## Overview
Forms let you survey your team; quizzes let you test their knowledge. The difference is simply whether you mark correct answers and set a pass score. This article covers building a form from scratch, adding questions, and marking the correct answers on multiple-choice and checkbox questions so SuperPath can grade responses automatically.

## How to create a form or quiz
1. In the left-hand menu, go to **Forms & Quizzes**.
2. Click **Create Blank Form** to start from an empty form. (You can also click **Auto Generate Form** to have SuperPath draft a quiz for you — see the AI Forms article.)
3. SuperPath opens the new form in the builder, ready for you to add a title and questions. Changes save automatically as you go.

> **Good to know:** A "form" and a "quiz" are the same thing in SuperPath — a form becomes a quiz once you mark correct answers and set a pass percentage (covered below).

## How to add questions
1. In the form builder, click **Add question** to add a blank question. New questions default to a **Multiple choice** question.
2. Alternatively, click **Add question from template** and choose a ready-made question from the **Select a question template** list — for example **Multiple choice - True or False**, **Multiple choice - Yes or No**, or one of the rating templates.
3. Type your question into the question title, and add your answer options.
4. Use the question type selector on the right of a focused question to change the type. The available question types are: **Multiple choice**, **Checkboxes**, **Open text answer**, **File upload**, **Rating**, **Date** and **Time**.
5. Use the toggles at the bottom of a question to mark it **Required**, and use the copy or delete icons to duplicate or remove a question.

> **Note:** Only **Multiple choice** and **Checkboxes** questions can be graded automatically. Open text, file upload, rating, date and time questions are recorded as responses but are not auto-marked as correct or incorrect.

## How to set the correct answers
On a **Multiple choice** or **Checkboxes** question, each answer option has a small tick box under the **Answer** column heading on the right.

1. Click into the question so it is focused (editable).
2. For each answer option, tick the box under **Answer** to mark that option as correct.
3. On a **Multiple choice** question, mark the single correct option. On a **Checkboxes** question you can mark more than one option correct — the learner must select exactly the correct set (no more, no less) to get the question right.
4. There is no separate save button — the correct answer is stored as soon as you tick it.

> **Tip:** For a question to be graded, it must be marked **Required** and have at least one correct answer ticked. Questions without a ticked correct answer are treated as ungraded and always count as "correct" when scoring.

After a learner submits, correct answers show a green tick and incorrect answers show a red cross, with the message *"The correct answer is …"* revealed for questions they got wrong (unless retries are switched on).

## How to turn your form into a graded quiz
Marking correct answers tells SuperPath how to grade each question, but the form only becomes a scored quiz once you set a pass percentage:

1. In the form builder, click the **Settings** cog next to the form title to open the **Form settings** panel.
2. Turn on the **Pass percentage (%)** toggle (*"Learners must achieve this score to pass"*).
3. Enter the percentage a learner needs to pass, between 0 and 100.
4. Optionally turn on **Allow Retries** and set the **No. allowed attempts** so learners can retake the quiz.

## Things to keep in mind
* A form is only graded when its **Pass percentage** is greater than 0. With no pass percentage set, responses are still collected but no score is calculated.
* Only **Required** multiple-choice and checkbox questions that have a correct answer ticked count towards the score.
* Changes to a form save automatically — there is no separate "publish" step inside the builder. Assign the form (or add it to a Pathway) when you are ready for learners to take it.
* Correct-answer feedback shown to learners after submitting is hidden while **Allow Retries** is on, so learners aren't shown the answers between attempts.

## FAQs
**What's the difference between a form and a quiz?**
Nothing structural — they use the same builder. A form becomes a quiz when you mark correct answers on its questions and set a **Pass percentage** so responses can be scored.

**Can a checkbox question have more than one correct answer?**
Yes. On a **Checkboxes** question you can tick several options as correct. The learner must select exactly those options — selecting too few or including a wrong option marks the question incorrect.

**Where do I mark the correct answer?**
On a focused multiple-choice or checkbox question, tick the small box under the **Answer** column beside the option you want to mark correct.

**Do open-text or file-upload questions get graded?**
No. Those question types are recorded as responses but are not auto-marked. You can add a **model answer** to an open-text question to show the expected response after submission, but it does not affect the score.

## Who can do this
**Owners**, **Admins**, **Managers**, **Content Managers** and **Instructors** can create forms and quizzes, add questions and mark correct answers (they hold create/manage permission on Forms and Questions). **People Managers**, **Employees** and **Restricted** users have read-only access to Forms and cannot build or edit them — the **Forms & Quizzes** area and the **Create Blank Form** button do not appear for them.
