How to share the answer key with respondents after the quiz?

A quiz can provide more value when participants can review not only their final score, but also which answers were correct. With Porsline’s online quiz maker, you can create an Answer Key, automatically grade supported questions and control when corrected Answer Sheets become available.

This video shows how to configure the Answer Key and turn quiz submissions into personalised results.

What You Will Learn

• Define the correct answers for supported question types.
• Enable automatic grading with the Answer Key.
• Decide whether to release corrected answers immediately or after the test timer expires.
• Add an Answer Sheet link to the End Page.
• Assign scores to correct answers and enable negative marking when needed.
• Display the participant’s final score using Score Piping.
• Review and print corrected Answer Sheets from the Results Table.

When Sharing the Answer Key Is Useful

Sharing corrected answers is particularly useful when participants need feedback, not just a final score. The right release time depends on whether the quiz is designed for learning, formal assessment or internal training.

Give Students Feedback After an Online Test

In academic research and education workflows, instructors can use an Answer Key to automatically correct supported questions and let participants review their results.

For tests completed within a shared time window, corrected answers can be withheld until the timer expires rather than displayed immediately after each submission.

Reinforce Learning After Employee Training

After a compliance, onboarding or professional-development quiz, employees may benefit from seeing which answers require further review. Within an employee survey solution, automatic grading can provide a consistent result while the corrected Answer Sheet gives participants clearer feedback.

Before publishing a real quiz, submit one test response containing both correct and incorrect answers. Confirm the score, corrected answers and release timing from the participant’s perspective.
