What Is Formidable Quiz Maker?
Formidable Quiz Maker is developed by Formidable Forms and is a forms plugin for WordPress. It is designed to work as an integrated add-on for the core Formidable Pro builder. It belongs to the forms category on WPExclusive, alongside other tools for data collection and user interaction.
The plugin solves the problem of manual grading by automating the scoring process for teachers, marketers, and course creators. It is for anyone needing to build interactive content like Harry Potter-style personality quizzes or rigorous academic examinations.
Formidable Quiz Maker Features
The feature set is built around turning standard form submissions into dynamic, calculated results with minimal configuration.
Scored and Outcome Quiz Types
Quiz Maker supports two distinct logic paths for results. Scored quizzes assign points to correct answers, producing a numerical total, percentage, or letter grade upon submission. Outcome quizzes use conditional mapping where answers lead to specific profiles, such as personality types or product recommendations, which is ideal for marketing funnels.
Advanced Automated Grading
The plugin allows for sophisticated scoring rules including negative scoring for incorrect answers and weighted points. Users can set text-based answers to require an exact match, contain specific keywords, or use numerical operators like ‘greater than’ or ‘less than’. For complex assessments, the plugin includes a manual grading option where specific fields remain unscored until reviewed by an administrator.
Dynamic Result Displays
Administrators can choose exactly what the user sees after clicking submit. Options include showing the raw score, displaying correct answers for missed questions, or providing a formatted summary of user responses. Shortcodes allow developers to display scores as fractions (9/10), percentages (90%), or letter grades (A) within custom success messages and email notifications.
