Adding an MCQ Quiz with Pagination in Blogger

Blogger does not support plugins like WordPress, so you’ll need to use HTML, CSS, and JavaScript to create an interactive quiz.

Steps to Add an MCQ Quiz in Blogger

Step 1: Open Blogger HTML Editor

Log in to Blogger Dashboard
Go to Pages → New Page
Switch to HTML Mode

Step 2: Add the MCQ Quiz Code

Copy and paste the following code into the Blogger page editor:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8">
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
    <title>MCQ Quiz</title>
    <style>
        body { font-family: Arial, sans-serif; text-align: center; }
        .quiz-container { max-width: 600px; margin: auto; }
        .question { font-size: 18px; margin-bottom: 10px; }
        .options { list-style: none; padding: 0; }
        .options li { margin: 5px 0; }
        .pagination { margin-top: 20px; }
    </style>
</head>
<body>

<div class="quiz-container">
    <div id="quiz"></div>
    <div class="pagination">
        <button id="prevBtn" onclick="prevQuestion()">Previous</button>
        <button id="nextBtn" onclick="nextQuestion()">Next</button>
    </div>
</div>

<script>
const questions = [
    { question: "What is the capital of France?", options: ["Berlin", "Madrid", "Paris", "Rome"], answer: 2 },
    { question: "Which is the largest ocean?", options: ["Atlantic", "Indian", "Pacific", "Arctic"], answer: 2 },
    { question: "What is 5 + 3?", options: ["5", "8", "10", "12"], answer: 1 }
];

let currentQuestion = 0;

function loadQuestion() {
    const quizDiv = document.getElementById("quiz");
    quizDiv.innerHTML = `
        <div class="question">${questions[currentQuestion].question}</div>
        <ul class="options">
            ${questions[currentQuestion].options.map((opt, i) => `<li><input type="radio" name="answer" value="${i}"> ${opt}</li>`).join("")}
        </ul>
    `;
}

function nextQuestion() {
    if (currentQuestion < questions.length - 1) {
        currentQuestion++;
        loadQuestion();
    }
}

function prevQuestion() {
    if (currentQuestion > 0) {
        currentQuestion--;
        loadQuestion();
    }
}

document.addEventListener("DOMContentLoaded", loadQuestion);
</script>
