Quiz Experience

Taking Quizzes

After reading a lesson, learners take a quick challenge to test their understanding. Quizzes are fun, interactive, and provide immediate feedback.

Starting a Quiz

From the lesson page, learners tap the “Let’s Go!” button:

// From lesson-page.tsx:48-50
const handleStartQuiz = () => {
  navigation.navigate('QuizPage', { lessonId });
};

Pre-Quiz Screen

Before diving in, learners see a friendly preparation screen:

// From quiz-page.tsx:294-323
{!quizStarted && !quizSubmitted && (
  <ScrollView contentContainerStyle={styles.scrollContent}>
    <View style={styles.preQuizCard}>
      <Text style={styles.preQuizTitle}>
        Ready for your challenge?
      </Text>
      <Text style={styles.preQuizSub}>
        {displayQuestions.length} question{displayQuestions.length !== 1 ? 's' : ''} · take your time!
      </Text>

      {dolAllowedByParent && (
        <View style={styles.dolCard}>
          <View style={styles.dolHeader}>
            <Zap size={20} color="#FF8F00" />
            <Text style={styles.dolTitle}>Double-or-Nothing Active</Text>
          </View>
          <Text style={styles.dolDesc}>
            Every 3rd question you can go for double points — or skip and play it safe!
          </Text>
        </View>
      )}

      <TouchableOpacity style={styles.startBtn} onPress={handleStartQuiz}>
        <Text style={styles.startBtnText}>Start Quiz</Text>
      </TouchableOpacity>
    </View>
  </ScrollView>
)}

The pre-quiz screen shows:

Question Types

Sunschool supports multiple question formats to keep quizzes engaging:

1. Multiple Choice

Most common question type with 4 answer options:

// From schema.ts:116-129
questions: {
  text: string;
  options: string[];
  correctIndex: number;
  explanation: string;
  difficulty?: "easy" | "medium" | "hard";
  type?: "multiple_choice" | "true_false" | "image_based" | "sequence";
  imageId?: string;
  imageSvg?: string;
}[];

2. Image-Based Questions

Questions that reference lesson images:

// From enhanced-lesson-service.ts:506-508
const imageHint = enhancedLesson.images && enhancedLesson.images.length > 0
  ? `\n\nAvailable lesson image IDs you can reference: ${enhancedLesson.images.map(i => `"${i.id}" (${i.description})`).join(', ')}`
  : '';

Image-based questions include an imageId field that references one of the lesson’s SVG illustrations.

3. True/False

Simple binary questions for quick comprehension checks.

4. Sequence

Questions requiring learners to order steps or events correctly.

Question Display

// From quiz-page.tsx:449-513
{displayQuestions.map((question, index) => {
  const isDoubleEligible = dolAllowedByParent && (index + 1) % 3 === 0;
  const hasDecided = doubleDecided.has(index);
  const isDoubled = doubleQuestions.has(index);

  return (
    <View key={index} style={styles.questionContainer}>
      <Text style={styles.questionNumber}>
        Question {index + 1} of {displayQuestions.length}
        {isDoubled && ' — 2x'}
      </Text>

      {/* Double-or-nothing prompt on every 3rd question */}
      {isDoubleEligible && !hasDecided && (
        <View style={styles.dolPrompt}>
          // ... double-or-nothing UI
        </View>
      )}

      <QuizComponent
        question={question}
        selectedAnswer={selectedAnswers[index]}
        showAnswers={false}
        onSelectAnswer={(answerIndex) => handleSelectAnswer(index, answerIndex)}
      />
    </View>
  );
})}

Immediate Feedback

After submitting, learners see instant results with detailed review.

Score Card

// From quiz-page.tsx:338-365

      <CheckCircle size={56} color={theme.colors.success} />
    ) : (
      <AlertCircle size={56} color={theme.colors.warning} />
    )}
  </View>
  <Text style={styles.scoreTitle}>

Scoring and Progress

Point Calculation

Base points are earned for correct answers:

// Points awarded based on correctness
const basePointsPerQuestion = 1;
const pointsAwarded = correctCount * basePointsPerQuestion;

Double-or-Nothing Mode

If enabled by parent, learners can risk points for bigger rewards:

// From quiz-page.tsx:462-492
{isDoubleEligible && !hasDecided && (
  <View style={styles.dolPrompt}>
    <View style={styles.dolPromptHeader}>
      <Zap size={18} color="#FF8F00" />
      <Text style={styles.dolPromptTitle}>Double or Nothing?</Text>
    </View>
    <Text style={styles.dolPromptDesc}>
      Get 2x points if correct, lose 1 point if wrong.
    </Text>
    <View style={styles.dolPromptButtons}>
      <TouchableOpacity
        style={styles.dolGoBtn}
        onPress={() => {
          setDoubleQuestions(prev => new Set(prev).add(index));
          setDoubleDecided(prev => new Set(prev).add(index));
        }}
      >
        <Zap size={14} color="#fff" />
        <Text style={styles.dolGoBtnText}>Go for it!</Text>
      </TouchableOpacity>
      <TouchableOpacity
        style={styles.dolSkipBtn}
        onPress={() => {
          setDoubleDecided(prev => new Set(prev).add(index));
        }}
      >
        <Text style={styles.dolSkipBtnText}>Play it safe</Text>
      </TouchableOpacity>
    </View>
  </View>
)}

Double-or-Nothing Rules:

Every 3rd question offers the choice
Correct answer: 2x points
Wrong answer: -1 point from balance
Must be enabled by parent in settings

Answer Review

After seeing their score, learners can review all questions:

// From quiz-page.tsx:413-433
<View style={styles.reviewSection}>
  <Text style={styles.reviewTitle}>Let's Review</Text>
  {displayQuestions.map((question, index) => {
    const wasDoubled = quizScore?.doubleQuestionIndices?.includes(index);
    return (
      <View key={index}>
        {wasDoubled && (
          <View style={styles.dolBadge}>
            <Text style={styles.dolBadgeText}>
              <Zap size={12} color="#FF8F00" /> Double-or-Nothing
            </Text>
          </View>
        )}

          question={question}
          selectedAnswer={selectedAnswers[index]}
          showAnswers={true}
          onSelectAnswer={() => {}}
        />
      </View>
    );
  })}
</View>

Point Delegation

After earning points, learners can save them toward reward goals:

// From quiz-page.tsx:241-279
<Modal visible={showDelegation && !!quizScore && rewardGoals.length > 0}>
  <View style={styles.delegationOverlay}>
    <View style={styles.delegationBox}>
      <Text style={styles.delegationTitle}>
        🎉 You earned {quizScore?.pointsAwarded ?? 0} pts!
      </Text>
      <Text style={styles.delegationSub}>
        Save them toward a reward goal:
      </Text>
      <ScrollView>
        {rewardGoals.filter((g: any) => g.isActive).map((g: any) => (
          <TouchableOpacity 
            key={g.id} 
            style={styles.delegationGoalRow}
            onPress={() => { 
              saveDelegation(g.id, quizScore!.pointsAwarded); 
              setShowDelegation(false); 
            }}
          >
            {/* Goal card with progress */}
          </TouchableOpacity>
        ))}
      </ScrollView>
      <TouchableOpacity 
        style={styles.skipDelegation}
        onPress={() => setShowDelegation(false)}
      >
        <Text>Keep in Balance</Text>
      </TouchableOpacity>
    </View>
  </View>
</Modal>

If learners have active reward goals, they see a modal after the quiz prompting them to delegate points. They can choose a goal or keep points in their general balance.

Progress Tracking

Quiz completion updates multiple systems:

// From quiz-page.tsx:111-127
onSuccess: (data) => {
  setQuizSubmitted(true);
  setQuizScore(data);
  if (data.score >= 70) setShowConfetti(true);
  if (data.newAchievements && data.newAchievements.length > 0) {
    setTimeout(() => setShowAchievements(true), 1500);
  }
  queryClient.invalidateQueries({ queryKey: ['/api/lessons/active'] });
  queryClient.invalidateQueries({ queryKey: ['/api/achievements'] });
  queryClient.invalidateQueries({ queryKey: ['/api/lessons/history'] });
  queryClient.invalidateQueries({ queryKey: ['/api/points'] });
  queryClient.invalidateQueries({ queryKey: ['/api/points/balance'] });
  queryClient.invalidateQueries({ queryKey: ['/api/mastery'] });
  if (lesson?.learnerId) {
    queryClient.invalidateQueries({ queryKey: ['/api/learner-profile', lesson.learnerId] });
  }
}
