Multiple Choice Quiz in Anki

Overview

The plugin supports the creation of multiple-choice questions. The possible answers (once correct and several wrong ones) are displayed as click-able buttons.

Example multiple choice card

The plugin further only allows the user to click any other than the “Again” ease button if the correct answer has been provided.

Example: correct answer has been given

If a wrong answer has been given, only the “Again” button is displayed along with the correct answer:

Example: wrong answer has been given

This code for this plugin was based on the “Multi-choice Quiz” plugin but by now has been almost completely rewritten in order to make the plugin more stable.

Usage instructions

• Create a card model whose name contains the string MultipleChoice

• In that model, define the following fields:

  • Answer
  • Distractor1
  • Distractor2
  • ... (up to at most Distractor9)

  You probably want to add a field Question for posing the question, but it is up to you how you design your card.

• When defining the card layout, use the string [[[buttons]]] to determine the place at which the answer buttons will be displayed: - when the question is shown, at this place the buttons with

  the possible answers will be shown

  • when the answer is shown, at this place the buttons will be shown with the correct answer button highlighted in green and a possible wrongly pressed answer button highlighted in red.

• When creating a card, fill in the correct answer into field Answer and fill in as many distractors as you like in the remaining fields (you can leave distractor fields empty, if you want)
