Generate with AI uses the AI credits included in your plan. If you've used your allowance, you can buy more credits or upgrade your plan from your “Manage Kourses Account” screen. Quizzes let you check members have understood your course before they move on. With a quiz you can: - Test understanding after a lesson, at the end of a module or across the whole course - Generate questions from your lesson content with AI - Set a pass mark and require a pass to unlock the next lesson - See each member's results on their profile ### **Step 1: Add a quiz to a module** 1. Open the course and go to its curriculum. 2. In the module where you want the quiz, click **Add** and choose **Quiz**. 3. The quiz builder opens on the **Quiz Settings** tab. ![Course Lessons & Content screen for Shoot Better Photos shows Module 2 lesson list with the Add menu open, and an arrow pointing to the Quiz option.

Under **Quiz Info**, enter a **Quiz Title** and **Quiz Description**. The description appears on the quiz start screen. 2. Under **Quiz Grading**, enter the **Pass Mark** as a percentage. Use 0% for a knowledge check with no pass or fail. 3. Turn on **Show answers after passing** if you want members to be able to review their answers once they pass. 4. Under **Quiz Start Screen**, turn on **Show start screen** to show an intro before the first question, then add your **Pre-headline Text** and **Button Text**. 5. Under **Quiz Image**, upload an image. If you don't add one, a default quiz image is used. ![The Shoot Better Photos quiz settings screen shows quiz details, grading, start-screen options, and a landscape quiz image; an arrow points to the pass-mark percentage field.

Open the **Questions** tab. 2. Click **Add question** and choose **Single choice**, **Multiple choice** or **Yes / No**. 3. Enter the question and answers, and mark the correct answer or answers. 4.

On the **Questions** tab, click **Generate with AI**. 2. Under **Select lessons**, tick the lessons in this module to draw questions from, or tick **Select all lessons**. 3. Under **Number of questions**, choose 5, 8, 10, 12, 15 or **Custom**. 4. Click **Generate**. The questions are added to your list, where you can edit, reorder or delete them. Lessons need written content or a processed video transcript. A lesson whose video is still being transcribed shows as unavailable until it's ready. ![Generate with AI screen for selecting lessons and question count, with a callout arrow pointing to the Generate button.

A quiz only counts as complete once the member passes, so members can't move past a quiz until they've passed it. [How to set up Locked Lessons](https://help.kourses.com/en/articles/102-how-to-lock-lessons-and-control-course-progression.md) **Viewing results** Open a member's profile and go to the **Products** tab. Under the course, you'll see each quiz with the member's pass or fail status, best score and number of attempts. ![Hannah Whitlock’s member profile shows the Products tab and an expanded Quiz Results table; an arrow points to Quiz Results.

Five to ten questions is enough to check understanding without slowing members down. - Use a 0% pass mark for recaps partway through a module, and save pass marks for end-of-module checks. - Read through AI-generated questions before you publish. You know your content best. - Wait for video transcripts to finish processing before generating, or those lessons won't be available to select. - Members who choose to review their answers can't retake that quiz afterwards, so consider this when you turn on **Show answers after passing**.
