Don't forget to participate on Discussion and go over links for additional resources. If you want to take the quiz again, please refresh the page. "

Display the choice users picked for the questions

In the quiz feedback , you will want to add a short paragraph that shows the question of the quiz, and the choices that users picked for the quiz. In order to show the choices that users picked for the quiz, you will have to use what's called the merge tag. What merge tag does is- it will show the value that user has submitted. For example, it has ability to display the choices users picked in the quiz.

When you click on the "notebook icon" located beside the editor, it allows you to add merge tag.

You click on small "notebook icon" located beside the editor, it gives you choice of what's called a merge tag. For example in the case of Exam Prep quiz, when you select the merge tag "Study sessions should be...:", the tag will automatically show the choice user picked for the question "Study sessions should be"

Display the answer/feedback of the quiz

To create the customized answer/feedback, you will have to use what's called Conditional Shortcode.


[gravityforms action="conditional" merge_tag="{Number:Field ID here}" condition="is" value="Multiple choice user picked"] Put the quiz feedback here. [/gravityforms]


  • Field ID: To find the field ID, you can edit the quiz, then beside the quiz question, you will see "Field ID". In the example of the screenshot, the field ID will be 1.
    Field ID is located beside the quiz question
  • value: Value is the choice user picked for the multiple choice of the question. For example for the question - "When studying it's best to..." when user answered "set goals", the value will be set goals. You can double check the value of the multiple choice by editing the quiz, and click on the checkbox "Show values"
  • You can click on the checkbox "Show values" to double check what is the value of the choices. Usually the value is same as the quiz choices. (For example, if the quiz choice is "set goal" , the value will most likely be "set goal" as well)

For example:

[gravityforms action="conditional" merge_tag="{Number:1}" condition="is" value="Analyzing."]
When you start analyzing, you are more than halfway up Bloom’s Taxonomy and quite deeply into the world of critical thinking, though you are not quite at the top yet. Analyzing generally means that you understand a concept well enough to break it down into its components. This means that you can understand its meaning, how it works and why it works that way. This often involves comparing, contrasting, questioning and relating.

However, in order to truly think critically you must work your way up the levels of Bloom’s Taxonomy from analyzing, to evaluating, and hopefully eventually you will take the knowledge you have acquired and use it to create something new.[/gravityforms]

multiple choices with the same feedback

If all of the answers have the same feedback, you can try using show content if a certain field is not empty

Step 4: Making sure with the form setting

  • Enable Anti-spam bot: Go to Setting> Form Setting> . Under Form Options, tick Enable anti-spam honeypot

Step 5: Embed the quiz to a page

  2. Click on Add Form.
  3. From the dropdown menu under Select a form below to add it to your post or page, Select the form that you want to add to the page.
  4. Untick Display Form Title and Display form description . Tick Enable Ajex. When you Tick Enable Ajex, what it does is, the page of the toolkit will not be refreshed even when users submit the quiz.

Tips 1: Getting rid of spacing in the confirmation screen

Sometimes when you add feedback (i.e. conditional code) to the cofnirmation screen, it gives extra spacing. To get rid of spacing, switch to text mode, try:

  • removing the spacing between [/gravityforms] and [/gravityform action]
  • removing spacing after [/gravityform
