Design an Online Quiz Using Google Docs - Other important points

After the examination, all data will be stored in Google Docs. To analyze the data and assess scores, it is best to export to MS Excel.

Analysis of answer sheets and evaluating scores largely depend on your judgment. A detailed discussion of this topic is out of the scope of this article.

What Google Docs cannot do for your quiz

There are at least two things that you cannot do with a quiz based on Google Docs that you might find desirable. You'll have to take these points into consideration when you plan your quiz. If they are deal-breakers, you may have to use something other than Google Docs for your online quizzes.

First, you cannot randomize questions so that you give varied questions to different examinees. This is because the questions are set in the Google Docs Form, and currently there is no feature that can randomize questions.

Second, Google Docs does not offer certain advanced features. For example, if you decide to show scores or evaluation results right away, Google Docs is not capable of doing that. If you wish to offer this ability, you should hire a developer to create your quiz using the PHP programming language.

However, if you do decide to provide scores later (which most teachers do), Google Docs is the easier solution, and hiring developers is not necessary.
