Hi @Amritha2030,

sorry for the confusion.

Auto-grading is a helpful default feature that applies to multiple-choice, text, or ranking questions. When you create a quiz, you have the option to mark or specify the correct answers for each question. Once a student completes the quiz, their results are automatically shown to them.

They can click on "View Results" to see which questions they answered correctly and which ones they got wrong, provided you've marked the correct answers while setting up the quiz.

Microsoft Forms offers this self-grading functionality, allowing test-takers to view their scores and the correct/incorrect answers after submitting the quiz. Moreover, you can even provide specific feedback for individual choices in multiple-choice questions.

For more detailed information on auto-grading in Microsoft Forms quizzes, you can refer to the "Five Essential Tips on Auto-grading for Microsoft Forms Quizzes" available on the Microsoft Community Hub.

Sadly, as of February 2024 this is not correct. It may work to create a form but it does not work to create a quiz. The difference is that a quiz has answers (which the OP) was asking about ("online test"). The sharepoint webpart only allows for "New Form" or "Add existing form". The new form option does exactly that i.e. it creates a new form and not a quiz. The "Add existing form" just plain doesn't work as the form web address copied from forms.office,com with the "Copy" button just gives an error. There may be a way to convert a form to a quiz but it is well hidden if there is but in the absence of such an option, the sharepoint online webpart is not able to display forms.

@LeonPavesic this is great but how do I upload the quiz to Sharepoint announcements?
