Answers: you must write text in one answer box. Use the radio button to select the correct answer.

When entering answers, avoid using phrases such as "none of the above" or "all of the above" since the answer choices are randomized. This means that just because you enter an answer in Answer #4 doesn't mean it will be displayed there in the game. Try using "none of the choices" or "all choices" instead.

Number of Test Questions: you can enter a minium of 10 up to a maximum of 20 questions per test. Regardless of the number of questions entered, each game will only display 10 random questions in a random order from your test per game play. This way if a user refreshes a game they will not see the same questions every time.

Banned Characters: certain special characters cannot be displayed since it causes errors in the database. These characters are: " < > & { } [ ] just to name a few.
