Get All Answers on a Google Form Quiz (2026)
To get all answers on a Google Form quiz, open the form in edit mode, click the Responses tab at the top, then use the Summary, Question, and Individual views to see every response. You can also export all answers to a Google Sheet with one click. Updated June 2026.
Who can see Google Form quiz answers
Only the form owner and anyone the owner has shared the form with (as an editor) can view all submitted answers. Respondents see only what the creator chooses to release - they cannot access the full answer set on their own.
If you are a quiz taker trying to see the correct answers before or during the quiz, those answers are only visible if the creator has turned on answer-release settings. There is no legitimate workaround that bypasses this, and attempting to access answers without permission is an academic integrity violation.
The rest of this guide is for quiz creators who want to review, analyze, and export the responses they have already collected.
Step 1: Open your Google Form in edit mode
Go to forms.google.com and click the quiz form you want to review. Make sure you are signed into the Google account that owns the form. You will land on the Questions tab by default.
Step 2: Click the Responses tab
At the top of the form editor, click Responses. A count badge shows how many submissions you have received so far. If the count is zero, no one has submitted the quiz yet.
Step 3: Choose your view
Google Forms gives you three ways to read the data:
- Summary - Charts and graphs for every question. Multiple-choice questions show as pie charts; scale questions show as bar charts; open text answers appear in scrollable cards. Use this for a quick class-wide snapshot.
- Question - See all answers to one question at a time. Respondent names are hidden by default, which makes this the best view for fair, bias-reduced grading.
- Individual - Scroll through each person's complete submission one at a time. Useful when you need to review a single student's full set of answers.
Step 4: Export all answers to Google Sheets (optional)
To analyze the full dataset, click the green Sheets icon in the top-right corner of the Responses tab. Google Forms creates a linked spreadsheet where every row is one submission and every column is one question. You can then sort, filter, and calculate averages directly in the sheet.
To find the export button: Responses tab - top-right corner - click the Sheets icon (looks like a small spreadsheet).
Step 5: Release answer keys to respondents (optional)
If you want quiz takers to see the correct answers after they submit, go to Settings - Quizzes, then scroll to "Respondent settings." Turn on "See missed questions" and optionally "See correct answers" and "See point values." You can set release to happen immediately after submission or only after manual review.
How to lock down your quiz so answers stay private
If you are worried about answer leakage, here are the built-in controls:
- Shuffle question order - reduces answer-sharing between respondents
- Shuffle answer option order - makes shared screenshots less useful
- One response per person - requires a Google account to submit, which logs who answered
- Collect email addresses - ties each response to an identity
- Limit to one response - prevents multiple attempts
- Release answers only after manual review - keeps correct answers hidden until you are ready
Build a new quiz from a document in one click
If you spend time creating quiz questions in Google Docs, Word, or PDF and then retyping them into Google Forms, Formswrite cuts that step out entirely. Paste your document link, click Convert, and Formswrite builds a ready Google Form with question types and answer keys already in place - no add-on to install, no manual copy-paste.
Formswrite also exports to Kahoot, Quizizz, Moodle, Canvas, Blooket, Gimkit, and 40+ other platforms from the same document. You can start for free and upgrade when you need platform exports.

FAQ: getting all answers on a Google Form quiz
How do I see all answers on a Google Form quiz I created?
Open your form at forms.google.com, click the Responses tab, and choose Summary, Question, or Individual view to see all submitted answers. Click the green Sheets icon to export everything to a spreadsheet.
Can a student or quiz taker see all the answers on a Google Form?
Only if the form creator has turned on answer release in Settings - Quizzes - Respondent settings. Without that setting enabled, respondents cannot view the correct answers. There is no legitimate way to access answers that the creator has not released.
How do I download all Google Form quiz responses?
Click the Responses tab, then click the green Google Sheets icon in the top-right corner. Google Forms creates a linked spreadsheet with every submission as a row. You can then download that sheet as a CSV or Excel file from Google Sheets under File - Download.
Can I see who answered what on a Google Form quiz?
Yes. Click the Responses tab and select the Individual view to see each respondent's full set of answers. If you collected email addresses or required a Google sign-in, the respondent's identity appears alongside their answers.
How do I release quiz answers to students after submission?
Go to Settings - Quizzes in the form editor. Under Respondent settings, enable "See missed questions," "See correct answers," and "See point values." Set the release timing to immediately after submission or after manual review.
Why do I see 0 responses on my Google Form quiz?
Either no one has submitted the form yet, or you may be viewing a different form account. Check that you are signed into the correct Google account that owns the form. Also confirm the form link you shared is the responder URL, not the edit URL.
Can I view Google Form quiz answers on mobile?
Yes. Open forms.google.com in a mobile browser, tap your quiz, and tap the Responses tab. The Summary, Question, and Individual views all work on mobile, though a larger screen makes reviewing individual answers easier.
How do I stop respondents from seeing the answer key on a Google Form quiz?
In form Settings - Quizzes - Respondent settings, turn off "See correct answers." With that option disabled, quiz takers only see their score, not which answers were correct or incorrect.
Is there a faster way to build a Google Form quiz from existing questions?
Yes. If your questions are already in a Google Doc, Word file, or PDF, paste the link into Formswrite at formswrite.com. It converts the document into a Google Form with answer keys in one click - no manual retyping needed.
