Choosing A Quiz

Once you have registered, playing QuizBay.com quizzes really couldn't be any easier. Simply click on one of the quiz menu options within the right hand navigation or access the full list of quizzes from the 'Quizzes' page. On clicking one of the links, you will be asked if you want to take the quiz or have a choice of any sub-categories (which are more specific quiz areas under the general category i.e. Football being a specific area under the general classification of Sport).

You then need to choose what difficulty level you would like to tackle, whether it is Easy, Medium or Hard. Once you have chosen the category, you will need to choose how many questions you would like to face. On choosing how many questions you would like to face, you will be presented (in brackets) with the amount of time you have to complete that particular quiz. This could range from 1 minute to 5 minutes, depending on the difficulty of the quiz and how many questions you are answering.

On starting the quiz, you will be presented with a list of 5 or 10 questions per page, with the time limit for the quiz counting down on the right hand side of the page. The time limit will always be displayed and shows you how long you have left to complete the quiz. If you do not complete the quiz in time, a screen will pop up in front of you saying that your time has run out and will ask you to continue to submit your score.

All of the questions that you will face are multiple choice, these are based on a standard question an answer format. Some of the questions will display an image, audio clip or video clip that you will be asked a question about. On the audio and video clips, simply click on the play button within control strip that is displayed within the question and you will see/hear the clip associated with the question. You can of course stop the clip at any time once you know the answer to save precious time. Please make sure though that you stop one clip from playing before you move on to the next question otherwise it could hinder you from hearing or viewing the next clip properly.

On answering all of the questions on the page, you will need to click 'Continue to Next Page' at the bottom of the page after all of the questions.
