Thanks for this - it is incredibly useful. One question from me (for now). Can you replace the same word more than once? I've had a daft idea for a quiz but it depends on repetition to work. Reply #1. Mar 12 24, 12:31 PM |

Thank you for providing these truly valuable guidelines. I have to admit that Fun Fill-It is not my favourite format, because it looks a bit too much like work - being a format that is very frequently used in language teaching and testing. On the other hand, I find it much more versatile (and likely user-friendly) than formats such as Order and Label. In the few FFI quizzes I have written so far, I have used 20 blanks, but in my next effort I will try to keep them to 15, and see how it works. Reply #2. Mar 12 24, 12:42 PM |

snowman, that is something we also don't know - nobody has been brave enough to test it! We could plan someone to write a quiz with duplicates (which we know work fine in Match format), and be prepared to make a change if the correction notes start to arrive, but not if the quiz really depends on it. You may have to hold off on that one until the answer can be given with confidence. Reply #3. Mar 12 24, 2:23 PM |

Thanks l_t. That's fair enough. I think my idea would be too extreme to be a test case. I've got plenty of others quizzes to get on with so I'll bide my time. Reply #4. Mar 12 24, 2:37 PM |

Update - Terry says the template just looks for the correct text, not for a specific instance of it, so duplicate answers should not be any problem. I am planning to write a couple of FFI quizzes in the near future (that being the only template not yet used in two categories), so I will make a point of testing it out. That won't be for a week or two, though. Reply #5. Mar 12 24, 2:40 PM |

To answer Snowman's question, I did take at least one quiz where two words were repeated twice. The quiz was based on a very famous speech, so the repetition was inevitable. Reply #6. Mar 12 24, 3:10 PM |
