True / False Questions in WatuPRO

From version 4.3.2 WatuPRO, the WordRress quiz plugin, supports a True / False question type. This is a sub-type of the “single answer” questions and can be enabled by selecting the checkbox which shows only when “Single answer” is selected:

truefalse

 

What are the specifics of True / False Questions?

They are single-choice questions and generate radio buttons just like them. However:

  • When you select this type the two answers are automatically added (saves time)
  • These answers never randomize – True is always on top
  • There are always exactly two answers shown – True and False, regardless of any limits set for the quiz.

True / false questions are small but very useful addition built per customer requests.
