I just tried to attack doing a quiz in Arabic and figured I was ready. When I made my choice to make my pick I was given three choices. I chose "Languages" and decided to write a quiz on the Arabic language. After I posted and made my choice, THEN, it posts back to me the rules and regulations that I have to follow and one being I need a good knowledge on the language, Arabic, which I don't. Question is, What are the other two choice in the AIA game if anyone remembers, so I can make the correct choice and not do a quiz for no apparent reason. I think one is "Quotations", but I am not 100% sure.

Any help would be appreciated.

I can't go back since I already made my choice, however, I can do a totally new quiz, I just need to know what my two other options are.

Once you have made that choice, the game may not accept one of the other options. You may well have to work out how to write a quiz in that category.

Future hint for the game - before making your choices, set up a template that you will use, in what looks like the category of choice, and check out the guidelines. That will let you get an idea if it is going to work for you. If not, change the template to be in one of the other options. Eventually, you will have to pick one, and use it. Then you can worry about little details such as a quiz title and subject details. smile

This idea also works well when you can't work out what the game is requiring of you - I remember some stages where I couldn't tell if it was some specific word needed in the title, or some specific category, or what - just changing that test template, and returning to the game after each change to see if it was accepting the template as potentially fulfilling the criteria, eventually got me there.

Just so you know if there are three options and you click one, you can't write a quiz for a different option, and then pass that stage. At least not without going to that actual stage, which I don't think is possible anywhere in the game.

If you just needed to write a quiz in the Languages subcat though, it doesn't have to be about Arabic. You can delete everything you have written so far and just write something in that template that does meet the standards and guidelines for that subcat.

Not at that stage of the game, anyways.
