What Is a Dropdown Quiz?

A dropdown quiz is an interactive assessment where learners select the correct answer from a dropdown list embedded within a sentence or statement. It’s ideal for testing knowledge of sequences, grammar, vocabulary, technical terms, and more, without overwhelming learners with too many visible options. Dropdown quizzes streamline the interface, reduce visual clutter, and encourage focused thinking. It’s simple, clean, and highly effective for training and certifying learners.

Frequently Asked Questions

When should I use a dropdown quiz instead of a multiple-choice format?

Dropdown quizzes are best used when you want to save screen space or present longer answer options without cluttering the interface. They're especially helpful in mobile-first assessments or when a cleaner layout is a priority. They're also great for matching questions or fill-in-the-blank style formats that require precise selections.

Can I add more than one dropdown in a single question?

Yes, you can simulate multiple dropdowns in a single question by formatting it as a fill-in-the-blank or cloze-style question with several dropdown fields. ProProfs Quiz Maker supports a variety of such configurations through advanced quiz types or workarounds using cloze tests.

Are dropdown questions auto-graded?

Absolutely. Like multiple-choice questions, dropdown questions in ProProfs Quiz Maker can be automatically graded. You assign the correct answer during setup, and learners are scored instantly upon submission, saving instructors valuable review time.

Can I convert an existing question into a dropdown format?

Yes. With ProProfs Quiz Maker, you can convert any multiple-choice question into a dropdown question in just one click. Simply edit the question and switch the answer type from “Multiple Choice” to “Dropdown” in the options menu.

Do dropdown quizzes work well on mobile devices?

They do. In fact, dropdowns are often preferred for mobile assessments because they minimize scrolling and keep the UI minimal. ProProfs quizzes are fully responsive, ensuring dropdowns function smoothly on all screen sizes.
