Google Forms

Google Classroom

A survey, a quiz with points, and answers that land in a sheet.

A survey in minutes

  1. Go to forms.new
  2. Give the form a title and a short description
  3. Click + to add a question and pick a type: Multiple choice, Checkboxes, Short answer, Dropdown, Linear scale…
  4. Toggle “Required” for questions that must be answered
  5. Click “Send” to get a link

A quiz that grades itself

Settings > “Make this a quiz”. Then on each question click “Answer key”, mark the right answer and set the points. When someone submits, Forms grades it automatically and can show them their score and the right answers.

Seeing the answers

The “Responses” tab shows a summary with charts. “Link to Sheets” sends every answer into a Google Sheet, one row per person — great for a class survey project.

Privacy

Don’t ask for information you don’t need. A class survey about favorite books doesn’t need home addresses or phone numbers. In school accounts, “Collect email addresses” can show who answered — turn it off for anonymous surveys.

Tip

💡 Preview your form (the eye icon) and fill it out yourself before sending it to anyone.

✏️ Practice: your turn

  1. Make a 4-question survey: “What should our class read next?”
  2. Turn it into a quiz version with an answer key
  3. Answer it yourself in Preview
  4. Link the responses to a Google Sheet
