We'll keep expanding this FAQ with time. Here is a start:
1. What is the
Maximum Question Limit?
There is no limit to the maximum questions your quiz can contain.
2. How can I
remove the advertising?
Though we were not planning this initially, due to popular demand, we are working on a premium version where you can pay to remove ads. Expect this sometime in early 2009. In the meanwhile, you can embed quizzes back on your site using the embed code (widget). Quizzes that run on your site will not carry any advertising. This feature is both free of cost and free of any advertising.
3. Can I have a
private quiz?
Yes you can. See under "Accessibility" tab when you create or edit a quiz. You can assign a password to the quiz and only share the password with users who are authorized.
4. What is the
maximum limit on quiz takers?
There is no limit on how many students may take the quiz. Our online statistics like "quiz attempts", graphs for easiest/most difficult quiz questions etc take all quiz attempts into account. However we only store the last 100 quiz reports on our site. You can however download the score data to your machine everytime you get close to 100 quiz attempts. Once again, all attempts are taken into account when we update statistic graphs, its just that we only store the last 100 attempts for viewing online.
5. Can I
change my username?
Sorry, you can not. Its the way our system and other members recognize you. It is much like a driver's license or passport equivalent at ProProfs.com and can not be changed.
6. Can I
prevent quiz re-take and allow only 1 attempt?
Yes, please see the How-To guide:
How To Allow Specific Number Of Attempts. Also note that each attempt is recorded. You can also filter the reports table by username to view or remove duplicate attempts by the same user.
7. Can I
capture email address or contact details of each quiz taker?
You can create an essay style question, ask for what ever details to be typed in and assign that question a score of zero. Other options include asking users to
request password (Note: they will need to register first in this case and widget does not support this feature). On password approval you can even allocate a certain number of attempts.
8. Can I
record who took my quiz and each score report ?
Yes, please
HOW TO Guide on recording each score report9. How can I
grade essays??
Please see
How to Guide on grading10. How do I
share the quiz on my site?
There are number of options. Simplest way is to simply share the link to the quiz at ProProfs. Another option is paste the embed code of the quiz on your website. This way the quiz will run on your website - no programming is required for this. Simply paste the embed code into the HTML of your webpage and the quiz will run on your website. See the sample under the "share" tab of the Quiz School tour. It shows a quiz embedded at a blog. The tour is at:

disallow attempts after a certain date?

12. Can I
