Best WordPress Quiz Plugins in 2026

Data from WordPress.org Updated September 7, 2026 First published September 4, 2026 5 min read

Quizzes, surveys and scored assessments with results and reporting.

Quiz plugins ask questions and do something with the answers: score a test, sort a visitor into a result, or collect a survey. Which of those three you need decides the plugin, because few do all of them well.

Together these 10 plugins run on more than 132,000 active WordPress sites. Ranked from both WordPress.org orderings for "quiz", its tag listing and its search results.

How to choose a Quiz Plugin for WordPress

1
Scoring, personality or survey
A graded test, a "which one are you" result and an anonymous survey have different data models. Match the plugin to yours.
2
Look at the results screen
What the taker sees at the end is the product. Per-answer feedback, a shareable result or a simple score are very different experiences.
3
Check the reporting side
Individual answers, aggregate charts and CSV export. Without them a survey produces impressions rather than findings.
4
Decide about the email wall
Requiring an address to see the result raises leads and lowers completions. Both are defensible; do it deliberately.

Quiz Plugin comparisons: side by side

The top four against each other on installs, ratings, reviews and updates. Each measure names its own leader; there is no overall winner.

How we rank Quiz Plugins

WordPress.org publishes two orderings for "quiz" and neither is reliable alone. The tag listing covers every tag the directory files these plugins under, "quiz", "quizzes", "quiz-maker" and "exam", and is sorted by active installs, which lets a large plugin carrying one of them loosely sit above the ones the category is about. Its search results are sorted by relevance and carry their own noise. So a plugin is placed here by where it sits across both lists: high in each one lifts it, high in only one does not. We fetch both every day at 03:00 UTC, keep every day's snapshot, and add nothing of our own. No plugin is inserted, removed or sponsored, and each entry shows its position in both lists on its own page. Full methodology.

Which Quiz Plugin has the most active installs?

Quiz and Survey Master, with 40,000+ active installs reported by WordPress.org as of September 7, 2026. It ranks #2 in this list.

Which Quiz Plugin has the highest rating?

Quiz Builder for WooCommerce, rated 5.0 out of 5 by 101 reviewers on WordPress.org. Only plugins with at least 50 reviews are counted, so a single 5-star review does not win.

Which Quiz Plugin was updated most recently?

Quiz and Survey Master shipped its latest release on September 4, 2026. 9 of the 10 plugins in this list were updated in the last 90 days, which is the usual sign of active maintenance.

How many Quiz Plugins are there on WordPress.org?

WordPress.org lists 165 plugins tagged "quiz", "quizzes", "quiz-maker" and "exam" as of September 7, 2026. This page shows the top 10 in the directory's own order.

Are these Quiz Plugins free?

All 10 are free to install from WordPress.org. 2 of them are listed as commercial, meaning the developer sells a paid version or add-ons: Quiz Maker, LifterLMS.

Can I use a Quiz Plugin instead of an LMS?

For standalone tests, yes. What you do not get is the rest of a course: lessons in order, progress across them, gated content and certificates. If the quiz is the whole product, a quiz plugin is much lighter. If it is one step in a course, the course plugin's own quizzes will integrate better.

Should I require an email address to show results?

It reliably raises the number of addresses collected and reliably lowers the number of people who finish. Showing a partial result and offering the full one by email is the usual compromise. Whichever you pick, say so before someone answers twelve questions, not after.
