Show your respondents the correct answer

Want to give your respondents instant feedback when they answer a quiz question? You can do this with Logic.

If you haven’t created a quiz before, start with our guide to creating a quiz. Then follow the steps below to show respondents whether each answer is correct or incorrect as they move through the quiz.

Want to use Knowledge quiz mode instead? If you're on a paid plan, Create a Knowledge quiz with Typeform explains how to set correct answers, assign scores, and show feedback automatically after each question.

Note: Logic isn't available on our mobile builder just yet. Edit your typeform on a desktop to get the full power of logic!

How to display the correct answer to a question

To set this up, add branching Logic to each quiz question and use Statement questions to show the appropriate feedback.

1. Add two Statement questions immediately after the quiz question: one for correct answers and one for incorrect answers. For example, you could use “Correct!” and “That’s not quite right.”

The form builder panel displaying a Multiple Choice question block followed immediately by two Statement blocks for correct and incorrect feedback.

2. Open the Workflow panel and select Logic.

3. In the left-hand menu, select the quiz question you want to configure. Set the Logic rules for the answer choices:

  • Send all incorrect answer choices to the incorrect-answer Statement.
  • Send the correct answer choice to the correct-answer Statement.

4. Now, select each Statement question and add a rule that sends respondents to the next question in the quiz.

Repeat these steps for each quiz question where you want to show feedback.

You can also add or edit Logic from the Content panel. Select the + next to Logic, or select the Logic branching icon beside an answer choice in a question with selectable answers such as Multiple Choice. Learn more about where to access branching Logic.

Tip! If you use this Logic method, you can’t see directly in Results whether an answer was correct or incorrect. To track this information, use variables  to assign 1 point for each correct answer and 0 points for each incorrect answer. You can then filter the exported results by score.
