What Is a True or False Quiz?<\/h2>\n
A true or false quiz is a type of quiz where a user has to agree or disagree on some fact or statement. So, a person needs to choose only between two options: \u201cTrue\u201d or \u201cFalse.\u201d<\/p>\n
Examples of a True or False Quiz<\/h3>\n
You can leverage True\/False questions for completely different quiz topics. Here are just a few examples:<\/p>\n
- \n
- In a history quiz, you can use\u00a0true\/false questions to test if your students have a sufficient knowledge of historical events.

- You have more options on the right. Decide whether your users will get a feedback message or not. Then specify how many attempts your users will be given and how much time they will have to answer a question.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
![\"Slide](\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/editor\/2020\/02\/ispring-blog-image-1580718046.png\" "\\"Slide")
<\/div>\nNote:<\/strong> With true\/false questions, it\u2019s a good idea to only give your students a few seconds to answer so that they don\u2019t have time to search the web for the correct response.<\/p>\n
- \n
- Move to setting up feedback. You can change your feedback message and provide a detailed explanation of why the selected answer choice is correct or incorrect.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
![\"Feedback](\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/editor\/2020\/02\/ispring-blog-image-1580718141.png\" "\\"Feedback")
<\/div>\nYou can also change the branching here. Send your user to another slide, to the beginning, or even have them finish the quiz if they make a mistake.<\/p>\n
![\"Branching](\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/editor\/2020\/02\/ispring-blog-image-1580718181.png\" "\\"Branching\\"")
<\/div>\nAnd of course, you can adjust your scoring. For example, set it up to assign 10 points for the correct answer and subtract 5 points for the wrong answer.<\/p>\n

![\"Setting](\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/editor\/2020\/02\/ispring-blog-image-1580718321.png\" "\\"Setting")
<\/div>\n- \n
- Now that you have your true\/false question and the slide design set up, make sure it is working properly by choosing Preview<\/strong>. You\u2019ll see how the slide will appear to learners if they play it on a tablet, smartphone, or computer.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
![\"Preview](\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/editor\/2020\/02\/ispring-blog-image-1580718356.png\" "\\"Preview\\"")
<\/div>\n- \n
- If everything works well, you\u2019re ready to publish your quiz<\/a>. You have several destination tabs in the window: My computer, LMS, iSpring LMS<\/a>, and iSpring Cloud. You can also save the quiz as a printable Word document. Choose the option that suits you best.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

Tips on How to Make the \u201cRight\u201d True or False Quiz<\/h2>\n
1. When creating a quiz, keep in mind that your true\/false question must be fact-based, rather than opinion-oriented.<\/strong><\/p>\n
Let\u2019s compare two questions:<\/p>\n
- \n
- George Washington is the only president to have a state named after him.<\/em><\/li>\n
- The best way to make a customer stay loyal to your brand is to sell a good product or provide the best services on the market.<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Do you think a true\/false question will be effective in both situations?<\/p>\n
Hint:<\/strong> The first statement is good as a test-taker must know whether it is entirely true or absolutely wrong. The second statement isn\u2019t the best fit for the true or false question format as it is more like somebody\u2019s opinion, not a fact.<\/p>\n
2. Avoid qualifiers that give hints about the answer.<\/strong><\/p>\n
\u201cSometimes\u201d, \u201cmany\u201d, \u201calways\u201d, \u201cnever\u201d, and \u201devery\u201d are examples of qualifiers that may allow a test-taker to guess the right answer. To be more exact, \u201csometimes\u201d, \u201coften\u201d, \u201cmany\u201d, \u201cfew\u201d, \u201cgenerally\u201d, and \u201cusually\u201d are more likely to reflect a true sentence, whereas \u201call,\u201d \u201cnever,\u201d and \u201calways\u201d give hints about the answer that is typically false.<\/p>\n
3. Don\u2019t use negative sentences.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n
Adding the word \u201cnot\u201d to a true sentence, and especially using double negatives, is not the best way to make a true\/false question. Such statements can easily confuse learners who know the subject matter.<\/p>\n
Let\u2019s look at the example:<\/p>\n
- \n
- Wolves are not farm animals.<\/em><\/li>\n
- Wolves are wild animals.<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Both sentences have the same meaning, but the second one is in the positive form and therefore doesn\u2019t create any confusion about which option to choose for those who know the answer. So, if you have negative sentences, try to turn them into positives.<\/p>\n
4. Avoid complicated sentences.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n
Make your statements clear and concise. There\u2019s no reason to use an abundance of words to make a sentence more challenging.<\/p>\n
Just compare:<\/p>\n
- \n
- A learning management system is a software application for delivering educational courses, training programs, or learning and development programs and assessing employees or students online.<\/em><\/li>\n
- A learning management system is a software program for teaching and assessing employees or students online.<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
It\u2019s obvious that the second question is the least confusing.<\/p>\n
\nAlthough test-takers have a 50\/50 chance of guessing the right answer, a well-worded true or false question can be an effective assessment tool. However, for better results, mix them up with multiple-choice, matching<\/a>, and other kinds of questions.<\/p>\n
