How to make a Google Forms quiz public for candidates

To make your Google Forms quiz public and accessible to anyone, including candidates outside your organization or domain, you’ll need to adjust the sharing settings of the quiz. Here’s how you can do it:

1. Access Your Quiz:

• Open Google Forms.
• Find and click on the quiz you wish to make public.

2. Go to the Share Settings:

• Click the ‘Send’ button in the upper right corner of your screen.

3. Get the Shareable Link:

• In the Send Form popup, click on the link icon.

4. Adjust Link Permissions:

• Below the generated link, there’s an option that says “Restrict to [your domain] users.” If this box is checked, only people within your organization or domain will be able to access the quiz.
• Uncheck this box to make the quiz accessible to anyone with the link, regardless of their domain.
• After unchecking, the description will change to “Anyone with the link can respond.”

5. Copy and Share the Link:

• Click on the ‘Copy’ button to copy the generated link to your clipboard.
• Share this link with your candidates or whoever you want to access the quiz.

6. Additional Sharing Options:

• For extra visibility, you can also share the quiz via email or social media directly from the same ‘Send’ popup.
• If you have a website or a platform where candidates visit, you can also embed the quiz by using the “< >” embed option in the Send popup. This will give you an embed code to place on your website.

7. Receiving Responses:

• As candidates complete your quiz, you can view their responses by navigating to the “Responses” tab in your quiz editor.

By following these steps, you ensure that your Google Forms quiz is publicly accessible, allowing candidates or anyone with the link to participate.
