PressPrimer Quiz – AI Quiz Maker, Exam Builder & LMS Assessment Plugin for WordPress Plugin Directory

PressPrimer Quiz is a professional assessment plugin that bridges the gap between basic quiz plugins and expensive enterprise platforms. Create beautiful, engaging quizzes with AI-powered question generation, deep LMS integration, and the reporting features serious educators need—all without monthly fees or per-student pricing.

This isn’t a crippled trial. The free version is genuinely useful forever with unlimited quizzes, unlimited questions, AI generation, LMS integration, and six professional themes. We earn upgrades by delivering specialized features, not by hobbling what you get for free.

Why Choose PressPrimer Quiz? Most WordPress quiz plugins are built for BuzzFeed-style trivia and basic scoring, not serious assessment. Quiz features in LMS plugins are often afterthoughts with limited reporting, basic features, and dated interfaces. Enterprise quiz platforms can cost thousands per year.

PressPrimer Quiz delivers enterprise-grade assessment and includes all of the critical features you get in premium plugins at no cost:

AI-Powered Question Generation – Use your own OpenAI or Anthropic (Claude) API key to generate questions from text, PDFs, or Word documents. No credits to buy, no middleware fees, no limits.

Deep LMS Integration – Native integration with popular WordPress LMS plugins, including LearnDash, Tutor LMS, LifterLMS, and LearnPress. Quizzes appear in lessons or topics, trigger completions, and respect enrollment—automatically.

Modern, Beautiful Design – Six professional themes.

Real Reporting – Score distribution, category breakdowns, time analytics, confidence reporting, and attempt history.

Built to Prevent Cheating – Server-side answer validation means correct answers are never exposed in page source. You can also limit attempts and force delays between retries.

Server-Side Resume That Works Everywhere – Every answer is instantly saved to the server. Students can pause on their phone and resume on their laptop without losing a single response.

Designed for Real Assessment – Four multiple-answer scoring modes for every context and institutional grading system. Embed images directly in question stems and answer options with a drag-and-drop uploader.

Free Features That Cost Money Elsewhere PressPrimer Quiz includes features in the free version that competitors charge for:

Front-end dashboard – Add a “My Results” area to any page with the [pressprimer_quiz_dashboard] shortcode or block

Math & equation rendering – Write LaTeX in questions and answers, rendered with bundled KaTeX

Quiz templates – Save and reuse quiz settings

Question banks – Organize and reuse questions across quizzes

Dynamic quiz generation – Pull random questions based on category, difficulty, and question bank

Guest support – Optional GDPR-compliant email capture for non-registered users

Four multiple-answer scoring modes – Right Minus Wrong, Proportional, Partial No Wrong, and All-or-Nothing

Per-question and per-answer feedback – Explain correct and incorrect answers, with score-banded result messages and optional confidence ratings

Images in questions and answers – Drag-and-drop uploader with a click-to-zoom lightbox on the front end

Question pool – Limit the number of questions shown per attempt so each student gets a random subset from the full list

Random distractor subsets – Maximum Answers Per Question shows each student a random subset of distractors while always showing every correct answer

Practice Mode – Mark any quiz as practice for unlimited, untimed runs with immediate feedback that never count toward scores or pass rates

Question exposure control – “Prefer Unseen Questions” keeps dynamic and pooled quiz retakes fresh by choosing questions a student hasn’t seen first

Confidence Check – Three-level confidence ratings per answer, with a results summary that flags confident-but-wrong and unsure-but-correct questions

Customizable Appearance – Adjust fonts, colors, spacing, and other visual styles; includes Condensed Mode for streamlined quizzes with reduced vertical spacing

Per-quiz display settings – Choose display options (description, score, pass/fail status, category breakdown, retake button, and more) for every quiz

Results emails – Customizable email templates with a per-question answer recap token and your own footer text

Uncanny Automator integration – Triggers for quiz completion, pass, fail, and guest email capture with marketing consent, with a comprehensive set of tokens for use in automations

Focused on What Matters for Learning PressPrimer Quiz concentrates on multiple choice, multiple answer, and true/false question types to deliver the best possible experience for learning and performance assessment. By focusing on these core formats, we deliver enterprise-quality features, including massive question banks, anti-cheat protection, detailed analytics, and bulletproof reliability.

Built-in Integrations PressPrimer Quiz automatically detects and integrates with popular WordPress LMS plugins:

LearnDash: Attach quizzes to courses, lessons or topics. Passing a quiz can automatically mark the lesson or topic complete. Works with enrolled students and Group Leader roles.

Tutor LMS: Attach quizzes to lessons via the course builder. Passing a quiz can auto-complete the lesson and course. Works with public courses, enrolled students, and instructor roles.

LifterLMS: Attach quizzes to lessons via meta box. Passing a quiz can auto-complete the lesson and course. Works with open/free courses, enrolled students, and instructor roles.

LearnPress: Attach quizzes to lessons via the lesson settings panel. Link passing a quiz to lesson and course completion. Works with open courses, enrolled students, and instructor roles.

Uncanny Automator: Four triggers available: User completes a quiz, user passes a quiz, user fails a quiz, and a guest email is captured with marketing consent. The guest-capture trigger runs in “Everyone” recipes (available in both free Uncanny Automator and Automator Pro) and only fires when the guest explicitly opts in to marketing, so consented leads can be routed to any Automator-connected tool.

All integrations are bundled in the free version.

Knowledge Base

Source Code & Development The full uncompressed source code for all JavaScript and CSS files is available in our public GitHub repository:

GitHub Repository

The /src directory contains all unminified source files. The plugin uses webpack for building production assets. To rebuild from source:

Clone the repository

Run npm install to install dependencies

Run npm run build to compile assets

Third-Party Libraries Math notation rendering uses KaTeX (version 0.17.0, MIT license), bundled locally in assets/vendor/katex/ — there are no external or CDN requests. The official minified distribution is included; it is obtained via npm install [email protected] and the files are copied from the package’s dist/ directory (katex.min.js, katex.min.css, contrib/auto-render.min.js, and the woff2/woff fonts). The complete, unminified source for this exact version is available in the KaTeX GitHub repository at the v0.17.0 release, and in the [email protected] npm package’s dist/ directory, which ships the unminified katex.js and katex.css alongside the minified files bundled here. KaTeX is loaded only when the Math Notation setting is enabled and a quiz actually contains math notation.
