What you'll build
By the end of this guide, you'll have a fully functional scored quiz that tracks each respondent's points in real time, then automatically shows a different results page depending on their score, all built without writing a single line of code. You can use this for training assessments, lead qualification quizzes, product recommendation flows, or any scenario where answers should determine an outcome.
When to use this
You're running employee training and need to verify knowledge with a pass/fail threshold
You want a lead qualification quiz that routes prospects to different offers based on how they answer
You're building a product recommendation flow where results depend on the user's inputs
You need a knowledge check at the end of an onboarding sequence
You run online courses and want learners to see personalized feedback based on their score
Step-by-step to build your quiz with automatic scoring
Step 1: Create a new project
From your Formaloo dashboard, click + New project and choose Form. This starts you with a project that already has one form attached. The form is where you'll build your quiz questions and scoring logic.
Tip: Give your project a clear name (e.g., "Product knowledge quiz") so it's easy to find later.
Step 2: Add questions & style to your quiz
Open the form editor. For each quiz question, add a Multiple choice or Dropdown field. Multiple choice works best for quizzes because it's visually clear and easy to answer on mobile.
For each question field:
Click + Add field and select Multiple choice (or Dropdown)
Type your question as the field label
Add all answer options
Mark one option as the correct answer; you'll reference this when setting up scoring logic in a later step
Click Publish to save changes any time
💡 Tip: Keep all questions on one page for shorter quizzes. For longer assessments (10+ questions), use the form's page break feature to split questions across sections.
To change how your quiz looks, go to the Design tab and create your new theme or use one of the themes in the Gallery to give your quiz a fresh and nice look.
Step 3: Add a variable field to track the score
A variable field is a hidden, number-only field that stores a running calculated value; in this case, your quiz score. It never appears to the respondent unless you pipe its value; check out step 5 and 7 to see how you can do so.
Click + Add field and scroll to Variable
Select Integer if you don't want to calculate decimal points. Otherwise, select Decimal.
Name the variable something clear, like "Score" or "Total score"
Set the default value to
0. This is the starting score before any answers are given.Assign an ID to the score field (e.g., total_score); you'll use this for answer piping in the ending page (step 5) and email templates (step 7).

Step 4: Set up scoring logic for each question
This is where you assign points when your user selects a correct answer. You'll use Advanced logic, found in the form settings panel on the right side of the form editor.
In the form editor, open the form settings panel on the right side and click Advanced logic
Under each Field click + Add rule
Set the condition: [Your question field] is [correct answer option]
Set the action: Add → [point value] → [your Score variable field] (e.g., Add
1point to theTotal scorevariable)Click Save
Repeat this for every question in your quiz
Step 5: Create your results ending pages
A form in Formaloo can have multiple ending pages, each one shown to a different group of respondents based on their score. Create one ending page for each result tier.
To add ending pages:
In the form editor, scroll to the bottom of your form
You'll see the default Ending page. Edit it for your first result tier (e.g., "Well done! You passed.")
To add more ending pages, click + Add ending page at the bottom of the editor
Create one page for each score range, for example:
Passed: shown to respondents who scored 8–10
Almost there: shown to respondents who scored 5–7
Try again: shown to respondents who scored 0–4
Customize each ending page with a title, message, and optional image or link
💡 We recommend keeping the default ending page and customizing it to serve as a 'fallback' page for any edge cases.
For example, if there are any discrepancies in logic, or if two variables end up getting the same amount of points (so there's no way to pick the winner based on the highest score) – the user will land on that default ending page.
Step 6: Set up conditional routing to the right ending page
Now you'll tell Formaloo which ending page to show based on the respondent's score. Go back into Advanced logic, this time using the On submit trigger.
📖 Learn more about handling multiple ending pages with Logic: How to set up multiple ending pages with redirect logic
In the form settings panel on the right side, click Advanced logic
Click the On submit tab
Click + Add rule
Set the condition: [Score variable field] is greater than or equal to [minimum score for this tier] (e.g.,
8)Set the action: Go to ending page → [Passed]
Click Save
Add a second rule for the next tier: Score is greater than or equal to 5 → Go to ending page → Almost there
Add a third rule (or leave the default ending page) for the lowest score tier
💡 Formaloo evaluates On submit rules in order, top to bottom. Put your highest score tier first so it matches before falling through to lower tiers.
Step 7: (Optional) Email respondents their score
If you want respondents to receive a confirmation email showing their score, set up a Send email action in your On submit logic.
In Advanced logic → On submit, add a new rule (no condition needed if it should fire for everyone)
Set the action to Send email
Select or create a custom email template. Add
@scorein the template body to pipe in the respondent's score automaticallySet the recipient to the respondent's email field (select it from the field dropdown)
📖 Learn how to create and use custom email templates: How to create and send custom email templates
Step 8: Preview and publish your quiz
Click Preview in the top bar to test your quiz, answer each question and confirm the correct ending page appears
Test each score tier by submitting multiple times with different answer combinations
Once everything works, click Share and copy your quiz link, or embed the form on your website
💡 Tip: If you're building this quiz for a portal where users log in to take it and see their own history, you can activate a client portal on this project. See how to create a portal and manage user access for the full setup. Custom domains are available on the Business plan or via the Brand removal add-on.
Final result
You now have a scored quiz that automatically tallies points as respondents answer, then routes each person to a personalized results page based on their total score. If you added the email step, respondents also get a confirmation showing their score with no manual work on your end. The quiz works for unlimited respondents, tracks every submission in your Formaloo dashboard, and can be embedded anywhere or shared as a standalone link.
