You might have heard about Hentquz —that neat little quiz platform online. In case you haven’t, no worries. This manual will walk you thru what it is, why you’d use it, and the way to make your first quiz with out pulling your hair out. Ready? Let’s go.
What Is Hentquz, Anyway?
So… what’s the deal? In the simplest form, Hentquz is a web‐based tool to build quizzes. But it’s not just any quiz‐maker. It sits someplace between a primary survey app (suppose Google paperwork) and a full-blown gaining knowledge of management device (LMS).
Why that matters:
- You don’t need to be a coder.
- You get more features than “just” multiple choice.
- You can track results quickly.
Basically, it’s for teachers, trainers, team leads—or anyone who wants to ask questions and see instant answers.

Designing a Quiz That Doesn’t Suck
Okay, so you have a blank quiz. What next? Here are some thoughts.
1. Mix Question Types
Bullet-point boredom is real. Switch it up:
- Multiple-choice
- True/false
- Short answer
- Matching pairs
- Fill-in-the-blank
Variety helps people stay awake.
2. Sprinkle in Media
You don’t have to. But if you do:
- A photo for a geography question.
- A 10-second audio for language tests.
- A gif—yes, a gif—to lighten the mood.
Keeps things fresh.
3. Keep Prompts Clear
Don’t overthink words. One idea per question. No run-on sentences. If your question sounds like a paragraph, trim it.
Right: “Which planet is known for its rings?”
Wrong: “There is a certain gas giant in our solar system that is famous primarily because of its system of icy rings. Which planet am I referring to?”
See?
4. Decide on Scoring
- Equal points per question? Fine.
- Weighted questions? Sure.
- Negative marking? If you’re feeling evil.
Just set it up before you launch.
Tips & Tricks from My Own Experiments
I’ve run, like, a dozen Hentquz quizzes. Here’s what I learned:
- Chunk long quizzes into sections. Five questions at a time—break.
- Use randomization, so folks can’t just swap answers.
- Provide instant, tiny feedback. “Good job!” or “Oops, try again.”
- Throw in a timer for some tension. Or don’t, if you’re chill.
- Award a “badge” or a funny title at the end.
- Preview on mobile. Because, duh, everyone’s on their phone.
Little tweaks make big differences in engagement.
Common Headaches & How to Fix Them
Every tool has quirks. Hentquz is no different.
Problem: My images won’t show up.
- Make sure the file is under 5 MB.
- Check that the URL or upload succeeded.
Problem: Timer isn’t working.
- Confirm you enabled it in quiz settings.
- Don’t mix section timers and global timers.
Problem: Too much data to read.
- Export a CSV.
- Use filters in the analytics tab (date, user, score).
Maximum problems are constant with a quick settings test or a refresh. Honest.
FAQs
Q: Can i Password-Protect my quiz?
A: Yup. Under “Share” settings, toggle on “Require password.” Then hand out that password only to folks you trust.
Q: How do I see who took the quiz?

A: Either upgrade or delete old quizzes and responses. Or export data and clear space.

A: It has LTI support for some LMSes, and a basic API for Pro/Enterprise plans.
