GKHow the daily quiz works
- The ten questions are chosen from the 520 multiple-choice questions on this site. The choice depends only on the date, so everyone gets the same ten on the same day.
- Do the quiz on consecutive days to build a streak. The streak is counted in your own browser.
- After the quiz you can share your score on WhatsApp and challenge your group.
- Want more? "Random mix" gives fifteen questions that change every time.
Ideas for groups
Family: one person reads the questions aloud at dinner; everyone answers before the choices are read. Class or tuition group: the teacher shares the link in the morning and students post their scores by evening. Friends: the lowest score brings the samosas.
Getting more out of each quiz
A quiz teaches most in the minute after it ends. Every answer comes with a short explanation, so read the ones you got wrong before you close the page, and say the right answer aloud once. If the same kind of question beats you twice, such as capitals or the years of the freedom struggle, open that topic and go through it as flash cards. A score of six or seven with the mistakes understood is worth more than a lucky nine.
Do not guess wildly. When you are unsure, first strike out the choices you know are wrong. Two choices are often easy to remove, and the habit helps in every multiple-choice exam. Keep to one sitting of the daily quiz a day; a streak of short daily sittings builds memory better than an hour once a week.
