What's next?

  • Use question types that support custom scoring to give a score to each answer, so that an overall score will be calculated at the end of the survey. Not all question types support this feature by default, however you can use formulas to add custom score to your forms, open ended and ranking inquiries.
  • Formulas "using all responses" and Formula Filters: This feature allows you to calculate formulas including all survey responses and make calculations taking into account all responses collected and not just a single respondent's information. Enable this feature so that you can calculate averages, count responses, and more.
  • Leaderboad feature allows you to show at the final screen everyone's results. When you take a quiz or test, it’s always fun to compare your results with others. This way you can see how well you’ve really done. You can choose to display at the beginning or end of the quiz.
