# Quiz & Assessment Settings

> Configure time limits, random question pools, anti-cheating protections, and scoring rules for FormHug quizzes and assessments.

Quiz Settings help you control how your quiz runs, how questions are delivered, and how fairness is maintained.

Use these settings with <a href="https://formhug.ai/quiz-maker" target="_blank">AI quizzes</a>, personality tests, training checks, and <a href="https://formhug.ai/assessment-maker" target="_blank">assessments</a>. If you're deciding whether randomization, timing, or anti-cheating is appropriate, compare common patterns in <a href="https://formhug.ai/blog/mini-exam-questions" target="_blank">mini exam questions</a> and <a href="https://formhug.ai/blog/employee-training-quiz" target="_blank">employee training quizzes</a>.

## Pre-Quiz Notice

Show instructions or rules before the quiz starts.

**What to include:**

* Time limit information
* Number of questions
* Scoring rules
* Important guidelines

## Time Limit

Set a countdown timer for the quiz.

| Setting         | Description                             |
| --------------- | --------------------------------------- |
| **Duration**    | Total time allowed (minutes)            |
| **Warning**     | Alert before time expires               |
| **Auto-submit** | Automatically submit when time runs out |

<Tip>
  Set a reasonable time limit. Too short creates stress; too long reduces urgency.
</Tip>

## Random Questions

Randomly assign questions to each attempt.

| Option              | Description                         |
| ------------------- | ----------------------------------- |
| **Draw by Type**    | Random selection from each category |
| **Draw from All**   | Random selection from all questions |
| **Randomize Order** | Shuffle question order              |

### Example Configuration

From a pool of 50 questions:

* Draw 20 questions randomly
* Randomize the order
* Each submitter gets a different set

## Anti-Cheating

Enable protections to discourage cheating:

| Protection                    | Description                           |
| ----------------------------- | ------------------------------------- |
| **Restrict Screen Switching** | Detect when submitter leaves the page |
| **Disable Copy**              | Prevent copying question text         |
| **Disable Paste**             | Prevent pasting answers               |
| **Fullscreen Mode**           | Require fullscreen during quiz        |

<Note>
  Anti-cheating measures are deterrents, not guarantees. For high-stakes assessments, consider proctoring solutions.
</Note>

## Scoring

Configure how scores are calculated:

| Setting                 | Description                           |
| ----------------------- | ------------------------------------- |
| **Points per Question** | Assign point values                   |
| **Partial Credit**      | Award partial points for multi-select |
| **Negative Scoring**    | Deduct points for wrong answers       |
| **Passing Score**       | Minimum score to pass                 |
