Have any of the regulars here made quiz? and if so, how long did it take to get it online? I just created one, and put it up for analysis, and was just curious as to the time it took to get posted... thanks.

Jellee - it varies from category to category, season to season. If you go on the main members page, you will see something that says "Queue Status" - that is an approximation of how long it will take your quiz to be edited.

Jellee,

There are a lot of variables involved in getting a quiz on line quickly.

Firstly, the subject. A quiz on, say, The Simpsons will probably wait in line for longer than, for example, a quiz on Origami. This is because of the sheer weight of numbers in these categories. Movies, TV, Movies are very high-traffic areas and obviously will have a longer editing queue.

Second is the quality of the quiz. A well-written, original quiz that requires minimal, or no editing will get through the editing process faster. A good start is to read the 'Quiz Creation Guidelines' (QCG's)- these 'rules' will help you write a good quiz. Check your spelling, make sure your facts are correct, beware of date-dependent questions, add some Interesting Info to your questions, etc, etc. Also, play some quizzes in your chosen field, so that you get a 'feel' for what makes a good quiz.

Thirdly, do NOT take an editor's rejection personally- they are trying to maintain the extremely high reputation that our site enjoys. If you work 'with' your editor, and co-operate with his/her instructions, your quiz will get online faster. If you do not understand an editor's notes, please just ask them to elaborate.

Finally, there are a selection of quizzes on writing quizzes in the General category; try them out and you will become aware of the faults that an editor will be looking for.

i figured as much..i did read most of the guidelines, and as i suspected, i messed up...and was explained what i was to do...which is cool...nothing was taken personal . i'm hoping i'm almost done, i'm gonna go back and check it over and make a few 'tuneups'. as for doing quizzes in my chosen catagory..i think i've done half of them

Out of interest Jellee, what is the quiz about? (Just being nosy...)
