Quiz Types

Q. Is each quiz entirely independent of other quizzes in the same category?

A. There is overlap among the quizzes for a particular topic.  The idea here is that different people may find a particular quiz type more educational/entertaining.  There is also variety among each quiz type for a given topic, so there is always something new.

Quiz Index

Quiz Difficulty

Q. Are the quizzes rated according to difficulty?

A. One thing you will not notice is a rating of the quizzes regarding their difficulty.  This is because what is difficult for some may be easy for others.  Also, there is something to gain from trying quizzes that may be "hard" as well as quizzes that are "easy".  A label should not put someone off from trying a quiz.
