Overview

A Multiple choice question lets learners pick a single answer from a list of options. It's a fast way to assess a lot of learners at once and, unlike essay or short-answer questions, it removes the subjectivity from marking — so scoring stays fair and consistent. Multiple choice is the default question type when you add a new question, and it's one of the types you can pick when building a Form or quiz, alongside Checkboxes, Open text answer, File upload, Rating, Date and Time.

Add a Multiple choice question

1. Open the Form you want to edit — you'll land in the question builder in edit mode.
2. Click Add question at the bottom of the builder. New questions start as a Multiple choice question, so there's nothing more to select. (If the question is set to another type, open the question type dropdown to the right of the question title and choose Multiple choice.)

3. Type your question in the question field. Use the Show Toolbar checkbox if you want the rich-text editor tools.
4. Enter your answer options. Click Add Option to add more, drag an option by its handle to reorder it, and use the ✕ to remove one.
5. (Optional) For a graded Form, tick the box under the Answer column beside the option that is the correct answer.
6. Use the Required toggle if learners must answer this question. Your changes save automatically as you work.

Add a Multiple choice question from a template

If you want a ready-made Yes or No or True or False question, add it from a template instead of building it by hand.

1. In the question builder, click Add question from template.

2. In the Select a question template dropdown, choose the template you want — for example Multiple choice - True or False or Multiple choice - Yes or No — then click Add question.

3. Edit the question text as needed. Use the Show Toolbar checkbox to make use of the rich-text editor toolbar.

Good to know: A Multiple choice question accepts a single answer. If learners need to select more than one option, use a Checkboxes question instead.

Things to keep in mind

• Multiple choice questions accept only one selected answer. For "select all that apply" style questions, use a Checkboxes question.
• Marking a correct answer is optional and only matters for a graded Form. If you don't tick a correct option, the question still records the learner's choice but isn't scored.
• Changes to a Form save automatically as you work — there's no separate save button.

FAQs

What's the difference between a Multiple choice question and a Checkbox question?
A Multiple choice question lets learners select only one answer; a Checkbox question lets them select more than one.

How do I add more answer options?
Click Add Option beneath the existing options. You can reorder options by dragging their handle and remove one with the ✕.

Can a Multiple choice question be graded?
Yes. Tick the correct option under the Answer column and set a pass score on the Form. See How to Build a Quiz and Set the Correct Answers for the full grading setup.
