Learn how public and private teacher quizzes work, how access code protects quiz access, and what settings affect learner attempts.
Teachers can control how learners access their quizzes on Quiz Pathshala.
A teacher-created quiz can be public or private depending on whether an access code is required for that quiz.
Teacher-created quizzes can appear in the Educators section of Quiz Pathshala.
The Educators page may show a list of educators or teachers who have created their educator profile.
An educator profile may show details such as:
Educator name or profile
Categories
Quizzes
Questions or content-related counts, where available
When learners open an educator profile, they may see categories and subcategories created by that educator.
Inside those categories or subcategories, learners may see the educator’s quizzes.
These quizzes can be public or private.
If a quiz has an access code, it is treated as a private quiz.
If a quiz does not have an access code, it is treated as a public quiz.
A public teacher quiz is a quiz that does not require an access code.
If a quiz is public, logged-in learners can attempt it without entering an access code, as long as other access rules are satisfied.
You want many learners to attempt the quiz
You want to share practice quizzes openly
You want learners to access your quiz from your educator profile
You do not want to restrict access with a code
Learners do not need to pay Quiz Pathshala separately to attempt teacher-created public quizzes.
The teacher or educator uses an educator plan to create and manage quizzes.
Learner access still depends on quiz settings, teacher plan status, learner limit, schedule, attempt limit, and platform rules.
A private teacher quiz is a quiz that requires an access code.
Private quizzes can still be visible on the educator profile page, but learners need the correct access code to attempt them.
On the quiz listing, a quiz that requires an access code may show an access code badge or access code requirement.
If a quiz is private, learners must enter the correct access code given by the teacher.
Without the correct access code, learners will not be able to attempt the private quiz.
Access code helps teachers control who can attempt their quizzes.
This is especially useful when the teacher wants only selected learners, batches, coaching learners, or institute learners to attempt the quiz.
Educator plans may have a monthly learner limit.
If a teacher keeps every quiz public, many random learners may attempt the quizzes and the monthly learner limit may become full quickly.
When the learner limit becomes full, new learners may not be able to attempt the teacher’s quizzes until:
The monthly learner limit resets
The teacher upgrades the plan
A higher learner limit becomes available
Using an access code helps teachers share quizzes only with intended learners and avoid wasting learner limit on unwanted attempts.
Private quiz is useful when you want to share the quiz with selected learners only.
Selected learners
Coaching batches
Class groups
Test groups
Institute learners
Internal practice
Restricted quiz access
Quizzes shared only with learners who have the access code
To attempt a public teacher quiz, learners usually need to:
Login to Quiz Pathshala
Use Learner role
Open the Educators page
Open the educator profile
Select a quiz that does not show an access code requirement
Start the quiz if it is available
Access still depends on quiz availability and rules.
To attempt a private teacher quiz, learners usually need to:
Login to Quiz Pathshala
Use Learner role
Open the Educators page
Open the educator profile
Select a quiz that shows an access code requirement
Enter the correct access code, if asked
Start the quiz if access is allowed
The access code is provided by the teacher or educator.
Making a quiz public or private is not the only access setting.
Learner access also depends on other settings.
The quiz must be active.
If the main Activate Quiz setting is disabled, learners will not be able to access the quiz even if Standard Quiz or Practice Quiz is enabled.
If Standard Quiz is enabled, learners may be able to attempt the Standard Quiz option.
If Standard Quiz is disabled, the Standard Quiz option will not be shown or available to learners.
If Practice Quiz is enabled, learners may be able to attempt the Practice Quiz option.
If Practice Quiz is disabled, the Practice Quiz option will not be shown or available to learners.
If Live Quiz is enabled, the quiz follows live quiz rules.
Live Quiz may require start date, end date, and scheduled answer reveal settings.
A quiz may have start and end date settings.
If a start date and time is set, learners can attempt the quiz only after the quiz start time.
If an end date and time is set, learners may not be able to attempt the quiz after the quiz end time.
A teacher can set an attempt limit for a quiz.
If a learner has already reached the allowed attempt limit, the learner may not be able to attempt the quiz again.
If the attempt limit is blank, learners may be able to attempt the quiz unlimited times based on other quiz rules.
Educator plans may have a monthly learner limit.
If the teacher’s monthly learner limit is full, a new learner may not be able to attempt the teacher’s quizzes until the limit resets or the teacher upgrades the plan.
Learners already counted within the limit may continue attempting based on quiz settings.
Teacher-created quizzes depend on the teacher plan status.
If the teacher plan or trial is not active, teacher quizzes may be hidden from learners or unavailable for attempts.
To make quizzes available again, the teacher may need an active educator plan or active trial.
Yes. A teacher may edit quiz access settings later if the option is available.
You can make a quiz public by removing or disabling the access code.
You can make a quiz private by adding or enabling the access code.
Always review access settings before sharing the quiz with learners.

There is a technical or account-related issue
A public teacher quiz means the quiz does not require an access code.
A private teacher quiz means the quiz requires the correct access code from the teacher.
Teacher-created public and private quizzes can appear on the Educators page or educator profile.
However, attempting a quiz depends on access code, quiz status, schedule, attempt limit, teacher plan status, learner limit, and platform rules.
Learners do not need to pay Quiz Pathshala separately to attempt teacher-created quizzes.
