Quiz
A quiz is a set of questions you build with the VR Quiz tool in SimLab Composer — multiple-choice, object-picking or star-rating questions, with an optional time limit. The node on this page shows a quiz to the trainee during the experience. To react to what the trainee answers, use the quiz events, documented on the Quiz \ Events page.
What's on this page
- Activate Quiz — Opens a quiz in front of the trainee so they can start answering it.
Activate Quiz
Opens a quiz in front of the trainee so they can start answering it.
What it does
A quiz is a quiz node you build in your scene with the VR Quiz tool. It holds the quiz title, its questions and their answers, and it stays hidden until you activate it. When this node runs, the quiz panel appears where you placed the quiz node, on its start page with the quiz title and a Start button. The questions begin when the trainee presses Start. From there they move through the questions with Next and Previous and finish by pressing Submit on the final page, after which the quiz closes on its own.
Quizzes are for one person at a time. In a shared collaboration session this node has no effect and the quiz stays hidden. The node doesn’t change the quiz’s questions or answers. To react to the trainee’s answers and final mark, use the quiz events: Quiz Pre Question, Quiz Post Question and Quiz Submitted.

Tips
- Place the quiz node where the trainee can see it comfortably. The quiz panel appears at the quiz node’s position.
- To pass or fail the trainee, add a Quiz Submitted event for the same quiz. It fires when the trainee submits and gives you their final mark.
