I recently (December 18, 2010) got my first quiz accepted and online. However, I'm looking at it after 36 (at last check) and noticed that most of the questions telling me about 50% of the takers are getting correct, but I am a little worried about three of my questions because they are a bit too low (IMO). They are as followed:

QUESTION 1 @ 17%
QUESTION 5 @ 33%
QUESTION 8 @ 33%

Can somebody please tell me if I am right to be worried about these questions, or am I just dealing with 1st quiz nervousness?

36 plays is not really a large enough sample to worry about. There are many players who will play ALL new quizzes, no matter what the topic, and they will skew the averages a bit.

Also, there is nothing wrong with having tough questions. Not many of my quizzes are rated Easy, and players seem to like them.

Leave it a couple of months, and then if you are still concerned, send a PM to the Editor.

Okay, I'll let it sit as is for a month or two and then look at it later.

Your quiz is in a niche video game category, and it's likely that some of the players who completed your quiz are not necessarily familiar with the topic. As time goes by, people looking specifically for 'Sonic' games will come across the quiz and likely get better scores to balance this out. Rest assured this will happen. smile

We highly discourage against replacing questions in a quiz already placed online unless it's for a very good reason. Changing the questions will result in even more confusion- your %s and ratings can't be reset, so your quiz will always be skewed by the original question set.
