# Quizzes {% embed url="" %} ## Overview Breakroom for Training quizzes can consist of one or more questions of mixed type. Questions can be marked as mandatory or optional, and responses can be graded automatically or collected for manual grading, complete with reference answers. This page discusses the creation and management of quizzes on the backend via Dashboard. For more information about administering and reviewing quizzes in the Breakroom for Training environment, please see our [Instructor orientation](https://docs.breakroom.tech/breakroom-for-training/instructor-orientation). ## Creating quizzes

As with many things in Breakroom, the best way to master the task of course creation is to dive right in and play around. ### Multiple choice questions

Pictured: An example of a multiple choice question.

Multiple choice questions offer an impressive level of flexibility. You can specify multiple answers for users to check off, dictate that users must make a certain number of guesses, or even create *single-answer* questions by limiting the minimum and maximum choices required to 1. ### Written response questions

Pictured: An example of a written response question.

Written response questions give users the opportunity to demonstrate deeper knowledge or to share personal insights. These questions must be [graded](#grading-quizzes) manually, but a quiz point value and reference answer can be provided for graders. You can also specify a minimum and maximum number of characters allowed. ### Match items questions

Pictured: An example of a match items question.

Match items questions can be made easier or more complex by the addition of minimum and maximum answer requirements. ### Reference links and images

Pictured: The Insert Link and Attach Files options for a Breakroom for Training question.

All question types can come bundled with website links and image files, providing students with helpful information as they take the quiz. Students can open links and view image files directly within the Breakroom platform. To add a website link to a question, paste the link into the **Insert Link field** and click **Insert**. You can add multiple links. Make sure to click the **Save button** to save your changes. To add a reference image, click the **Upload File button**. This will launch a standard file import window on your computer. Locate the image file you want to share and click on it, then click the **Open button**. You can attach multiple image files to a question. ### Timed questions

You can place a time limit on any question by clicking the **clock icon** located at the top of the question card. Enter the time in hours and minutes, and then click outside of the time panel to set it. To remove time restrictions, click the **clock icon** and then click the **Reset button**. ### Mandatory and optional questions

Any question can be made mandatory by clicking the **Mark Mandatory toggle** located in the bottom right corner of the question card. Questions are marked mandatory by default. Assigning quiz points to non-mandatory questions lets you build "extra credit" into quizzes, while ungraded written response questions provide students opportunities for reflection. ### Removing questions

5. Of all the question types, only [written responses](#written-response-questions) *must* be graded manually.

Making use of these tools, you can enter points into the **Grade Value field**. 6. If you like, you *can* manually adjust the **Grade Value field** for [multiple choice](#multiple-choice-questions) and [match items](#match-items-questions) questions. You can also add written comments in the **Comments field** for any question. Students will not see these comments. 7.
