Quiz Audit
Optimize quiz funnels for maximum completion and conversion.
Process
Step 1: Analyze Current Question Flow
Map the Quiz:
- Total number of questions
- Question types (multiple choice, slider, text)
- Time to complete
- Current completion rate
- Drop-off by question
Step 2: Check First Question
First Question Rules (Jason K):
The first question is the MOST important. It must:
- Drive curiosity (not just qualify)
- Be easy to answer
- Create psychological buy-in
- NOT be "Are you male or female?" (boring, seen 1000x)
Good First Questions:
- "Do you drink coffee?" (curiosity: what does coffee have to do with this?)
- "Have you tried [common solution] before?" (validates their journey)
- Something unexpected that relates to the offer
Bad First Questions:
- Gender selection (no curiosity)
- Age brackets (feels like a form)
- Location (administrative feel)
Step 3: Evaluate Question Pacing
Rhythm Check: Questions should build psychological momentum.
Yes Rhythm Strategy: Design questions to get "yes" or positive responses:
- Q1: Yes → Q2: Yes → Q3: Yes → Q4: Yes
- NOT: Q1: Yes → Q2: No → Q3: No → Q4: ???
Question Reframing: | Bad (Creates "No") | Good (Creates "Yes/Sometimes") | |-------------------|-------------------------------| | "Do you have X problem?" | "Do you sometimes experience X?" | | "Have you failed at X?" | "Have you tried X before?" |
Length Rules:
- Keep questions SHORT
- If they take long to read, they won't complete
- Mobile users especially need brevity
Step 4: Identify Dropout Points
Analyze Drop-offs:
- Which question has highest abandonment?
- Why might people leave there?
- Is the question too personal? Too long? Confusing?
Common Dropout Causes:
- Question breaks the "yes" rhythm
- Question feels invasive
- Question is confusing
- Progress feels slow
- Fatigue from length
