How to run a class quiz on phones without student accounts

Last updated 7 November 2026

Asking every student to create an account costs lesson time and raises privacy questions. A link that works in a phone browser, with only a name and a roll number, is simpler. Here is how to run one smoothly, from preparation to the minutes after the quiz.

Before the lesson

Prepare the quiz, read every question and publish it. Open the share link yourself and play it once on your phone to check the time per question and the order of questions. Prepare a QR code for the projector so students can scan it.

Check your room's connection

A class of forty phones can overload a weak Wi-Fi network. Test with a few students, or ask those with mobile data to use it. A quiz page sends small messages, so it works on a normal connection, but a slow network will feel slower.

At the start

Show the QR code and the link. Tell students what the quiz is for, how long it takes, whether it counts for marks and that each student sees the questions in a different order. Ask them to use their real name and roll number so you can find their result.

Everyone starts at the same time, but each plays at their own pace.
Questions move on automatically after the time or after the answer.
A student whose connection drops can usually reopen the link on the same device and carry on; tell them to try that before asking you.

Keep it fair

Because each student has the questions in a different order, copying from a neighbour is harder. Still, a classroom quiz is not an invigilated exam: if the marks matter, supervise as you would for a test.

After the quiz

Open the results page. See who finished, the marks and which questions were hardest. Spend five minutes explaining the two or three most missed questions. Students remember explanations best right after they have tried the questions themselves.

Privacy

Collect only what you need: a name and a roll number. Tell students who can see their results (you), and delete the quiz and its results when you no longer need them.

A five-minute checklist

Run through these points before the class arrives.

Play the quiz once yourself on a phone.
Put the QR code and the short link on the projector.
Check the time per question and the extra time for calculations.
Decide whether the result counts and tell the class.
Have the results page open on your computer.

If something goes wrong

If the network is slow, ask students with mobile data to use it and give them a minute longer to start. If a question turns out to be wrong, note it and correct it afterwards; tell the class that you will fix the marks. If a student closes the page by mistake, ask them to reopen the link on the same device and continue.

Turn your own slides into a quiz

Upload your slides, book pages or notes and the AI writes multiple-choice questions from them. You edit, set the marks and time, and share one link. No student accounts.
