Quilgo Complete Guide

Explore the Demo Quiz

When you create a new Quilgo account, the dashboard already contains a “DEMO Quiz”.

The demo quiz helps you understand both the standard respondent experience and the proctored workflow.

Take a regular demo test

1. Open the “DEMO Quiz”;
2. Click “Take a demo test”;
3. Complete the test as a respondent;
4. Return to the dashboard and review the generated result.

Take a proctored demo test

1. Open the “DEMO Quiz”;
2. Click “Take a proctored demo test”;
3. Allow camera and screen access when asked;
4. Complete the test;
5. Open the generated report.

Use the proctored demo to understand:

• camera tracking;
• screen tracking;
• snapshots;
• suspicious activity detection;
• trust score reports.

Start a New Quiz

To create a new quiz:

1. Click “+ Add quiz” in the left sidebar;
2. Choose how you want to create the quiz.

The main creation methods are:

• “Build a new quiz”;
• “Import from a document”.

For a new manual quiz:

1. Click “Build a new quiz”;
2. Enter the quiz title;
3. Click “Start building your quiz”.

Choose a Question Type

After entering the quiz title, Quilgo asks you to choose the first question type.

Supported question types:

• “Multiple Choice”;
• “Checkboxes”;
• “Dropdown”;
• “Short Answer”;
• “Paragraph”;
• “Section break”.

Additional actions:

• “Import Questions”;
• “Generate questions”.

Create Choice-Based Questions

Add the question text

1. Click inside the “Question” field;
2. Enter the question.

Add answer options

1. Click “Add option”;
2. Enter the option text;
3. Repeat for additional options.

Mark correct answers

1. Find the correct option;
2. Click the checkmark next to it.

→ For “Multiple Choice” and “Dropdown”, select one correct answer.

→ For “Checkboxes”, select multiple correct answers if needed.

Shuffle answer options

1. Click the shuffle icon inside the question;
2. Leave it enabled if respondents should see options in a different order.

Add Images or Audio

To attach media:

1. Click the attachment icon inside the question;
2. Choose “Image” or “Audio”;
3. Upload the file.

Configure Scoring

Scoring settings help control how respondents are evaluated. Use them to reward correct answers, allow partial credit, or discourage random guessing on exams and certifications.

Question scoring is configured directly inside each question.

Available scoring settings:

• “Score”;
• “Partial score”;
• “Negative score”.

Set the main score

The “Score” input is enabled and expanded by default.

1. Enter the number of points in the “Score” input.

If you do not want the question to be graded:

1. Click the “Score” label to collapse or disable scoring for that question.

Enable partial score

Partial scoring is useful when a respondent gives a partially correct answer. This is especially valuable for checkbox questions where respondents may correctly identify some answers but miss others.

1. Click “Partial score”;
2. Enter the value.

Enable negative score

“Negative score” is disabled by default.

1. Click “Negative score” to expand the setting;
2. Enter the penalty value.

Negative scoring discourages guessing by subtracting points for incorrect answers. This is commonly used in exams and certifications where random guessing should reduce the final score.

Add Descriptions and Explanations

To add extra instructional text:

1. Click the three-dot menu on the question;
2. Click “Add description” or “Add explanation”.

Descriptions appear during the test.

Explanations appear later in reports or results.

Create Short Answer Questions

To configure accepted answers:

1. Add a “Short Answer” question;
2. Click “Add correct answer”;
3. Enter accepted answers.

Example accepted answers:

• dad;
• daddy;
• father.

Create Paragraph Questions

Use “Paragraph” for essays, written explanations, and manually graded answers.

Use Sections

To add a section:

1. Click “+ Add question”;
2. Choose “Section break”;
3. Enter the section title.

Use sections for:

• chapters;
• topics;
• theory blocks;
• practical tasks;
• reading passages.

Add Section Content

Sections can contain:

• descriptions;
• images;
• audio.

To add them:

1. Click the section menu or attachment icon;
2. Choose the content type;
3. Upload or enter the content.

Shuffle Questions Inside a Section

To randomize question order:

1. Click the shuffle icon on the section;
2. Leave it enabled.

Use Question Pools

Question pools help generate different versions of the same assessment automatically. This reduces answer sharing and makes repeated testing more secure.

To randomly select questions from a section:

1. Add many questions to the section;
2. Open the random selection setting;
3. Enter how many questions should be selected.

Example:

• Add 100 questions;
• Randomly select 10.

Each respondent receives a different subset.

Save the Quiz

Saving the quiz creates the initial delivery link and stores all question settings; scoring rules; and quiz structure.

When the quiz is ready:

1. Click “Save changes”.

Quilgo automatically creates a ready-to-use quiz link.

Open Quiz Settings

To configure test behavior:

1. Click “Settings” from the dashboard;
2. Or click “Change settings” from the link screen.

Use Public Mode

Public mode is designed for self-registration workflows. Instead of manually creating respondents one by one, you can distribute one shared link and let respondents register themselves.

Public mode allows respondents to self-register using a shared link.

Restrict registrations to one domain

Domain restriction limits registrations to specific email domains, such as those of schools, universities, or companies. This helps prevent external users from registering for private assessments.

1. Enable “Allow registration for a specific domain only”;
2. Enter the allowed domain.

Allow one registration per email

This setting prevents respondents from repeatedly registering with the same email address. It is especially useful for graded quizzes, certifications, and controlled assessments.

1. Enable “Allow to register only once with the same email address”.

Use both restrictions together

Use both settings for stricter classroom or university workflows.

Use Restricted Mode

Restricted mode is designed for controlled assessments where you already know exactly who should take the test. Instead of self-registration, respondents receive individually assigned tests.

Restricted mode creates individually assigned tests.

Add respondents manually

1. Switch to “Restricted”;
2. Paste or type names and emails;
3. Press Enter to separate entries.

Accepted formats:

• John Snow;
• john@example.com;
• John Snow john@example.com.

2. Choose the source quiz.

Connect Google Classroom

1. Click “Connect your Google Classroom”;
2. Import students.

Enable Camera Tracking

Camera Tracking adds webcam monitoring to the assessment workflow. Quilgo captures snapshots during the session and includes them in reports for later review.

1. Enable “Camera Tracking”.

Enable Screen Tracking

Screen Tracking captures snapshots of the respondent’s shared screen during the assessment. Use it when you need stronger evidence of integrity or want to review on-screen activity during the test.

1. Enable “Screen Tracking”.

Enable Force Tracking

Force Tracking ensures that tracking remains active throughout the test session. This is useful for high-control exams and certification-style assessments.

1. Enable “Force tracking”.

Configure Overtime and Auto-Submit

Allow overtime

1. Enable “Allow overtime” if respondents may continue after the timer ends.

Auto-submit answers when time is over

1. Enable “Auto-submit answers when time over” if Quilgo should submit the test automatically.

Show score after submission

1. Enable “Show score after submission” if respondents should see their score immediately after submission.

Save settings

1. Click “Save settings”.
