Help / How to make your quiz private

Sharing your quiz or course with a private audience

FlexiQuiz makes it easy to create quizzes and courses that you can share publicly with anyone or privately with a selected audience.

Private sharing gives you greater control over who can access your content so instead of making your quiz available to everyone, you can restrict access to specific individuals or groups.

This is especially useful for exams, employee and recruitment assessments, certification programs, internal training, and paid quiz or course content where secure, controlled access is important.

This guide shows you the different ways that you can share your quiz privately with people you choose.


# 1. Send an email to invite people to take your quiz.

Send each learner a personalized email containing their own unique quiz link.

You can set how many times learners can access the link to prevent them from taking the test and sharing the link with others.

For an extra layer of security, you can also add a registration page to capture the learner information before they start. You can track when learners open their link and complete the test from your Analyze screen.

# 2. Password protection

Add an extra layer of security by protecting your quiz with a password.

Add a password to your registration page, then share your quiz using a link or email invitation. All test-takers use the same password to gain access, and anyone who enters an incorrect password will be unable to view your quiz content.

# 3. Control access with unique codes

Give each learner a unique access code to securely enter your quiz.

Test-takers enter their code on a dedicated landing page before accessing the quiz. You can create your own codes or let FlexiQuiz generate them automatically.

For greater control, you can limit how many times learners can use the code, choose when access becomes available, and deactivate codes at any time to prevent further entry.

# 4. Assign quizzes through Respondent portals

Give each learner their own Respondent portal where they can securely access all quizzes, courses and training materials assigned to them.

Learners sign in using a unique username and password, giving you greater control over who can access your content. For added security, they can also enable two-factor authentication (2FA) on their FlexiQuiz portal.

# 5. Sell quizzes and courses securely

If you want to restrict access to paying customers, you can add a sales landing page before your quiz or course.

Learners can only access your content after visiting the landing page and completing payment securely through Stripe. Once payment is successful, they can continue to the quiz or course.

# 6. Restrict access by IP address

Control where people can access your quizzes by allowing only approved IP addresses.

If a test-taker tries to open a quiz from an IP address that isn’t on your approved list, they’ll see a message letting them know access has been denied.

This is ideal for exams or assessments that you want learners to take from specific locations, such as a school, university, office, or testing center.

Learn more about setting IP restrictions.


# 7. Set passing grades

Lock access to quizzes until people get a passing grade. Students must achieve a passing grade on the first quiz before accessing specific quizzes and training materials.

FlexiQuiz grade-based redirects allow you to set what learners can view based on their grade.
