Live quiz turns revision into a race. Everyone in the room gets the same question at the same moment, the clock counts down, and the leaderboard changes after every answer. It is the most fun way to find out how well you know a topic.
How a live quiz works
- Your teacher, or a friend, creates a quiz room and shares a 6-character PIN.
- Open the 25schools app, tap Join Room and enter the PIN.
- The host approves you, and the countdown starts.
- Answer each question before time runs out. Every correct answer scores.
- See the final leaderboard, with the right answers, when the quiz ends.
What you get out of it
- Speed and accuracy. Answering against the clock trains you to think quickly, just what you need in an exam.
- Instant feedback after every question.
- Revision with friends that doesn’t feel like homework.
- Badges and streaks that reward you for showing up.
Beyond the classroom
Live quiz rooms are only the start. You can challenge any learner at your level to a one-on-one battle, and every battle counts towards weekly cups and monthly leagues. Parents can even watch the battles live.
For teachers
Teachers can run a live quiz in class with questions from their own assessments, and see every learner’s result afterwards. The full rules are on the live quiz page.
