Re my own quizzes, I started out nail biting, moved to twitches, on to placidity and finally to hey, I wasn't expecting the Spanish Inquisition or hey, who knew that would get good ratings! Finding it's rarely what I expect and my pet quizzes are down at the bottom while the ones I didn't care as much about are up top. Ya never know. Now I just keep writing and try to stick to what I know something about and enjoy. When a quiz becomes a chore I erase it and start over instead of fretting. I'm here to have fun!

My ratings are coming in low on the "adventures in authoring" challenges. I am trying to spend more time writing and considering how these are crafted.

Oh.... The ups and downs of single question writing.
This morning one of my questions on its first time out came back with a 'poor' rating, my very first poor question.
On the other hand, another came in with a score of .556 and an excellent rating... My very first excellent! haha

I struggle so much more with single questions than I do with whole quizzes - it's very strange!
My last one came back twice for fixes {blush} and I spent ages thinking it up too lol - it was a Daily Challenge, or I wouldn't have bothered, and I had to wrack my brains all day to think of one :-D

Something else to bear in mind is this, when I was relatively new to the site I used to just give nearly every quiz 'excellent' regardless of how I did on it. So although some authors are worried about players giving low ratings out of ignorance, there will definitely be players trying to be 'nice' by giving top ratings ignorantly!

I rate a quiz on how it is written, rather than how well I did. As all of my quizzes are so beautifully written, along with my single questions, they are all rated Excellent - *NOT*
At first it worried me that the ratings did not agree with me, then I stopped worrying about it. I do my best every time and if it is not appreciated, so what? If I enjoy a quiz I will haunt the writer's page for a while.

I think I'm more concerned with the fact that most people just rate quizzes on how they score rather than the actual quilty of the quiz. They don't get a good score so they rate it poorly regardless of how informative / well written it actually is. People can be so stubborn sometimes.

Yippee! I've just been awarded my first 'Quiz Category' badge... And one of my quizzes has actually made it to three figures in the rankings... That's the sort of encouragement needed!

I've always been an "easy grader" so I tend to give the author the benefit of the doubt, unless the questions are really confusing. I have given "excellent" ratings to quizzes I did very badly on, because I just didn't know the answers but the writing was clever. Usually I save the highest ratings for quizzes that give clever but not too obvious hints, and I try to do that when I am writing, too. Still learning.
We have a few very obscure Shakespeare plays left in the "All the Internet's a Stage" challenge, and I wonder how we'll pull that off. It would be a true challenge to write a quiz with good ratings on those.

I don't worry. Most of those at the bottom are ones on shows and books that few people have seen/read, and are often the only quiz on that thing on the site. That's a strategy I've embraced--make a quiz on something no one else has done, so instead of another Star Wars quiz, I do "Hamlet," "Kiss of the Spider Woman," etc.
On the other hand, I'm surprised that my highest quiz is the one on "A Pup Named Scooby-Doo." It's almost in the top 1000. My favorite quiz is my third highest rated, the one that summarizes Shakespeare quizzes in four words, so that's very nice.
