the field group is an arbitrary classification that can be used for designating a subject, a chapter, difficulty level, user, etc. and is used for selecting the kind of test at the start. the field answer1 always contains the correct answer but the app will randomize the order during execution, but it will keep score, for the session.

the actual csv contents in this app is reproduced below:

group,question,answer1,answer2,answer3,answer4
SC,how many planets are there?,9,7,8,10
BD,Paris is found in what country?,france,germany,ireland,scotland
SC,language used for building web pages?,html,apl,cobol,basic

BD,someone collapses due to cardiac arrest.  What does he need,CPR,ACT,DMV,HRT

save the above into a file called myquiz.csv

the table is created in airtable and can be easily replicated with these steps (this assumes you already have an airtable account).

  1. create a new workbase and specify that you will import a spreadsheet.
  2. browse to the location of myquiz.csv and press ok and that’s it.
  3. obtain the apikey, dbid, table name and grid name and note them down.

here is a link to the project:

open it and apply the information above to the airtable properties, and you’re ready to go!

great post! As soon as i opened it, i notice you set the API key and BaseID with blocks. Do you want to change that?

Thank you for sharing! Nice work!

I like how you catch the correct prior to shuffling the list. I do that differently in my own quiz app. I like this approach better i think!

please go to the top of this thread and follow the instructions how to create your own airtable version of the quiz table. you need to create an account in airtable in order to create a table there.
