1. What is a quiz?

Quizzes help people learn because they measure understanding and retention. Testing knowledge and comprehension shows educators where students need more support, so they can adjust their instruction and teaching strategies. Quizzes also promote active learning, which pushes students to engage more deeply with the material and think critically about it. Over time, seeing their own progress can build a student's confidence and motivation.

For both students and educators, a quiz built with a quiz maker is a practical way to assess knowledge, spot areas for improvement, and keep learning going. This lesson covers three common use cases for quizzes.

• Conducting Education Quiz
• Conducting Fun Quiz
• Conducting Self-check Quiz
