FAQ's 

What Can I Use Microsoft Forms For?

• Microsoft Forms is a simple, lightweight app that lets you easily create surveys, quizzes, and polls. It can be used to create quizzes, collect feedback, or plan class and staff activities.

What Is the Limit on the Number of Forms That Can Be Created and the Number of Responses a Form Can Receive?

• You can create up to 200 forms and each form can receive up to 50,000 responses.
• If you require more responses, we recommend exporting existing responses to an Excel workbook and then clearing these from your survey or quiz. This will enable you to collect more responses once cleared.

What Is the Difference Between Quizzes and Forms?

• Quizzes allow you to add an extra layer of correct answers to each question in the form, and a number of points to be kept in a tally as your users fill in their answers.  Several answers can be included in each question and Microsoft Forms will use these as the basis for scoring. 
• In comparison, Forms do not allow score keeping but request either Choice, Text, Rating Date inputs using a date picker or a ranking.
