How to do I display buttons and questions dynamically for a quiz app in thunkable? Please help. An example would be great. Thanks ---

There are some good tutorials available if you Google _Thunkable quiz_. I recommend starting with this one: > [@My Quiz App jumps from question to question by itself](http://community.thunkable.com/t/my-quiz-app-jumps-from-question-to-question-by-itself/1018538/9): > > There are many good tutorials and demos available if you Google “quiz Thunkable”. I’d start with something like this, which shows how to build a single-screen question area. The time you put into this will pay off when you later have to troubleshoot or modify your code.

Thank you so much for replying. I have seen that video and it’s great. My issue is that i want to have multiple local DB because i have different sets of questions for different topics. The video does not really show how to get that done. the only way i can think of is to create more screens which won’t help me in the future. ---

Correct, you really want to build an app such as a quiz in a single screen for efficiency. I recommend you figure out a way to use a single data source. What I’ve done in the past is to set a range for my questions. For example, science questions are in rows 1-99, math questions in rows 100-199, etc. Then, I can set a variable value for the row and adjust as needed within a single range. Another option is to use Firebase which can support any structure of data that you choose… it doesn’t have to be in “rows” and “columns.” ---
