How to Create a Multiple Choice Quiz in Google Forms with ChatGPT (6 Steps)

Quick answer

To create a multiple choice quiz in Google Forms with ChatGPT, open Google Forms, switch the form to Quiz mode in Settings, ask ChatGPT to generate your questions in a structured list, paste each question and its options into Google Forms, mark the correct answer for each, and share the link. The 6 steps below walk through every option with a 60-second video walkthrough.

The 6-step setup

From blank form to self-grading quiz in under 15 minutes

Each step takes 1-3 minutes. Open Google Forms and ChatGPT side by side before you start.

  1. Open Google Forms and turn on Quiz mode

    Go to forms.google.com, click the blank form, open Settings (gear icon), expand the Quizzes section, and toggle "Make this a quiz" to ON.

  2. Ask ChatGPT for quiz questions in a structured list

    Use this prompt: "Generate 10 multiple choice questions about [topic] for [audience]. For each question, list 4 options labeled A through D and mark the correct answer."

  3. Paste each question into Google Forms

    For each question from ChatGPT, click + to add a question, set the type to Multiple choice, type the question, and paste the 4 answer options.

  4. Mark the correct answer for each question

    Click "Answer key" on each question, select the correct option, and assign point value (typically 1 point each, or weight by difficulty).

  5. Customize feedback and quiz settings

    In Settings, set whether respondents see the correct answer immediately or after submission. Add explanations for wrong answers if useful.

  6. Share the quiz link

    Click Send (top right), copy the link, and share. Embed the form on your site with the iframe option if you prefer.

Generate questions with ChatGPT, paste them into Google Forms, set answer keys, and ship a self-grading quiz in under 15 minutes.

To create a multiple choice quiz in Google Forms with ChatGPT, open Google Forms, switch the form to Quiz mode in Settings, ask ChatGPT to generate your questions in a structured list, paste each question and its options into Google Forms, mark the correct answer for each, and share the link. The 6 steps below walk through every option with a 60-second video walkthrough.

You don't need to be a tech expert. ChatGPT writes the questions in seconds; Google Forms turns them into a self-grading quiz. The whole flow takes about 15 minutes for a 10-question quiz.

Step 1: Open Google Forms and turn on Quiz mode

Go to forms.google.com, click the blank form, open Settings (gear icon top-right), expand the Quizzes section, and toggle Make this a quiz to ON.

Quiz mode unlocks answer keys, point values, and auto-grading. Without it, Google Forms just collects responses; it won't score them.

Step 2: Ask ChatGPT for quiz questions in a structured list

Open ChatGPT in a new tab. Use this prompt:

Generate 10 multiple choice questions about [topic] for [audience]. For each question, list 4 options labeled A through D and mark the correct answer.

Replace [topic] with what you're testing (digital marketing, US history, basic Python) and [audience] with grade level or experience (high school, college freshman, intermediate). ChatGPT returns a clean list you can paste directly into Google Forms.

Step 3: Paste each question into Google Forms

Back in Google Forms, click the + icon on the floating toolbar to add a question. Set the question type to Multiple choice, type the question text, and paste each of the 4 answer options into the Option 1, Option 2, Option 3, Option 4 fields.

Repeat for every question ChatGPT generated. For a 10-question quiz, this step takes 6 to 8 minutes.

Step 4: Mark the correct answer for each question

Click Answer key at the bottom-left of each question. Select the correct option and assign a point value (1 point per question is the default; weight harder questions higher if your quiz needs it).

You can also add feedback that displays after submission, explaining why the correct answer is correct or pointing to a resource for wrong answers.

Step 5: Customize feedback and quiz settings

In Settings, choose whether respondents see the correct answer immediately after each question, only their score at the end, or no feedback at all. Lock down the form by restricting to one response per email if you need each respondent to take the quiz only once.

Other useful toggles: shuffle question order to discourage answer-sharing, shuffle answer options within questions, and require sign-in for verified takers.

Step 6: Share the quiz link

Click Send (top right). Three share routes:

  • Email, sends directly to a recipient list with the quiz embedded
  • Link, copies the shareable URL; paste in Slack, Teams, WhatsApp, your LMS, or social media
  • Embed HTML, copies an iframe you can paste into any website or LMS that accepts embeds

The Responses tab shows each submission with its score. Link the form to Google Sheets for a spreadsheet view of every answer.
