How do you evaluate quiz responses in Quizzory?
Quizzory scores MCQ and short answer questions automatically the moment a student submits. Long answer questions need you to read and award marks by hand. After that, every score sits in one report you can open, check, and share.
Steps to evaluate quiz responses
From auto scoring to the final report, in order.
- 1
Set the answer key and marks while you build
In the Quiz Builder, for each Multiple Choice question tap the circle next to the right option to mark it correct, like New Delhi for the capital of India. For Short Answer, type the exact word or number you will accept, like 1950. Then fill the marks field for every question, say 1 for an easy one and 2 for a hard one. SurveyHeart scores Multiple Choice and Short Answer against this key, so a clean key now means almost no work later.

Let auto scoring run the moment people submit
When someone taps Submit, SurveyHeart checks every Multiple Choice and Short Answer against your key right away. A correct answer earns its marks, a wrong one scores zero and never goes below, there is no negative marking. The student sees a percent score ring and a full answer sheet with the right answers straight after submitting, so the test doubles as revision.

Open Responses and find the Long Answers
Open your quiz and tap Responses to see every submission. The Multiple Choice and Short Answer parts are already scored. Long Answer questions are not auto scored, so they sit waiting with a marks box still empty. These are the only ones you need to touch by hand.

Read each Long Answer and type the marks
Go person by person, read what they wrote, and type the marks in the box for that Long Answer, like 3 out of 5 for a partly right answer. A handy trick: mark the same question for everyone before you move to the next question, so your judging stays even across the whole batch. As soon as you save a mark, that person's total and percent update on their report.
- 5
Refresh the leaderboard to see the final rank
The leaderboard ranks by total score first, then by who finished faster for a tie. It is not live, it only changes when the page reloads. So after you finish marking Long Answers, refresh the leaderboard once to pull the final order. Any attempt that still has an unmarked Long Answer will not show a final rank until you mark it.

Open the report, check totals, and share or retest
The report puts every person's score in one table and exports to PDF, Excel, or CSV. Scan a column to spot a question most people got wrong, that is a weak topic to revisit. To run a retest, just send the same WhatsApp link again, no need to rebuild the quiz.
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.
Tips for cleaner evaluation
Keep Short Answers to one word
A Short Answer scores only if it matches your typed key, so ask for one word or number like 1950, not a full sentence that can be phrased ten ways.
Save Long Answers for what matters
Every Long Answer needs you to mark it by hand, so use them only where you truly want to read reasoning. For a 40 person batch, one Long Answer means 40 reads, so keep the count low.
Mark one question across everyone
Mark the same Long Answer for the whole batch before moving to the next one. Judging the same question back to back keeps your marks even and fair.
Set the marks field before you share
Fill the marks field on every question up front, like 1 mark each for ten MCQ plus 5 for one Long Answer to total 15. Then the auto score and your hand marks add up to a clean total.
Turn on Timed Tests for fair attempts
Turn on Timed Tests in settings so the quiz auto submits when the clock hits zero. Everyone gets the same minutes, and speed is what breaks a tie on the leaderboard.
Refresh before you trust the ranks
The leaderboard is not live, it only changes on reload. So finish all your Long Answer marking first, then refresh once, and the order you see is the real final one.
Build a quiz and score it the easy way
Auto score MCQ and short answers, mark long answers your way, share the report.
Questions people ask
Which question types does Quizzory score automatically?add
Multiple Choice and Short Answer. SurveyHeart checks each one against the answer key you set in the Quiz Builder, so the score shows the moment a student taps Submit. Short Answer must match the exact word or number you typed as the key, so keep those answers to one clear word or number.
How do I evaluate long answer questions?add
By hand. Open your quiz, tap Responses, and you will see each Long Answer with an empty marks box. Read what the person wrote and type the marks, like 3 out of 5. There is no auto scoring for Long Answers, so this step stays fully in your control.
What does a student see right after submitting?add
A percent score ring and a full answer sheet that shows their answer next to the correct one. The auto scored Multiple Choice and Short Answer parts appear at once. Any Long Answer marks show after you finish marking them by hand.
Is there negative marking for wrong answers?add
No. A wrong answer scores zero and never drops below zero. SurveyHeart has no negative marking, so a guess can never pull a total down.
Does the leaderboard update on its own?add
No. It is not live. It updates when you refresh the page. It ranks by score first, then by who finished faster for a tie, so reload it after you finish marking Long Answers to see the final order.
