If you're looking for a way to create a quiz on WordPress without coding, you've come to the right place!
Today, we'll show you how to use a drag-and-drop form builder to create cool interactive quizzes that will go viral on your site!
Let's get started.
Why make a quiz in WordPress?
Online quizzes are hugely popular. Not only are they great for increasing engagement on your website (which we all know Google loves!), but they're also a proven way to turn more visitors into subscribers or customers.
Some studies have shown you can double conversion rates by adding a quiz to your website. And that's a big payoff for pretty minimal effort.
So it's no wonder we see fun online quizzes and polls everywhere: BuzzFeed, Facebook, Twitter, and even many eCommerce sites selling skincare, supplements, hair products, etc.
There's no limit to their uses!
A helpful or entertaining quiz can help you:
- Build your mailing list
- Improve your email marketing strategy
- Get market research insights on your visitors
- Increase brand awareness
- Create a quiz funnel
Most people think these quiz types are only for finding what princess you are or to test trivia knowledge.
But they go way beyond that. You can create spelling tests, outcome quizzes, and online exams and generate leads simultaneously.

Alright, it's clear that quizzes offer many advantages. So, let's get one on your website! The easiest way is with a quiz maker WordPress plugin. You could create a quiz in WordPress without a plugin, but that would take hours of code.
Instead, we recommend a plugin to make things simpler.
What's the best quiz plugin for WordPress?
We've tested the best WordPress quiz plugins on the market, and Formidable Forms beats them all.
Of course, we may be a bit biased, but you don't have to take our word for it...

- Drag-and-drop quiz builder
- Customizable results page
- Unlimited quizzes
- Unlimited responses
Plus, it's user-friendly, offers many templates (trivia quiz, viral quiz, personality quiz builder, and more), and has stellar customer support.
And unlike third-party platforms such as Typeform, Jotform, or Google Forms, Formidable Forms was built for WordPress.
But enough bragging! Let's get building!

Scored quiz
If you're creating a scored quiz in WordPress, say for a geography exam or an Are You a True Swiftie quiz, you can click the Customize Quiz Scoring button to select the correct answer for each question.
You can then choose if questions should be weighted and whether to deduct points for wrong answers.
You can also randomize questions and answers in just one click.
Be sure to hit Update again to save.
Outcome quiz
If you're creating a product finder or a Which Hogwarts House Are You quiz, you'll want to select the Quiz Outcome action.
This lets you set up multiple different outcomes based on conditional logic.
You can also customize each outcome page by adding images, videos, text, links, or buttons.
Just click Update when you're finished.
Step 4: Add the quiz to a WordPress page or post
