educational assessments, pub quizzes, aptitude tests, yes-or-no questions, surveys, and many other scenarios.

With FlexiQuiz, you can also use our Check box question type to create multiple-choice questions that allow respondents to select more than one answer from a list of options. For more details, check out our check box help guide.

This guide shows you how to add a multiple choice question to your quiz.
