Smart Sharing is one of QuizMagic’s most powerful features, allowing you to distribute quizzes to students, track their performance in real-time, and get automatic grading—all without requiring students to create accounts. This guide will walk you through everything you need to know.

Smart Sharing transforms any quiz you’ve created into an interactive online assessment. When you share a quiz using Smart Sharing:
- Students can take the quiz instantly – No login or account required
- Results are graded automatically – See scores the moment students submit
- You get detailed analytics – Track which questions students struggled with
- Anti-cheating protection (Premium) – Detect tab switches, copy attempts, and more
How to Create a Smart Sharing Session
Step 1: Save Your Quiz
Before you can share a quiz, you need to save it first. After generating your quiz:
- Click the “Save” button
- Give your quiz a descriptive title
- Your quiz is now saved in “Saved Quizzes”
Step 2: Open Share Dialog
From the Saved Quizzes page:
- Locate the quiz and click the “Sharing Options” button on your quiz
- Select “Smart Sharing” to create an interactive session
Step 3: Configure Your Session
You’ll see several options:
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
| Session Name | A label for this sharing session (e.g., “Class 3A – Chapter 5 Test”) |
| Time Limit | Optional countdown timer for the quiz |
| Allow Review | Let students see correct answers after submitting |
| Randomize Options | Shuffle multiple-choice options to prevent copying |
| Anti-Cheating | Premium feature that monitors for suspicious behavior |
Step 4: Share the Link
Once configured, click “Create Session”. You’ll receive:
- A unique Share Link (e.g., quizmagic.io/session/abc123)
- A QR Code for easy classroom sharing
Simply share this link with your students via:
- Messaging apps (WhatsApp, Messenger, Teams)
- Learning Management Systems (Google Classroom, Canvas, Moodle)
- Email or class announcements
- Display the QR code on your projector

Understanding Question Analytics
Smart Sharing provides valuable insights about your quiz:
Per-Question Analysis
For each question, you can see:
- Success Rate – What percentage of students answered correctly
- Average Time – How long students spent on this question
- Difficulty Indicator – Questions with low success rates may need review
Using Analytics to Improve Teaching
- Low success rate questions: May indicate topics that need more classroom time
- High time questions: Could be confusing or complex—consider rewording
- 100% success rate: May be too easy—consider more challenging alternatives
Anti-Cheating Features (Premium)
Premium subscribers can enable Anti-Cheating to maintain quiz integrity:
What Gets Detected
- Tab Switching – When students navigate away from the quiz
- Copy/Paste Attempts – Preventing content from being copied
- Right-Click Menu – Blocking context menu access
- Fullscreen Exit – Detecting if students minimize the quiz
How It Works
- Students see a warning before starting that anti-cheating is enabled
- The quiz runs in fullscreen mode
- Once a violation is detected, the quiz auto-submits with a violation flag
Viewing Violations
In your results dashboard:
- Violated attempts show an orange warning badge
- Click to see the exact violation type and timestamp
- You can decide whether to reset their attempt or keep the score

Frequently Asked Questions
