The short answer
Last updated July 2026
Google Forms is a good place to run a quiz and a slow place to write one, because every question, option, answer key, and points value is typed by hand. VidQuiz does the writing part: paste a video link, get a full multiple choice quiz with answers, points, and feedback, then export a Google Forms ready CSV and import it into a Form. You keep grading, sharing, and collecting responses in Google Forms exactly as you do now.
Google Forms is genuinely good at the things that come after a quiz exists. It collects responses, grades multiple choice automatically, shows you which questions the class got wrong, and it is free with a Google account. What it does not do is write the questions. Building a twenty question quiz in Forms means typing twenty stems, eighty options, twenty answer keys, twenty point values, and twenty pieces of feedback, one field at a time.
VidQuiz handles the writing and hands the result to Forms. Paste the link to the video you want to test people on, and it produces a complete multiple choice quiz: question, four options, the correct answer, points, and a short piece of feedback that Forms shows when someone gets it wrong. Then export the Google Forms ready CSV, which is laid out in the column order Forms importers expect.
The result is the workflow most teachers and trainers actually want. The quiz is written for you, and it still lives in Google Forms, where your class already takes it and your gradebook already reads it.
At a glance
Building a Forms quiz by hand vs generating it first
| Step | Typing it into Google Forms | Generating it with VidQuiz |
|---|---|---|
| Deciding what to test | Rewatch the video and take notes | The video is read for you and the testable points are pulled out |
| Writing 20 questions | Type each stem and four options, about 100 fields | Written in seconds, you review and edit |
| Setting the answer key | Open the answer key on every question and tick the right option | The correct answer is already marked |
| Points and feedback | Set per question, one at a time | Points and a one line explanation come with each question |
| Getting it into Forms | Already there | Export the Forms ready CSV and import it into a Form |
| Grading and responses | Google Forms | Google Forms, unchanged |
Google Forms imports questions from a CSV through an import add-on, not natively. The export is built for that step.
How do you make a quiz in Google Forms?
In Google Forms, open a blank form, go to Settings, and turn on "Make this a quiz". That switches on the answer key, points, and automatic grading. Then add each question, choose multiple choice, type the options, open the answer key, mark the correct option, set the point value, and add feedback. Repeat for every question.
That flow is fine for five questions and painful for thirty. The bottleneck is never Forms itself, it is the writing. Generating the questions first and importing them turns an afternoon into a review pass.
Can you import questions into Google Forms from a CSV?
Not with Forms on its own. Google Forms has no built in CSV question import, which surprises people every year. What works is an import add on from the Google Workspace Marketplace, several of which read a CSV of questions, options, correct answers, and points and build the Form for you. VidQuiz exports its CSV in that shape, so the import step is a file upload rather than a formatting project.
The alternative route, if you prefer not to install an add on, is Google Apps Script. A short script can read a CSV and create the Form items programmatically. It is more setup up front and worth it if you build quizzes in bulk every week.
Does Google Forms grade a quiz automatically?
Yes, for multiple choice. Once a form is set as a quiz and each question has an answer key, Forms scores submissions the moment they arrive and can release grades immediately. It also shows you a summary of which questions were missed most often, which is the single most useful screen for spotting the part of a video nobody understood.
This is exactly why the Forms plus generated questions combination works. Forms is strong at scoring and reporting, and weak at authoring. Fix the authoring and you keep everything Forms is good at.
Is a Google Forms quiz good enough for graded assessments?
For low stakes checks, homework, and comprehension quizzes after a video, yes, and it is what a lot of US classrooms and training teams already run on. For high stakes proctored exams it is thin, because Forms has no lockdown, no question randomization worth the name, and nothing stopping a second tab. If the score really counts, export to your LMS instead, which is what the QTI export is for.
