The Start Page

Learners access PressPrimer Quiz on WordPress pages and posts, including on custom post types. When users land on a quiz start page, they’ll see a few important details about the quiz, including:

• The quiz title
• The quiz description (if one was entered)
• The type of quiz
• The total number of questions
• How long they have to complete it (if it’s timed)
• What score they must achieve to pass the quiz
• How many items they have used and how many are available (if the attempt number is limited)
• A list of the user’s 5 most recent attempts for that quiz (if they have previous attempts), with a Show more button to view additional attempts

If the user has no attempt in progress, they will see a Start Quiz button to begin. If they have an attempt in progress, they will see a Resume Quiz button instead.

Guest Users

If someone visits a page with a quiz and is not signed in to a user account, they will see a field to provide an email address. Entering an address is optional, but entering one allows the guest to:

• Receive results via email
• Access results later via a unique link
• Resume quizzes if they navigate away

Note that guest attempts and records expire after 30 days. If records need to be retained for longer, users should instead have accounts and sign in before taking quizzes.

If the site has marketing consent capture enabled, guests will also see an optional consent checkbox next to the email field. The checkbox is unchecked by default, and checking it is never required to start a quiz.

Inside a Quiz

As users progress through quizzes, they will always be able to see:

• The quiz title
• Their progress in the quiz
• A countdown timer (for timed quizzes)
• The question
• Answer options
• Buttons to navigate forward, backward (optional), check answers (optional), and to submit the quiz on completion

There are some important things to consider about timed quizzes for students:

• The time spent on a quiz is retained between sessions; resuming an attempt later doesn’t reset the countdown timer.
• If a user doesn’t submit the quiz attempt in time, their answers will be submitted automatically and they will be redirected to the results page.

Important notes for users

• The Check button to verify answers after making selections only appears for Tutorial Mode quizzes.
• If users haven’t answered any questions and try to submit the quiz, the system will warn them that there are unanswered questions and give them an opportunity ao answer them.
• Quizzes are fully accessible, supporting both keyboard navigation (use the Tab, Enter, Space, and Arrow keys to move between elements and make selections) and screen readers (all elements have ARIA labels).
• Questions and answer options may include images. Students can click any image to open a larger view in a lightbox. Clicking an image to zoom does not select that answer; selection is done with the radio button or checkbox, or by clicking the answer text.
• If the quiz has confidence ratings enabled, a small Low / Medium / High selector appears with each question, asking students how confident they are in their answer. Rating is optional, a selection can be cleared, and confidence never affects the score.
• On practice quizzes, a Practice badge is shown during the quiz, on the results page, and next to practice attempts in attempt history, so students always know when an attempt does not count toward their grades.

The Results Page

After quiz submission, learners see a comprehensive results page. It includes the following:

• The attempt score as a percentage
• The count of questions scored correctly
• Whether the attempt was considered a pass or fail
• The required score to pass
• The time taken to complete the quiz
• The average score of all learners (this will only be shown if enough data exists)
• If the quiz used a question pool (where students see a random subset of available questions), a note will appear indicating that questions were randomly selected from a larger pool.

Beneath the key metrics, users may see the following:

• Category breakdown: If questions in the quiz were assigned to categories, learners will see how they scored in each category.
• Confidence Check: If confidence ratings were enabled, this section highlights questions the student felt sure about but got wrong, and questions they got right despite feeling unsure, each linking to that question in the review below.
• Score-based feedback: If the quiz had quiz-level feedback assigned and the user scored within a band that has a message, that message will be shown.

Users will also see a complete breakdown of the questions, answers and question-level feedback (if this was enabled in the quiz’s settings). Students may then choose to retake the quiz, send themselves a copy of their results (if this isn’t done automatically via quiz settings), or just navigate elsewhere.

Signed-in students can also revisit their results at any time from the My Results screen on the front-end dashboard, if the site has one set up. See The Front-End Dashboard for details.
