Helping you make the best quizzes and courses in 2024

New feature highlights

At FlexiQuiz, we release many new features and fix any minor bugs throughout the year.

Each new feature is built for you. We aim to keep improving your quiz-making experience so that it's simpler, more efficient, and more productive while improving test-taker engagement.

If you have any suggestions for new features, we would love to hear from you.
