    What types of quizzes can I create?

    QuizMagic.io supports various quiz types, allowing you to create diverse and effective assessments:

    • Multiple Choice Questions
    • True/False
    • Fill in the Blanks
    • Short Answer Questions
    • Mixed Quiz Types

    You can also choose from different difficulty levels (Easy, Medium, Hard) and generate between 5 to 100 questions per quiz.

    What is a Mixed Quiz Type?

    A Mixed Quiz Type allows you to create quizzes with multiple question formats in a single quiz. You can combine different question types (like Multiple Choice with True/False questions) and specify how many questions of each type you want. This gives you maximum flexibility to create diverse and engaging assessments.

    3. Sharing, Grading, and Integrity (Advanced Features)

    How do I auto-grade quizzes using Smart Sharing?

    Auto-grading is achieved through our Smart Sharing feature, which is necessary for tracking student performance and maintaining academic integrity.

    Setting Up Auto-Graded Quizzes:

    1. Save your quiz: After generating, click the “Save Quiz” button.
    2. Enable Smart Sharing: Go to your Saved Quizzes page and click “Sharing Options.”
    3. Create a Session: Choose the “Smart Sharing” tab.
    4. Configure session settings: Define your Session Name and Time Limit (optional). You may also enable Anti-Cheating. Then click on “Create Session”.
    5. Share the link: From your Saved Quizzes page, click the “View Session” button or go to the Smart Sharing page and locate the session you created. Under the “Actions” column, click the “Share link” button.

    How Auto-Grading Works:

    When students complete the quiz, QuizMagic.io instantly:

    • Calculates their score and percentage.
    • Records the time taken.
    • Saves all their responses.
    • Monitors for any violations (if anti-cheating is enabled).

    This works automatically for all question types: Multiple Choice, True/False, Fill in the Blanks, Short Answer, and Mixed Quizzes.

    Tracking Student Performance:

    QuizMagic’s Smart Sharing feature provides comprehensive student tracking:

    • Real-time submissions – See student responses as they complete quizzes
    • Automatic scoring – Instant grading with detailed breakdowns
    • Question analytics – View performance statistics for each question
    • Score overrides – Manually adjust scores when needed
    • Export individual results – Download each student’s detailed answer sheet as PDF or DOCX, including their responses, correct answers, and score breakdown
    • Bulk export – Download all student data as CSV for further analysis

    Access Smart Sharing from the quick access buttons on your dashboard or from any saved quiz.

    What’s the difference between Smart Sharing and Simple Sharing?

    Anti-CheatingIncludedNone
    Login/RegistrationNot required for studentsNot required for students

    Note: For auto-grading and student performance tracking, you must use Smart Sharing.

    What specific Anti-Cheating Features are monitored?

    When the Anti-Cheating feature is enabled, the system monitors for:

    • Tab switching (leaving the quiz page).
    • Copy/paste attempts.
    • Right-click blocking.
    • Fullscreen exit detection.
    • Developer tools usage.

    The system automatically submits the quiz if violations occur. All violation data is recorded with timestamps and types for your review.

    Can I save and share my quizzes?

    Yes!

    • Free users can save 1 quiz and 1 summary and share that saved quiz using both Simple and Smart Sharing methods (including anti-cheating and tracking).
    • Premium users can save unlimited quizzes & summaries, share them all using both methods, and export them as PDFs with custom headers and footers.

    Why doesn’t the site load on my school/office WiFi?

    Some corporate, school, or public WiFi networks block certain cloud services for security reasons. If QuizMagic.io doesn’t load on your WiFi but works fine on mobile data, your network is likely blocking our backend services.

    For Network Administrators: QuizMagic.io uses Supabase for backend services. To allow access, please whitelist the following domain: htjjpxmcmixhejmobxkh.supabase.co

    Is there an API available?

    Currently, QuizMagic.io is a web-based platform. We’re exploring API options for the future based on user demand.
