Scoring your live quiz

FlexiQuiz offers a choice of ways to score a live quiz, and you can also choose not to award points.

Each question is auto-scored after all players have submitted their answers. Players can see if they got the question right or wrong and view a running total of points collected.

You can view and share a leaderboard of the total points scored for each player.

Important! You cannot award points or a text/ media slide or free text question.

This guide shows you the scoring options and how to set the points on your live quiz.

To start, log in to your FlexiQuiz account and from your main dashboard, press Create Quiz and choose Live Quiz Event.

There are a choice of ways to award points on your live quizzes.

Players are awarded the set points if they get the whole question right.

Option 2: Points per answer option:

You can add or deduct points based on the player's response. If the question has several parts, players can get more points for each correct answer.

1. Add your question and any answer options
2. Tick the box set option points. Blank boxes will now appear next to each answer option.
3. Enter the number of points you would like to add or subtract based on the answer selected
