Look at the top of the forum page. Just below the cherry coloured ribbon- which is the user bar, you will see thinner chocolate coloured bar- the navigation bar.  On left hand side end is “Home” button and on the Rt hand side end is the “quiz “ button, as highlighted in blue in the screen shot below .

 Click on that . 

Step 3 

A new blank form for “New Quiz” opens before you .Please fill in the blanks as pointed  by the tick marks shown in screen shot below 

For your guidance .. I have given a name/title  to a quiz, for Demo purposes only, I have used IndiaForums. Add suitable subtitle. Write out an attractive description in brief to attract members to the quiz, just like I have added in brief for you in screen show below .

Step 4 

Scroll down and select the other entries . Choices have been provided for you ..you have to click on the arrow buttons (highlighted by blue pointer ) to view the choices , as shown in the screen shot below .

Step 6 

After you press “Add” button,  an option to add thumbnail to your quiz appears as depicted in screen shot below .

For example here I have used this picture with IF logo, since my Demo quiz is about IF, An option to crop /resize you picture appears on your chosen pic, it’s self explanatory n you can crop your pic as per your choice.

Step 7 

After cropping and resizing the pic add it and it gets added to the quiz as shown below . At this stage you can delete /uploaded another pic /crop etc as per your choice , the options appear as shown in SS below. . 

Choosing a thumbnail at this stage is essential, otherwise you can’t proceed to next step because IF uses the thumbnail  to depict your quiz in the forum. 

Now that we are done with the first part, scroll down for adding next part that is, adding Quiz and Ans choices . 

We have completed the prerequisites for creating new quiz and now reached the second stage .

Step 8 

Adding Qs and Answers.

Click on the “Add New Question” as depicted in SS below .

Selecting a thumbnail for each Qs is not necessary at all .
Its perfectly your choice, you will need it only in case it’s essential to show a particular scene of a show in your Qs, or your Qs is asked about that pic.

Step 9 

After clicking on above button a new window appears . Please look at all the options given carefully before proceeding . Firstly type out your Qs in the given space . Having done that,  selecting a colour of your choice here is required , or else IF will select by default . 

For easy understanding for beginners , the colour you select will appear on the squares on which IF will display your multiple choice answers. For example blue colour was chosen for quiz as shown in SS below, This is how it appears for members.

Step 10 
After colour choice is given … please select the type of Ans choices you want to give. Most popular being MCQ and I have selected that as shown in SS below. The choices appear by clicking on arrow button on Rt side as pointed by blue arrow.

Step 11 

After adding Qs, we move down to type the various answer choices into the spaces provided, as shown in SS below. Remember to mark the correct answer to each set of MCQs .

Correct Ans has to be ticked in the box provided, as pointed by blue arrow in SS below. If you fail to provide correct ans the quiz will not become activated. 

Step 12 

Four spaces are provided for 4 ans choices, however  you may have up to 8 choices if you wish, you have to click on “add another answer” button and then type your Ans and then click on “add” button as pointed in the two SSs below .
