This plugin is packed with features that not only make creating beautiful-looking quizzes incredibly easy, but also comes standard with features that encourage users to share their results, which eventually leads to more shares, impressions, and visitors to your site.

Wp-Pro-Quiz

Wp Pro Quiz WordPress Plugin

Here comes our next solution that had been number one choice of thousands of users (not many because very few webmasters are using such things in their webpages). It offers lots of quizzes related features like single choice, multiple choice, sorting, free choice, Cloze function, matrix sorting function, time limit, random answer and proper assessment. All these features are bundled among the simple to use package that is really cool.

If you wish to offer and receive email notifications, then it is possible, and the plugin also keeps the record of every statistic. You can even offer hints to users and put questions in different categories. So it really got a long list of features. Try it out.

WordPress Simple Survey

WordPress Simple Survey WordPress Plugins

This is our responsive solution if it was the first requirement, so you can think of it working on almost any possible mobile screen size out there in the market. It doesn’t load the quizzes or any other related section (you’ve implemented on the website) separately; rather everything is loaded quickly and once. It does affect the user experience.

And in this day and age, we know user experience is everything. The look of this plugin alone allowed a popular niche website to get insanely powerful backlinks from some of the biggest news blogs in the world, and boost one of their informational page’s SERP rankings from #5 to #2.

You can quickly start with surveys, polls and off course quizzes. Users can easily enter the answer and can track results. On the Dashboard area, you can track results and every other statistic available within. Another best feature is that results and related data can be exported and emailed in CSV file format.

mTouch Quiz

mTouch Quiz WordPress Plugin

Another package that can help you covers quizzes right on your website. You can start with a single one or even start a whole bunch of exam for readers to participate. Different icons are supported while overall design and feel are pretty simple. As a webmaster, you can either offer readers multiple choice options or single ones.

Questions can be ordered according to a pattern or in a random fashion. You can even limit the number of times a reader is allowed to answer a question. It had been downloaded thousands of times and mostly rated five stars.

SlickQuiz

SlickQuiz WordPress Plugin

It covers all basic features along with bringing social sharing options, saving user scores and no limit whatsoever. Its control panel at the back is really easy to handle and cool in design. You can even restrict readers to submit questions without inputting any answer and many other similar functionalities. In short, it can offer great user experience and will also minimize work you’ve to do in running and managing question-answer seminars over your WordPress driven blog or website.

SS Quiz

SS Quiz WordPress Plugin

This is the only plugin that is ready with localization so you can expect it to get automatically translated as per language of user’s location. Other than this unique feature, all question-answer related features are being couched within and using them is really easy. Multimedia files are also allowed to be inserted.

WordPress Quiz

WordPress Quiz

This plugin comes standard with tons of features that many of the free alternatives cannot lay claim to. Social sharing, export to CSV, submit score via email to owner, and interface customization are some of the features that typically compel users to pay for. As you can see, this is no free plugin, but a tool that blog owners can leverage to truly step their quiz game up.

Over to You

So, the final call is yours, and I hope the collection I got here was helpful and also saved some time. I’d like to ask you for a little favor in return (only if you’ve some more free time). I’ve covered a lot of useful guides and tutorials over our blog. Just check out our blog page and I bet you’ll find a lot of interesting and helpful things. Sayonara.

    Thanks for the post! Two questions:

    1. Do any of the quizzes you mention include a lead-capture section? i.e. take a quiz, enter your contact information for results

    2. Do any of the quizzes act like buzzfeed style “what walking dead character are you most similar to?”

      Great question, as long as your website is responsive then the quiz on the page should adapt to the screen size.

    I need your kind help in this problem: SS quiz is not working – generating neither quiz nor questions.
    MOST IMPORTANT: all the quizzes are added on server side (by ADMIN), can they be added from client side (by other users-teachers)???

      Thanks for noticing and including QuizMaster which is also actively supported and updated, whereas WP Pro Quiz (which QuizMaster is based on) is not at the moment (or in the past nearly 2-years).

    Hi, thank you for this awesome list! I’ve already checked 2 free, but the viral one seems promising. If you could, what plugin would best fit in the http://www.academia.club ( in English: http://www.iqacademy.club )? I’d need a plugin that can count a range of points (say, 1 to 6) for each question, then processed at the answer. Any ideas? Thanks!

    I can’t find a plugin that allows the site-owner to create a quiz, drop a shortcode for that quiz on a content page, saves the results AND doesn’t embed the answers somehow on the quiz page. Quiz and Survey Master is great, as is some of these others, but the ones that don’t need massive customization all put the answers in JSON in the source! To easy for cheaters!

    Newly released in early 2017 is QuizMaster, a rebuild of WP Pro Quiz. Unlike WP Pro Quiz which hasn’t been updated in well over a year and has no active support, QuizMaster is being actively developed and is more developer-friendly with fully customizable templates and range of hooks (actions and filters). It’s an extension-based system similar to WooCommerce, with about 5 free extensions already available for feature support such as Grading.
