What It Does

This is a unique chained or conditional logic quiz plugin that lets you create quizzes where the next question depends on the answer to the previous question.

To publish a quiz, place its shortcode in a post or page.

This free quiz plugin is fully functional, with no limitation to the number of quizzes, questions, or results you can have.

Questions support single-choice, multiple-choice, and open-end (essay) formats. The quiz will generate a group of radio buttons, checkboxes, or a text area for responses.

You can assign points to each answer, which will be summarized at the end to calculate the final result. Depending on how many points the user has collected, you can assign a result and display different content at the end of the quiz.

The plugin allows you to define actions based on specific answers, guiding the user through the questions in a customized manner. It is a powerful tool for creating exams or quizzes, and can also be used to funnel a sales process based on user selection.

The plugin is integrated with several mailing list management services, enabling you to tie quiz completion to subscribing users to a mailing list.

Once activated, go to Chained Quiz -> Quizzes in your WP dashboard to create your first quiz. After entering the quiz title and settings, you will create quiz results based on user responses.

FAQ

The final screen is loaded by Ajax so some contact and other forms which use complex JavaScript will not work. You may need to search for a different form plugin which does work when the page is loaded by Ajax. If you can’t change the plugin that you use, then provide a link at the end of the quiz to a regular post or page where the form is published.
