Let them know how much time they have, whether they can skip questions, and what to expect after completing the quiz.

After your quiz has been live for some time, gather participant feedback. Analyze the results and consider any suggestions for improvement. Periodically update the quiz to keep it relevant and fresh.
Step 10: Promote Your Quiz
