A clear statement can reveal a misconception.
01 · When to use it
When should you use true/false questions?
Reading comprehension
Provide a passage and ask learners to judge statements using that passage. They should find the information in the text, not guess from outside knowledge.
Remembering conditions in a procedure
Check whether learners know which actions are permitted and what must happen first. Base the question on a specific procedure they have studied.
Choose another format when…
The answer depends on personal opinion or missing information. If you need to know why learners chose an answer, add short-answer questions that ask for an explanation and prepare criteria for the person grading them.
02 · Choose an approach
One statement or a group?
Use an individual question to test one idea. Group statements when they share a source passage and you want to set score tiers for the group.
One statement, two options
Choose “Yes/No Question.” Learners read a statement and choose one of the two answers.
- How to set it up
- Enter the statement, mark the true or false answer, and set the question's points below.
Keep in mind
Avoid joining two claims with “and” if one could be true and the other false. Write two separate questions instead.
Grouped statements with score tiers
Use “Multiple True/False (tiered scoring)” in Online Exams when several statements share a passage. Each statement has its own answer; you set the group's score by the number answered correctly.
- How to set it up
- Enter the shared information and each statement. Mark each answer, then complete the score-tier table.
Keep in mind
Set the tiers to suit your assessment. Do not assume equal points per statement or treat this example as an official exam scoring rule.
03 · Step-by-step guide
How to create true/false questions in NineQuiz
Choose a format to see its editor illustration. Step 5 of the grouped format shows the score-tier table.
Select each step to see where to enter a statement, mark its answer, and set points.
An individual statement has True and False choices. The author marks the answer and sets points for that question.
Open your quiz and add a percentage-review question. This example asks only whether “25% of 80 is 20.” Do not combine an unrelated calculation in the same statement.
What to check
The statement can clearly be judged true or false.
Open the type selector and choose “Yes/No Question.” The answer area shows two options, with a circle to mark the correct answer.
What to check
There are exactly two answer choices.
Enter “25% of 80 is 20.” Use a short statement without double negatives or vague wording that forces learners to guess what you mean.
What to check
The question tests the stated calculation and omits no necessary conditions.
Check that 80 × 25% = 20, then mark True. If you change the statement to “25% of 80 is 25,” change the answer to False.
What to check
You verified the answer by calculating, not just scanning the sentence.
Enter a value in “Score,” such as 10. This value applies to the individual true/false question; it is not a table of tiers for grouped statements.
What to check
The points are appropriate relative to the difficulty and the other questions.
Open a practice attempt, choose True, then try False and inspect the result. After the activity, you can ask learners to show the calculation behind their choice.
What to check
The answers and points match your settings.
Illustration of the question editor1 / 6
Prepare one clear statement.
Three statements share a library schedule. This example awards 0, 2, 5, or 10 points according to the number answered correctly.
Add a question and prepare the schedule: Monday–Friday, 8 a.m.–5 p.m.; Saturday, 8 a.m.–noon; closed Sunday. Every statement will refer to this information.
What to check
Every statement can be checked against the supplied schedule.
Select “Multiple True/False (tiered scoring).” The editor shows an area for statements and a score-tier table for grading the group.
What to check
You can enter several statements and mark a true/false answer for each.
Put the library's schedule in the question and ask learners to judge each statement using it. The hours must be in the source information, not only in the answer choices.
What to check
The question provides weekday, Saturday, and Sunday hours.
Enter three statements: Monday opening at 8 a.m. — True; Saturday closing at 5 p.m. — False; closed Sunday — True. Use “Add statement” for another claim.
What to check
Each statement has its own answer and tests one fact.
In the tier table, enter: 0 correct → 0 points, 1 → 2, 2 → 5, and 3 → 10. Use the add-tier control for another row. These are sample values, not required scoring rules.
What to check
Scores increase with the number correct; the example's maximum is 10 points.
Try four responses: 0, 1, 2, and all 3 statements correct. Compare the resulting scores with your table and adjust any settings that do not match your assessment plan.
What to check
You tested intermediate results, not only a perfect response.

04 · Practical examples
Three examples for your next test
Each scenario includes a question, answer, and suggestions for adapting it to your classroom or workplace.
Math: check percentage calculations
A group has 20 people, and 5 attend the morning session.
Sample question
25% of the group attends the morning session.
Answer / grading criteria
True: 5 ÷ 20 × 100% = 25%.
Why use this question?
This tests converting a head count to a percentage. The question provides enough information to determine one answer.
Adapt it to your quiz
Adapt the total and attendance figures to your lesson. Save reviewed questions in Question Bank under percentages. When reusing them, ask learners to show the calculation if you also want to check their method.
Reading: library opening hours
Monday–Friday: 8 a.m.–5 p.m.; Saturday: 8 a.m.–noon; Sunday: closed.
Sample question
A. Opens at 8 a.m. on Monday. B. Closes at 5 p.m. on Saturday. C. Closed on Sunday.
Answer / grading criteria
A: True; B: False; C: True. Use the grouped format if you want score tiers.
Why use this question?
The statements require attention to different days and exceptions. B reveals whether learners confuse Saturday's closing time with the weekday schedule.
Adapt it to your quiz
Replace the schedule with a short notice from your lesson. For grouped questions, set the tiers and test 0 through 3 correct answers. To check recall of a specific closing time, add a fill-in-the-blank question that asks learners to supply the number.
Staff training: know when to confirm a deadline
Sample rule: confirm a completion time only after the responsible team has replied.
Sample question
A support agent may confirm a completion time before the responsible team replies.
Answer / grading criteria
False under the supplied procedure.
Why use this question?
The statement tests a clear condition. Learners should not need to guess policies beyond the information provided.
Adapt it to your quiz
Use conditions from your organization's approved procedure. After training, review the exam results report to choose questions to discuss again. Where many learners answered incorrectly, recheck the conditions in the wording before judging understanding.
05 · Mistakes to avoid
Test knowledge, not confusing wording
Common issue: One statement contains two claims: one true and one false.
How to fix it: Split them into separate questions or separate statements in a group.
Common issue: Using double negatives such as “it is not prohibited not to.”
How to fix it: State directly what is allowed or required, with clear conditions.
Common issue: Only checking the score for a perfect response.
How to fix it: Test every possible number of correct statements to verify all score tiers.
Check before assigning
- Each statement contains one idea.
- There is enough information to judge it true or false.
- Misleading wording has been removed.
- Every answer has been checked against the source.
- For grouped questions, all score tiers are set.
- You tested the quiz before assigning it.
How do individual and grouped true/false questions differ?
“Yes/No Question” has one statement and one answer. “Multiple True/False (tiered scoring)” contains several statements, individual answer keys, and a score table for the group.
Are points split evenly across grouped statements?
You enter the score tiers yourself. The example uses 0, 2, 5, and 10 points for 0, 1, 2, and 3 correct statements. These values are illustrative; choose the tiers your assessment needs.
Can I ask learners to explain an answer?
Add a “Short Answer” question in Online Exams to collect an explanation for manual grading. True/false choices alone do not reveal why a learner chose an answer.
How do I write a clear statement?
Use one short sentence, one idea, and all necessary conditions. If the answer still depends on an unstated assumption, add that information or ask the question differently.
Choose where to use your questions
Create a true/false question from your lesson
Write a clear statement and identify the answer. If several statements share a passage, use the grouped format and check its score tiers.
