How to add a leaderboard to a quiz
Open your quiz settings and turn on the leaderboard. Quizzory then ranks everyone by score first, and if two people get the same score, the one who finished faster ranks higher. The list is not live, so people see the latest ranks each time they refresh the page.
Add a leaderboard in 5 steps
From building the quiz to sharing the rank list.
- 1
Build your quiz in the Quiz Builder
Sign in to your free SurveyHeart account, open the Quiz Builder, and add your questions. Lean on Multiple Choice and Short Answer, since SurveyHeart scores those on its own and the rank fills in at once. Long Answer questions need you to award marks by hand first, so the rank for those attempts only settles after you mark them.

Turn on the leaderboard in quiz settings
Open the quiz settings and switch the leaderboard option on. This tells SurveyHeart to keep one ranked list of everyone who attempts the quiz. Turn it on before you share, so ranks build from the very first attempt and no attempt gets left out.

Turn on Timed Tests so speed breaks ties
In settings, turn on Timed Tests and pick a duration, like 20 minutes. When two people score the same marks, the one who finished faster ranks higher, so the timer makes ties fair. It also auto-submits when the clock hits zero, so nobody can sit on the page to game the order.

Share the one-tap WhatsApp link
Tap share to get one link, then send it on WhatsApp or any class group with a single tap. People open it in any phone browser, no app and no login needed just to attempt. Every attempt then flows into the same leaderboard for that quiz.

Finish any Long Answer marking
Multiple Choice and Short Answer score on their own, but Long Answers wait for you. Open the quiz, tap Responses, and type the marks in each Long Answer box, like 3 out of 5. That person's total updates the moment you save. Until you mark it, that attempt has no final total, so it cannot take a final rank.

Refresh to see the latest ranks
Open the leaderboard and pull a refresh to load the newest order. It is not live, so the ranks only move when the page reloads. Refresh again after more people attempt or after you finish marking Long Answers to see the order update.
The same test, on every student phone
A timer that submits on its own, one question at a time with clear right and wrong marks, an instant score and a rank list.
A timer that submits on its own, with one clear question at a time.
A percent ring with a correct, wrong and skipped split, the moment a student submits.
After they finish, students see the right answers, so the test doubles as revision.
Get the most out of your leaderboard
Always pair it with Timed Tests
Speed is the tie-breaker, so without a timer two people on the same score sit in a near-random order. Turn on Timed Tests and the ranks feel earned.
Lean on Multiple Choice and Short Answer
These score instantly against your key, so the full ranked list appears without you marking a thing. Best choice for a live class race.
Mark Long Answers fast
An attempt with an unmarked Long Answer holds no final rank, so clear that marking in Responses quickly to let the order settle.
Tell people to refresh
The list is not live, so a rank does not pop up on its own. Tell attempters to reload the page to see where they landed once others finish.
Send one link to one batch
Every leaderboard belongs to its own quiz. Send the same single link to one class so all their ranks sit on one shared list, not split across copies.
Use the score report too
The report lists every score and exports to PDF, Excel, or CSV. Handy to cross-check the ranks or save a record of the batch.
Run your next quiz with a ranked score list
Build a quiz, turn on the leaderboard, and share it in one tap.
Questions people ask
How does the leaderboard decide the ranks?add
It ranks by total score first, high to low. If two people get the same score, the one who finished faster ranks higher, so speed is the tie-breaker. That is why pairing the leaderboard with Timed Tests makes the order feel fair.
Is the Quizzory leaderboard live or real-time?add
No. It is not live. The order updates when you refresh the page, so reload it to see the latest ranks after new attempts come in or after you finish marking Long Answers.
Do people need an app or a login to appear on the leaderboard?add
No. They open the link in any phone browser and attempt with no app and no login. Their attempt then shows up in the same ranked list. Only you, the creator, need a free SurveyHeart account to build the quiz and turn the leaderboard on.
Why has someone not got a rank yet?add
If the quiz has a Long Answer question, that part waits for you to award marks by hand in Responses. Until you mark it, that attempt has no final total, so it cannot take a final rank. Refresh the leaderboard once you finish marking.
Does a wrong answer pull a score below zero?add
No. A wrong answer simply scores zero. SurveyHeart has no negative marking, so nobody can drop below zero on the rank list.
