Sometimes, you might want to control when students can start answering questions on a google form. To accomplish this, add a password.

  • Open Google drive
  • Click on NEW
  • Click on Google Form
  • Name the form
  • Create your first question which will be your password question
    • Make the question a short answer question and then use data validation to control the text entered that
      will allow the student to move on to the actual quiz.
    • You can select what data you use for validation,
    • Make sure you mark the question required.
  • To prevent any other questions showing up until a correct password is entered, add a section break or a page break to your quiz.
  • Enter your remaining questions.
To test out using my sample, click on this link and you will see what happens when you enter the correct password (unique) and incorrect password.
