A WordPress quiz plugin lets you build quizzes and exams on your own site and show the result as soon as someone finishes. Some also run surveys, polls or calculations, and one puts quizzes alongside games, timelines and interactive video. Eight plugins follow, in no particular order, with installs and ratings from the WordPress.org plugin directory, as of Oct 2026.
A quiz plugin turns a page into something people do, not something they skim. It can test what students learned, help a visitor work out which service fits them, or simply be a bit of fun that gets shared.
The plugins here range from dedicated quiz makers to survey builders, a form builder that does calculations and an interactive content tool with games and timelines. They're listed alphabetically and in no particular order, and each description comes from the plugin's own WordPress.org listing. If you're adding quizzes to a course, my guide to online course platforms is worth a look too.
How these eight quiz plugins were chosen
Every plugin here is listed in the WordPress.org plugin directory, and that listing is where the active installs band, the rating out of 5, the number of ratings, the publisher and the last updated date come from, as of Oct 2026. Quiz makers, survey builders and interactive content tools sit together here, because all of them turn up when people look for a way to add a quiz. The free plan column says Yes only where the listing itself names a free version or free use. Not stated means it didn't, so read the listing before you install.

Eight quiz, survey and interactive content plugins
Calculated Fields Form
Best for: Multi-step forms that calculate an answer, from quote generators to booking forms, when a quiz needs maths behind it.
HD Quiz
Best for: Adding fun quizzes to a blog with an easy, intuitive builder, when you don't need exams or surveys.
Interactive Content H5P
Best for: Mixing quizzes with other interactive content types, such as presentations, interactive video, memory games, timelines and hotspots.
Opinion Stage
Best for: Marketers and agencies who want quizzes, polls and surveys built to boost engagement and collect leads, with AI help.
Quiz and Survey Master
Best for: Building unlimited quizzes and surveys from one plugin, for sites that run both kinds of questionnaire.
Quiz Maker by AYS
Best for: Interactive quizzes and online exams, from a publisher that also makes one of the survey plugins on this list.
Survey Maker by AYS
Best for: Creating surveys, questionnaires and survey forms with a built-in builder, when you need opinions rather than right answers.
Watu Quiz
Best for: Exams and quizzes that show the result straight away and assign grades and point levels, from a plugin maintained for 12 years.
Quiz, survey or interactive content: three jobs
A quiz has right answers or outcomes, and the plugin scores or grades it. A survey asks for opinions, so there's nothing to mark. Interactive content goes wider, with games, timelines and hotspots as well as quizzes. Knowing which one you need cuts this list down fast.

Which quiz plugin type for which goal
- Testing what students or staff learned: an exam-style quiz plugin with grades and instant results.
- Collecting leads from a quiz: a quiz maker aimed at marketers, with polls and surveys built in.
- Feedback or market research: a survey builder.
- A quiz that works out a score, quote or total: a form builder with calculated fields.
- Learning content with games and timelines: an interactive content plugin.
Installs and ratings don't move together
Interactive Content H5P shows 40,000+ active installs but only 61 ratings in the WordPress.org plugin directory, as of Oct 2026. Opinion Stage shows 6,000+ active installs and 277 ratings, so a plugin with a fraction of the installs has far more ratings behind its score.
Neither number tells you which plugin will suit your site, but together they show how much evidence sits behind a rating. A score from a few dozen people is a thin signal for a plugin that tens of thousands of sites run.
Make the quiz worth finishing
- Keep it short enough that people don't give up halfway through on a phone.
- Write the result pages first, then the questions that lead to them.
- If you're collecting emails, say so before the first question, not after the last one.
- Run through the quiz yourself on desktop and mobile before you share it.
- Link each result to a next step, such as a guide, a product or a booking page.
Do you make a WordPress quiz or survey plugin? Tool makers can ask to be considered for a featured place on this list.
My plain advice on quiz plugins
Start with what you'd like the quiz to do. Exams need grading, lead quizzes need an email step and a good result page, and surveys need neither. Then pick a plugin of that kind with a recent update and a healthy number of ratings, and build one quiz before you plan ten.
A quiz is a form with a better story, so the same rules apply, and these ten ways to lift online form conversion rates will help more people reach the end. It's the last few questions where people drop off, so that's where they'll make the biggest difference.

Frequently asked questions
What's the difference between a quiz plugin and a survey plugin?
A quiz has right answers or outcomes and gives a result or grade. A survey collects opinions, so nothing gets marked.
Can a WordPress quiz plugin collect email addresses?
Some can. One plugin here describes itself as built for marketers who want to generate leads, so check each listing for lead capture before you choose.
Are WordPress quiz plugins free?
One listing here names free use, as of Oct 2026, and the others don't say either way. Check the free plan column and the listing before you install.
Which quiz plugin has the most active installs?
Three plugins here share the 40,000+ active installs band, as of Oct 2026: a quiz and survey maker, an interactive content tool and a form builder with calculations.
Can I run exams with a WordPress quiz plugin?
Yes. Several plugins here mention exams, grades or point levels, and show the result as soon as someone finishes.
