Quiz question
Create a multiple-choice question with right and wrong answers.
Fast facts about quiz questions:
- Questions can be up to 120 characters.
- Timer options range from 5 seconds to 4 minutes.
- Answers can be up to 75 characters. At least 2 answers are required (4 max), and one must be toggled correct. Questions are “multichoice”, not “multi-response”: while you can add multiple correct answers, participants can only choose one. Participants are awarded points for choosing a correct answer.
- To increase engagement and visually support the question, you can upload an image from your computer or from our image library, or embed a YouTube video. Images must be in PNG, JPEG, or GIF format, in RGB color mode, as well as no larger than 5MB, 3264x3264 pixels. Videos will play before the timer starts, but after answer options are revealed. Participants can choose an answer while the video plays. If you don’t want the entire video to play, you can set “start at” and “stop at” times. These must be in seconds (e.g.: “75”, not “1:15”).
True or false
Create a question with true and false answers pre-filled.
Fast facts about true or false:

It would be cool to be able to make a mix of two modes ex: Jumble and Quiz as lets say you have a quiz about a game so first question is a quiz ex: what is the best weapon. Then the next would be a jumble ex: what is the best weapon. This would make it simpler as you would not have to make 2
Yes I would like to do that to, I was wondering if that was possible, but ok I think it´s not.. Too bad!

How do i disable points for certain quiz questions now?
So what happens to my old surveys if I don't upgrade to Pro?
