HEXAM is a fast, secure and modern quiz and exam plugin for WordPress. Build engaging quizzes, graded exams, knowledge checks, surveys and online assessments in minutes — then drop them into any page or post with a block or shortcode. Whether you run an e-learning site, a membership community, a school or a corporate training portal, HEXAM gives you a professional quiz experience with zero configuration headaches.
Version 2.0 is a complete, ground-up rewrite: a beautiful mobile-friendly frontend, a drag-and-drop question builder, real question types, scheduling, enrolment control, live scoring and per-quiz statistics — all following current WordPress security and coding best practices.
Why choose HEXAM?
- Modern quiz UI/UX — clean, responsive, accessible quizzes that look great on any device and adapt to light or dark mode.
- Drag-and-drop quiz builder — reorder questions by dragging, add or remove answers instantly, no page reloads.
- Real question types — single choice (radio), multiple choice (checkboxes) and open text answers.
- Two display modes — show every question in one list, or present them one-by-one as slides with a progress bar.
- Scheduling — set a start date (with a friendly “not started yet” notice) and a deadline for each quiz.
- Enrolment control — make a quiz public, restrict it to specific user roles, or limit it to named individual users.
- Automatic scoring — instant grading with an optional passing percentage, pass/fail messaging and a score meter.
- Negative marking (penalty for wrong answers) — optionally deduct a configurable percentage of a question’s points for each wrong answer (default 25%), just like real certification and competitive exams. Unanswered questions are never penalised, so guessing carries a genuine risk.
- Statistics dashboard — attempts, average score, best score, pass counts and every individual submission per quiz.
- Images in questions & answers — insert pictures straight from the WordPress media library into any question or answer option, with a live preview while you build.
- Gutenberg block + shortcode — insert any quiz with the “Hexam Quiz” block or the classic
[hexam id=1]shortcode. - CSV import with column mapping — bulk-create quizzes from a spreadsheet and map your own column names.
- Fully translatable (i18n) — every string is translation-ready, and every on-screen message is customisable per quiz.
- Secure by design — nonces, capability checks, prepared statements, and full input sanitisation / output escaping throughout.
- Safe upgrades — existing 1.x installs are automatically migrated to the new database structure on activation.
Perfect for
- Online courses and e-learning (LMS-style knowledge checks)
- Schools, teachers and students
- Employee training and onboarding assessments
- Membership sites and communities
- Lead-generation quizzes and marketing
- Certification and practice exams

常見問題集
-
How do I add a quiz to a page?
-
Use the “Hexam Quiz” block in the editor and pick your quiz, or paste the shortcode
[hexam id=1]where1is the quiz ID shown in the quiz list. -
What question types are supported?
-
Single choice (one correct answer), multiple choice (several correct answers) and open text answers that are graded against accepted values.
-
Can I restrict who takes a quiz?
-
Yes. Each quiz can be public, limited to chosen user roles, or restricted to specific users.
-
Can I schedule a quiz?
-
Yes. Set an optional start date and deadline. Before the start date visitors see a “not started” notice; after the deadline the quiz is closed.
-
Does HEXAM support negative marking?
-
Yes. Enable “negative marking” on any quiz to deduct a configurable percentage of a question’s points (default 25%) for each wrong answer — ideal for certification, entrance and competitive exams where guessing should be discouraged. Unanswered questions are never penalised, and multiple-choice questions can be graded as all-or-nothing or with partial credit.
-
Will my old HEXAM 1.x quizzes still work?
-
Yes. On activation, your existing quizzes, questions and results are automatically migrated to the new structure, and the legacy
[hexam id=1 hexam]shortcode keeps working. -
Can I bulk import questions?
-
Yes. Use Hexam Import CSV, map your columns, and a draft quiz is created for review.
-
Is my data removed when I delete the plugin?
-
Only if you opt in under Hexam Settings. By default your quizzes are preserved in case you reinstall.
