Step 2: Add some questions

The next step to building your quiz is to add in your Questions & Answers.

Make sure to select the correct answer(s) by checking the 'Correct' box and add more answer options as needed.

Please note: You can have more than one answer in a single question by checking multiple boxes. Users will be required to get all the options correct in order to pass the question.

You will see a summary of your question.

From here, you can either add more questions by selecting  or you can move to the next stage of building your quiz by heading to the Settings area.
