For educators

Why not just use Google Forms?

Short answer: Google Forms is a survey tool that can be bent into a quiz. ForQuiz is built for the whole teaching loop — create, run, analyse, follow up.

Making the quiz

In Forms you type each question and its 4 options one by one and mark the answer. In ForQuiz you upload the chapter PDF, tell it which pages ("1, 12-40"), add a line of instruction like "10 MCQs, moderate difficulty", and you get the quiz. Or paste text. Or paste questions you've already written — it'll take them as-is, validate the answers, and fill everything in. Either way each question is auto-tagged to a topic and gets a short "Did You Know" tidbit after it.

Running it in class

Forms gives you a form. ForQuiz gives you a live game: students join with a code, timer per question, faster correct answers score more, and after every question you see the option-wise distribution on screen so you can immediately ask why 40% picked option C. Ends with a 3rd–2nd–1st reveal.

After the quiz

Forms gives you a Sheet, and topic-wise understanding is your problem to build with formulae and pivots. ForQuiz gives you topic-wise accuracy, per-student drilldown, timing and Excel export out of the box.

The part I think you'll actually use

A week later, feed the same chapter again, pick last week's quiz as a reference, and you get a follow-up with no repeated questions but overlapping concepts. Share it as a take-home study restricted to your students (roll no. / email / college domain), one attempt each, randomised order, timed. Then compare the two: if Topic A was 80% in class and 40% a week later, that's a retention gap you can see, not guess.

One thing to know — the PDF needs selectable text. A scanned photocopy won't work.

Happy to run one for your class so you can see it live.

The longer version

The honest framing is that Google Forms is a survey tool with a quiz mode bolted on, and ForQuiz is built end-to-end for someone teaching a batch.

Google Form

  • You create every question manually — paste question text, 4 options, mark correct answer, repeat 10 times with a lot of clicking. Even if the quiz is already ready in a Word doc.
  • No per-question timer, and students can go back and change answers. So there's time to look it up or check with the person next to them.
  • Data lands in a Sheet. To get "% understanding per concept" you have to maintain a mapping sheet of question → concept, then build pivots on it.
  • Roll-number-wise attribution? Separate sheet. Comparing two quizzes? Manual work every time.

ForQuiz

  1. 1

    Creating

    • Upload the chapter PDF (or several), and for each one pick the pages you want — typed as 1, 12-40, 55. Blank means the whole document.
    • Add a one-line instruction like "10 MCQs from Ch. 2, avoid definitions" and it steers the generation.
    • Or paste text instead. Or paste questions you've already written — it uses them as-is, validates each answer, and fills the form for you.
    • Every question gets auto-tagged to a topic, plus a short "Did You Know" after it to reinforce the concept.
    • Everything lands in the editor for you to review and fix before saving. Nothing goes out unchecked.
  2. 2

    Running it live in class

    • Students join with a code. No app, no login.
    • Timed questions, faster correct answers score more — so the ones with clear concepts actually come out on top.
    • After every question, an intermission showing the option-wise distribution. That's your teaching moment: 40% picked option C, ask them why, right then.
    • Ends with a gradual reveal — 3rd, 2nd, 1st.
  3. 3

    After the quiz

    • Topic-wise correctness, question-level accuracy and timing, per-student drilldown, Excel export.
  4. 4

    Follow-up a week later (the retention check)

    • Feed the same chapter again and select last week's quiz as a reference quiz — you get a follow-up with no repeated questions but overlapping concepts.
    • Share it as a take-home study restricted to your students by email, phone, roll number, or your college domain. One attempt each, randomised order, one question at a time, timed, within a schedule window you set.
    • Same analytics as the live quiz.
  5. 5

    And then the comparison

    • Because questions are tagged with concepts, you can compare the live quiz against the take-home one, per topic. If Topic A was 80% in class and 40% a week later, that's a clear retention gap and you know exactly what needs a refresher.

One caveat on PDFs: the text has to be selectable. A scanned photocopy of a book won't extract — it'll tell you rather than silently generating nonsense.

Happy to set one up for your class so you can see it rather than read about it.
