The General Knowledge Quiz Template by WPForms is a graded assessment designed to test and engage participants across a diverse range of topics including geography, history, science, language, and basic mathematics.
Exploring the General Knowledge Quiz Template Features
This ready-to-use Graded Quiz template challenges participants with 10 carefully selected multiple-choice questions, making it perfect for educators, trivia enthusiasts, content creators, publishers, entertainment websites, and community organizations. Here’s what you’ll find inside it:
Name and Email Collection Fields
The template begins with standard Name and Email fields to collect participant information before the assessment begins. This data enables you to build your contact list with engaged, education-minded individuals and personalize follow-up communications with quiz results and score comparisons.
10 Multiple-Choice Questions Across Diverse Topics
The core of this template consists of 10 multiple-choice questions that span a broad range of general knowledge categories, from geography and history to science, language, and basic math.
Each question includes multiple answer choices, with one correct answer designated in the quiz settings. The Graded Quiz functionality automatically tracks correct and incorrect responses to calculate the final score.
Comprehensive Grading Scale (A through F)
This template uses a five-level grading scale that evaluates performance across the full spectrum:
- A Grade (90-100%): Exceptional general knowledge—9-10 correct answers
- B Grade (80-89%): Strong performance—8 correct answers
- C Grade (70-79%): Solid understanding—7 correct answers
- D Grade (60-69%): Below average—6 correct answers
- F Grade (0-59%): Needs improvement—0-5 correct answers
This grading scale is fully customizable in the WPForms Quiz settings, allowing you to adjust grade letters, percentage ranges, and the number of grade levels to match your preferences or institutional standards.
Correct and Incorrect Answer Feedback
As a Graded Quiz, this template can be configured to provide immediate feedback after each question:
Feedback Options:
- Do not show the correct answer (default): Participants see their final grade at the end without question-by-question feedback during the quiz
- Show the correct answer as soon as a choice is made: Participants receive instant feedback after each question, seeing whether they were right or wrong and what the correct answer was
Customizable Feedback Messages:
- Correct Answer Message: Default is “Correct! Great job.” (fully customizable to match your tone and brand)
- Incorrect Answer Message: Default is “Incorrect. The right answer is {quiz_correct_answer}” (the smart tag automatically inserts the correct answer)
These feedback options let you decide whether to create a learning experience with immediate correction or a traditional test format where results are revealed only at the end.
Grade-Based Conditional Outcomes
The template includes conditional outcomes that display different content based on which letter grade the participant earns. Using WPForms’ conditional logic, you can create five distinct outcome messages.
Each outcome can include rich text formatting, images, videos, links to educational resources, social sharing buttons, and calls-to-action like “Challenge a friend!” or “Explore our learning library.”

Every quiz submission includes a Quiz Summary Link that provides a comprehensive review of:
- All 10 questions presented
- The answer selected for each question
- Whether each answer was correct or incorrect
