Disable multiple response settings<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you face the issue of multiple responses by an individual, then you can limit the response. Go to <strong>&#8216;Settings&#8217;<\/strong> > <strong>Responses<\/strong> > <strong>Enable Limit to 1 response.<\/strong> You can limit the responses through the Restrict Attempts option in the ExtendedForms add-on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"2-shuffle-each-question-to-make-it-different-sets-for-students\">2. Shuffle each question to make it different sets for students<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>To make it a bit challenging for students and so that there is less probability of cheating you can shuffle questions order. To do so, go to Settings > Presentation > Shuffle question order. If you want to shuffle the answer order then you have to click on the symbol &#8216;\u1367&#8217; in question fields > shuffle answer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"3-enable-response-validation\">3. Enable response validation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you face an issue where students add mindless responses then, you can enable this field. Create a question, then go to the &#8216;\u1367&#8217; icon in the question field and choose response validation. Then, specify the validation for eg &#8211; text &amp; email, also you can add custom error text that will be shown to students if they make such sort of an error.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"4-add-timer-or-any-add-on\">4. Add timer (or any) add-on <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This is the biggest issue faced by teachers, but not anymore. You can add a timer third-party app\/add-on or any other app for Google Forms. Just hover over &#8216;\u1367&#8217; on the top bar, go to &#8216;Add-ons&#8217;, and select Google form timer like &#8211; ExtendedForms. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"wrap-up\">Wrap Up<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We are at the end of our article. I hope this blog has helped you understand how to conduct online tests with Google Forms. These steps can make a great Google Forms test or quiz for students. Besides, with the help of the ExtendedForms timer add-on, the limitation of the no-timer has been removed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The<strong>\u00a0ExtendedForms<\/strong>\u00a0add-on for Google Forms is a great alternative and does not come with any complexity of configuring it. It is a productive way to turn your unscheduled forms or quizzes into a scheduled, countdown timer test, quiz, or assessment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-container-6a302c158189b wp-block-buttons\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link\" href=\"https:\/\/workspace.google.com\/marketplace\/app\/extended_forms_timer_for_google_forms\/763170157069\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Install ExtendedForms<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-button is-style-outline\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link\" href=\"https:\/\/extendedforms.io\/s\/test\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Try Test Demo<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In this blog post, we have discussed how to conduct online tests with Google Forms<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":394,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"default","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":""},"categories":[3,67],"tags":[59,49,60],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/extendedforms.io\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/132"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/extendedforms.io\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/extendedforms.io\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/extendedforms.io\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/extendedforms.io\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=132"}],"version-history":[{"count":136,"href":"https:\/\/extendedforms.io\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/132\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4912,"href":"https:\/\/extendedforms.io\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/132\/revisions\/4912"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/extendedforms.io\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/394"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/extendedforms.io\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=132"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/extendedforms.io\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=132"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/extendedforms.io\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=132"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
