True/false

A question that requires students to choose between true or false.

Preview of the True/false question type

The true / false question type presents a statement, and the student decides whether it is true or false. It's the quickest question format there is — ideal for rapid checks, but best used deliberately: with only two options, a blind guess is right half the time.

When to use it

  • Quick checks of common misconceptions: "The Great Wall of China is visible from space."

  • Warm-up questions at the start of a test or topic.

  • Larger banks of short questions where speed matters more than depth.

Consider pairing true/false questions with a follow-up open question ("explain why") when you want to rule out lucky guesses.

How it works for students

The statement is shown with True and False buttons; the student picks one. Answering takes well under a minute.

Grading

Scored automatically against the configured correct answer. Given the 50% guess rate, a single point per question is the sensible choice.
