Exam-style quiz flow: one question per page, navigation controls, and question state handling
Exam-style quiz flow: one question per page, navigation controls, and question state handling
Hi,
I’m building an exam-style quiz (PMP / psychometric-style experience) using Community Quiz, and I’d like to better understand the plugin’s supported capabilities and recommended practices before extending it.
1. Single question per page
Is it possible (via settings or configuration) to display only one question per page, with navigation between questions?
If this is the default or recommended behavior, is there a way to explicitly control or enforce it?
If not supported natively, what is the intended way to achieve an exam-like flow without relying on fragile workarounds?
2. Navigation controls (exam flow)
Are there built-in options or supported approaches to implement custom navigation controls such as:
Next - proceed after answering the current question
Skip - skip the current question and answer it later
Back - return to a previously skipped question (without modifying already submitted answers)
Quit - exit the quiz early and jump directly to the Final Report page
I’m specifically interested in understanding which of these behaviors align with Community Quiz’s design, and which ones are discouraged.
3. Question state handling
Does Community Quiz internally track different question states, such as:
unanswered
answered
skipped
If so:
Are these states accessible or extensible?
Is there a supported way to prevent users from modifying answers once they’ve been submitted?
4. Best practices / limitations
If some of the above features are not supported natively:
Are there recommended workarounds?
Are there known limitations or pitfalls when attempting this via template overrides or custom JavaScript?
My goal is to keep everything aligned with Community Quiz’s intended architecture and avoid fragile or unsupported hacks as much as possible.
5. UX guidance (optional)
Are there any official UX guidelines, examples, or recommended patterns for implementing exam-like navigation (e.g. PMP / psychometric-style quizzes) using Community Quiz?
Thanks in advance - I’d really appreciate guidance on what is supported vs. what should be avoided.
Best regards,
Harel Hatzin
