Create a multiple-choice quiz in Google Forms using ChatGPT

If you’ve ever created a multiple-choice quiz from scratch, you know it’s not easy. Coming up with the right questions, figuring out the ideal quiz structure, and determining the best design takes time and effort. Luckily, you can use artificial intelligence tools like ChatGPT to make the process easier and more efficient.

This solution may feel like a hassle for nontechnical users — it involves code and introduces room for error. But don’t worry. In this article, we’ll provide step-by-step instructions for creating a multiple-choice quiz in Google Forms using ChatGPT and Google Apps Script, so you’ll know exactly how to make your own. Plus, we’ll introduce you to an easier alternative: Jotform, the online form builder with a native ChatGPT app that makes building quizzes a breeze.

Step by step: How to generate a multiple-choice quiz in Google Forms using ChatGPT

Google Forms has many useful features, but one major downside is its lack of a native way to connect with ChatGPT. As a result, you’ll have to use a complex work-around if you want to create a quiz in Google Forms using the AI platform.

While the process isn’t speedy or simple, using Google Apps Script helps get the job done. But this method may seem intimidating if you don’t have any experience using code. Let’s walk through it step by step:

  1. Open ChatGPT.
  2. Prompt ChatGPT to provide you with quiz questions. Be as specific as possible to get the best results.
  3. Example prompt: Create an engaging multiple-choice quiz on dinosaurs for a second-grade class. Include 10 questions.

    ChatGPT will then generate the quiz content for you.

  1. Next, prompt ChatGPT to turn the quiz into a Google Apps Script that tells Google how to create your Google Form. ChatGPT will provide you with a block of code. Click the copy icon in the upper-right corner of the chat window to copy the code.

    Google Apps Script may request permissions to complete the action. After you provide any necessary authorization, it will create your multiple-choice quiz in Google Forms, which you can then find in your Google Drive.
