VISIBLE PROGRESS AND REPORTS
Visible Progress You Can See
Traffic Lights give an instant sense of achievement when a quiz goes well and encourages another try when there’s room to improve. Seeing a result move from red to amber to green makes progress rewarding and gives learners a clear goal to aim for.
Quiz lists and reports make it easy to look back at scores, spot topics that need more practice and see improvement over time. Parents, tutors and teachers can follow progress and celebrate success without keeping separate records.

UNDERSTANDING THE COLOURS
What Red, Amber and Green Mean
Each Education Quizzes quiz has ten questions. The Traffic Light colour corresponds to the score achieved, making individual results easy to interpret without comparing learners against one another.
Worth remembering A Traffic Light describes the result of a quiz attempt, not a permanent judgement of someone's ability. When a quiz is played again, a new result can change the colour shown.
Here’s how to put those colours to work...
Amber
6 to 8 out of 10
A promising result with room for more practice. Revisiting the questions that were tricky can help strengthen understanding.
Green
9 to 10 out of 10
A strong result on this particular quiz. The topic can still be revisited later to keep the learning fresh.
USING RESULTS TO PLAN PRACTICE
Why Traffic Lights Make Revision More Focused
When there are lots of topics to cover, deciding where to begin can be difficult. Traffic Lights give learners a useful starting point by making results across individual quizzes easy to scan.
The colours do not create a revision plan on their own. They help you choose a manageable next step, concentrate on a topic that needs attention and return to it when you are ready.
Choose a Starting Point
Look for a red or amber result on a topic you are studying. Rather than revising everything at once, start with one area that could benefit from more practice.
Keep Practice Manageable
Revisit the topic and spend a little time on the questions that were difficult. A clear, achievable task is easier to fit into a revision session.
Check Back When Ready
Try the quiz again after practising. The new result gives you another snapshot of how that attempt went and helps you decide what to do next.
RESULTS BESIDE YOUR QUIZZES
Previous Results at a Glance
There is no need to open a separate report every time you want to check a quiz result. As the example shows, previous results can appear alongside the quiz titles in the topic list.
See which quizzes have been played, check the dates shown and return directly to a quiz for another attempt. This makes it straightforward to pick up where you left off.

COMMON QUESTIONS
Frequently Asked Questions
Clear answers about Traffic Light scores, previous quiz results and Education Quizzes reports.
What do the Traffic Light colours mean in Education Quizzes?
Traffic Lights show the score achieved on an individual ten-question quiz. Red means 1 to 5 correct answers, amber means 6 to 8 and green means 9 to 10. They help learners identify topics they may want to revisit.
Where can I find my previous quiz results?
Previous quiz results can appear beside the quiz titles in Education Quizzes topic lists, together with the date played and a Traffic Light indicator. You can also open the available dedicated reports to review completed activity.
Does Education Quizzes mark answers automatically?
Yes. Education Quizzes automatically checks answers as learners complete a quiz and records the result. Learners receive feedback explaining answers, while quiz lists and reports make completed work easier to review later.
Can I see quiz reports for today and all time?
Yes. Dedicated Education Quizzes report views include Today, for quizzes completed that day, and All Time, for looking back across a longer record of completed activity. The available views depend on the account.
Can parents view their child's quiz results?
Parents can review the quiz results and activity information available through their Education Quizzes account. This helps them see which topics their child has practised and choose what to revisit together.
How can tutors and teachers use quiz reports?
Tutors can check recorded quiz activity between sessions and use the results to choose follow-up practice. School teachers can review the pupil, class or homework reporting views available to their school. Access varies by account and permissions.
Can a red or amber Traffic Light change to green?
Yes. A learner can revisit a topic and take a quiz again. A later attempt may receive a different Traffic Light colour if the score changes. A colour describes a quiz result, not a learner's overall ability.
Are quiz results and reports the same thing?
Not quite. A quiz result shows how one quiz attempt went, often with a Traffic Light beside the quiz title. Dedicated reports bring recorded quiz activity together, so you can review work across a selected period, such as Today or All Time.
