Making a Quiz in PowerPoint (Description + Video)


Hey everyone...

Today you will all be learning how to make quizzes in MS Powerpoint. Yes, Yes, it is the same which you have installed in your computer, not any other one...

It is a very simple process. Actually, what we make is a multiple choice quiz, in which the player selects an option from the given ones. On clicking the right one, he is directed towards a "CONGRATULATIONS!" page, where he is also given the option to proceed to the next question. Otherwise, in case of clicking a wrong option, he is redirected to "SORRY! WRONG ANSWER" page, where he is given the option to return to the same question.

This method is famous because of its simplicity. You will not have to enter any coding, or anything. All you would have to do is make different slides, and then hyperlinking the texts on it to other slides. Now some of you might be confused with the language used here, as it might seem new to some of you. But believe me, they are all buttons I am talking about, which you would have to click. 

To make this process easier, and this post shorter, I have made a video for you, embedded below. Once you watch it, making quizzes for you would be as easy as a piece of cake (literally).

In the video I have used Microsoft PowerPoint 2010, but the same process can also be done on MS Powerpoint 2007. I did not embed an MS PowerPoint 2003 video cuz its quite old, and no one uses it these days...  Anyhow, watch the video below for more info...



Easy eeh... Ya! I also know... So I guess you would enjoy producing some quizzes...

Yes, I also didnt forget scoring, but the problem was that it would require some visual basic code to be added, which would simply make the quiz complicated, and people would not find it easy to make... So, to keep the simplicity, I think that a quiz like this without scoring would probably work...

See you in my next post... Till then...
