Lesson Quizzes attract more students and keep them coming back
Hot off the presses! We just launched the all-new MemberPress Courses Quizzes feature. It's up, running, and ready to kick your courses into high gear.
This new feature makes it fast and easy to create lesson quizzes that…
- Enhance learning
- Motivate students
- Increase curiosity
- Decrease dropouts
- Help you sell more online courses!
Attract More Students
It's simple: When it comes to online courses, only one factor counts in the measure of success – learning. If your students are learning, your course is a success.
And successful courses sell.
The Quizzes feature makes your courses more attractive because assessments are proven to improve student learning. Study after study confirms that quizzes…
- Motivate and inspire students to engage with course material
- Increase information retention
- Keep students coming back
- Increase online course completion rates
When you add a lesson quiz, you instantly make your online course more interesting and more effective.
How Quizzes Work
As with every MemberPress feature, we made quizzes easy to make and manage. The function is now included in the Courses Add-on, so creating a quiz is as easy as working with WordPress Posts or Pages.
Quizzes Settings
Access the Quizzes settings right from the Courses Settings tab. From there you can do things like…
- Choose whether a quiz is required to progress through a course
- Opt to show correct answers once a quiz is complete
- Choose whether to provide automatic feedback for wrong answers
Creating a Quiz
When you go to build a new course or edit an existing one in the Curriculum Builder, you'll see the Add Quiz option front and center.
Click it to access the Quizzes Editor. There you can add any combination of blocks to build out your quiz. Blocks include:
- Multiple choice (one answer among several is correct)
- Multiple answer (student can choose multiple answers)
- True/False
- Short answer
- Essay
From the editor, you can add a setting requiring students to answers all or some of the questions to complete and submit a quiz. You can also add feedback notes that your student will see if they select a wrong answer.
Quizzes are completely customizable, so you can make sure they reflect your branding and style. However, if you're short on time, you're still in luck. Quizzes are simple and beautiful right out of the box.
Start Adding Quizzes Right Now
If you've already got MemberPress Courses, you can start adding quizzes to your lessons right away.

This is a great feature. Will come in handy several times a year for our club as a way to create engagement and make off-ride interaction more interesting. Will combine with surveys, etc.
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Quizzes are going to be super helpful for my online courses.
This feature is exactly what this course plugin needs! Great work. :}
Nice! Thanks for the steady updates!
I am glad to see the quiz opportunity. The courses addon is a great innovation from MemberPress. Thank you! Judit from Hungary
I found this update valuable, as usually each user would do the course either by watching a video or reading a document, but have no way of testing their knowledge.
Now they can!
This looks phenomenal. What a great time to introduce this useful feature! Thanks MemberPress!
I’m working on building an online course with the MP plugin so I was pleased to hear about the new addition of quizzes. I’m thinking this will be a nice addition that can be added at the end of each module.
You guys rock!!

Best helpful feature you all are providing all time. kudos to the team!
Nice addition, MP! Keep enabling creators to offer more with their memberships and courses. We appreciate it!
Amazing feature!
This is useful for our business and helps to be more interactive
Awesome. I am just making my first course and this saves me so much work.
cant wait to try this feature
I haven’t started using courses on my clients’ MemberPress sites yet but it looks like I am about to on one in April. Looking forward to using these quizzes to enhance the online lessons!
Quizzes are a great way to get students engaged with the content that I have created. People like to know if they are “on track” and this is a great way to do just that.
As a webmaster and a trainer, one of the reasons for choosing Memberpress was that it now has courses and quizzes.
In going though quizzes, I found it is very easy to use, unlike some LMS’s out there that make it complicated.
Even having the option to add a quiz, so students can’t skip through the course without showing they have learned som knowledge is a fantastic option to have.
Thanks Mamberpress for being forward thinking in your membership course and quiz development.
Quizzes are so important to get interaction and assist data retention. Thanks for making this so easy to use for both admin and customer!
I have used the Quiz section for my membership and it is brilliant. So easy to set up and visually looks excellent. Great for embedding knowledge.
These quizzes are a great way to test the knowledge of people doing the course. Thank your this add-on.
This is pretty cool and a feature I was waiting for! Thanks for developing it!
Quizzes are a sure and quick way to ensure your learners/students understand the content! An essential feature!
This is a feature I’m glad has been added because it will give my courses something extra fun! Thanks memberpress!
Just what I needed for the courses I’m adding. A quiz is a great way to increase engagement as well as provide encouragement to the learner. Thanks for adding another great feature!
Quizzes are an useful and more interesting way to recap course information – rounding off the topic nicely.
Can you issue a certificate of completion for the course based on the quiz result?
Hi Megan! At this very moment, MemberPress does not support certificates. However, that feature is set to release very soon! Be on the lookout for an upcoming announcement, and if you haven’t already, be sure to subscribe to our newsletter in the box up to the right on every blog post page. Thanks so much!

This seems like an incredibly customizable feature. Thanks for adding this to courses!
Quizzes will make the courses more interactive, and give the users much better understanding of what they’re learning – as well as a check point, so they know the key points of each section. Great, just great!
This is an awesome update that definitely adds more value to MemberPress Courses.
I do wonder if it is possible to embed media such as videos, images or audio in the quiz question blocks for both questions and answers? That way it makes quizzes more flexible especially when testing knowledge that is not easily expressed in English text. (math, foreign language, visual/audio based content, etc.)
Hey Ryan!
Thanks for your comment. While our question labels don’t currently support media embeds, you can embed content in the “Feedback for Wrong Answer” area for the quizzes blocks via embed shortcodes provided by WordPress or another plugin.
🙂 Syble
This looks like a great feature. Thanks.
Is there, or is there going to be, a function whereby you can set up the awarding of badges, certificates etc to recognise good work or the completion of stages of work?
Thanks.
David
Hi David 🙂
Yes! The certifications feature is currently in development. Be sure to subscribe to the blog for updates on the release, which will be in the near future. Thank you, and feel free to contact our support team if you have additional questions.

A great platform for courses & quizzes is learn dash!
Great feature! We aren’t doing lessons though, we’re doing Zooms that different tiers have access to. Will keep in mind for future projects though!
So glad I know this is part of memberpress. Thanks!
This is great!
I think it’s a great addition to your plugin. If you have courses, you should have the ability to offer quizzes. Especially if you are providing courses with a high level of knowledge that needs to be retained. You benefit by providing the important points and challenge the retention of your member. This creates a richer experience and even feels more educational.
Well done improving the user experience MP!
I am creating a course and I was planning to do a quiz by videoconference. So I was complicating myself. This feature seems useful and easier.
Thanks for this update
I am looking for ways to create an interactive environment for my website. The lesson quiz function will be extremely helpful. I hope in the next few weeks, I can try adding and testing the quiz features. Thanks for the video info.
