Question Options

Acadlix offers a range of Question Options that let you control how questions and their related features appear on the front-end quiz. These settings provide full flexibility to customize the quiz experience for your users.

Show Marks

The Show Marks option in Acadlix lets you display the marks assigned to each question directly on the quiz interface.

How It Works:

  • When enabled, the marks for each question are shown next to the question title or at the bottom of the question, depending on your quiz layout.
  • Users can clearly see how much each question is worth before answering.
  • If disabled, the marks remain hidden, and users only find out their score after quiz submission.

 

Display Subject

The Display Subject option in Acadlix allows you to show the subject or category name above each question during a quiz.

How It Works:

  • When enabled, the subject name (like Mathematics, Science, English) appears at the top of each question, helping users identify which subject the question belongs to.
  • Subjects can be assigned while adding or editing questions.
  • If disabled, questions are shown without subject labels.

Use Cases:

  • Sectional Quizzes: Ideal for competitive exams or mock tests where questions are grouped by subjects — like SSC, JEE, or IBPS tests.
  • Subject-Based Analysis: Helps users track their strengths and weaknesses in real-time by clearly seeing subject divisions during the quiz.
  • Adaptive Testing: Pair with Show Only Specific Number of Questions and Advanced Mode to create subject-wise question sets, allowing for structured and organized quizzes.

This works especially well with Advanced Mode exams where subject-wise time limits or question counts are set.

 

Answer Bullet

The Answer Bullet option in Acadlix lets you choose how answer options are labeled in a quiz — either numerically or alphabetically.

Available Options:

  • Numeric (1, 2, 3, 4): Displays answer choices with numbers. Useful for formal exams or quizzes where numeric labels are standard.
  • Alphabetic (A, B, C, D): Labels answers with letters, which is a common format for multiple-choice questions (MCQs

Use Cases:

  • Competitive Exams: Alphabetic bullets (A, B, C, D) provide a familiar layout for students preparing for national-level tests.
  • Technical or Math-Based Quizzes: Numeric bullets (1, 2, 3, 4) work well when answers involve formulas or number-based choices.
  • Custom Branding: Align the quiz design with institutional standards by selecting the bullet style that matches their exam format.

Admins can easily switch between these options on the Add/Edit Quiz page, ensuring quizzes look and feel just right for the intended audience.

 

Question Overview

The Question Overview feature in Acadlix adds a dynamic Question Overview Panel to the quiz interface, giving students a clear, real-time view of their quiz progress.

How It Works:

  • When enabled, a panel or sidebar appears, displaying a numbered grid representing each question.
  • Different color indicators show the quiz status:
    • Answered: Highlighted to show completed questions.
    • Skipped: Marked for questions the student has passed without answering.
    • Reviewed: Flagged for questions the student wants to revisit before submitting.
  • Clicking on a number takes the student directly to that question, allowing quick navigation.

 

Random Question

The Random Question feature in Acadlix allows you to shuffle the order of quiz questions each time a quiz is attempted.

How It Works:

  • When enabled, questions are presented in a different sequence for every quiz attempt.
  • The randomization applies only to the selected pool of questions, ensuring no two quiz attempts look the same.
  • If combined with Show Only Specific Number of Questions, you can randomly pull a set number of questions from a larger question bank.

Use Cases:

  • Anti-Cheating Measures: Helps prevent answer sharing during live quizzes by making sure every participant sees a different question order.
  • Practice Tests: Encourages deeper learning by forcing students to rely on understanding, not memorizing question positions.
  • Dynamic Assessments: Useful for larger quizzes with question banks, so users get a fresh experience with every attempt.

You can use this alongside Random Options to shuffle not just the questions but also the order of the answer choices!

 

Random Options

The Random Options feature in Acadlix shuffles the order of answer choices for each question every time a quiz is attempted.

How It Works:

  • When enabled, the answers for each question will appear in a random sequence, preventing patterns or answer position biases.
  • Optional: You can choose to not randomize the last option — useful for cases where the last option is something like “None of the above” or “All of the above”, keeping logical consistency intact.

Use Cases:

  • Prevent Guessing Patterns: Stops users from predicting correct answers based on answer positions.
  • Competitive Exams: Mimics real-world test environments where answer choices are randomized.
  • Logical Options: Ensures options like “None of the above” always stay at the end, preserving clarity without sacrificing randomness.

Pair this with Random Questions for fully dynamic quizzes, where both questions and answers appear in a unique order every time!

 

Hide Question Numbering

The Hide Question Numbering feature in Acadlix allows you to remove the question numbers displayed alongside each quiz question.

How It Works:

  • When enabled, question numbers (like Question 1 of 7 …) will be hidden from both the quiz interface.
  • This creates a seamless, distraction-free quiz experience, especially useful for creative tests or adaptive quizzes.

Use Cases:

  • Blind Assessments: Keeps users focused solely on the content of the questions rather than how many they’ve completed.
  • Scenario-Based Tests: Ideal for case studies or interactive quizzes where numbering might break immersion.
  • Psychometric or Skill-Based Tests: Helps minimize test anxiety by removing visual progress markers.

You can use this alongside Random Questions and Question Overview for a fully customized quiz layout!

 

Sort Questions by Subject

The Sort Questions by Subject feature in Acadlix lets you organize quiz questions based on their assigned subjects, offering a structured quiz layout.

How It Works:

  • When enabled, questions are grouped by subject, displaying one subject’s set of questions before moving to the next.
  • Subjects appear in the alphabetical order.
  • This works seamlessly with all modes including Advanced Mode, where you can also assign subject-wise time limits and question counts.

Use Cases:

  • Competitive Exams: Mirrors real-world tests like SSC, IBPS, JEE, where sections (Math, Reasoning, English, etc.) are clearly separated.
  • Skill-Based Quizzes: Helps categorize questions into relevant topics, making quizzes more organized.
  • Feedback and Analysis: Makes post-quiz analysis easier — you can track performance per subject, not just overall scores.

Pair this with Display Subject to visually label each section for students during the quiz!

 

Attempt & Move Forward Automatically

The Attempt & Move Forward Automatically feature in Acadlix streamlines quiz navigation by automatically moving the user to the next question once they select an answer.

How It Works:

  • When enabled, users don’t need to click a “Next” button — selecting an option immediately takes them to the next question.
  • Works best for single-choice question types where only one answer can be selected.
  • For multiple-choice or other complex question types, this option is disabled to ensure users confirm their answers first.

Use Cases:

  • Speed Tests: Great for rapid-fire quizzes or time-bound exams, keeping the flow quick and uninterrupted.
  • Competitive Exams: Simulates real-world tests where automatic progression helps mirror the exam pattern.
  • Seamless User Experience: Reduces unnecessary clicks and keeps the quiz intuitive and fast-paced.

You can pair this with Quiz Time Type (Per Question) for a strict time-per-question format, further boosting the quiz’s speed and intensity!

 

Force User to Answer Each Question

The Force User to Answer Each Question feature in Acadlix ensures that users cannot submit or finish a quiz until all questions have been answered.

How It Works:

  • Users can freely navigate between questions — moving forward, backward, or reviewing previous answers — but the Finish Quiz button will remain disabled until every question has been answered.
  • For timed quizzes, if the quiz timer runs out, the quiz will automatically submit, even if some questions are left unanswered.
  • This setting works for all question types and quiz modes, giving admins full flexibility.

Use Cases:

  • Strict Assessments: Perfect for tests where answering all questions is mandatory before submission.
  • Adaptive Learning: Ensures users review and attempt each question without rushing through the quiz.
  • Timed Exams: Mimics real-world competitive exams — users must balance time management and completion requirements.

You can combine this with Question Overview so users can easily spot unanswered questions and complete them before submission.
