Question 1

How do I edit a quiz after publishing it?

Accepted Answer

Go to your dashboard, click on the quiz card, and select 'Edit Quiz'. You can modify title, description, challenges, and settings. All challenges are collapsed by default - use 'Expand All' in the header to view them all.

Question 2

What challenge types are available?

Accepted Answer

There are 6 types: Text-Based Scenario (Free) with AI grading, Image-Based Scenario [Essential] with AI grading (students use the rich text editor with image upload), Video-Based Scenario [Pro] with AI grading, Multiple Choice/MCQ [Essential] with auto-grading, True/False [Essential] with auto-grading, and Match the Following [Essential] with auto-grading and drag-and-drop reordering in the editor. Use 'AI Assist' [Enterprise] on any challenge to auto-generate content from a topic.

Question 3

Can I use different AI models for different quizzes?

Accepted Answer

Yes! Each quiz can have its own AI model selection. AI grading applies to scenario-based challenges (Text, Image, Video). Essential tier includes Gemini 2.5 Flash / Flash Lite. Pro tier adds Gemini 2.5 Pro. GPT-4o is also available. Faster models are recommended for large classes.

Question 4

How does the repeat deduction work?

Accepted Answer

[Pro] When you enable repeat attempts, you set a deduction percentage (e.g., 10%). If a student's first attempt max was 100%, their second attempt max is 90%, third is 80%, and so on. The student's actual score is calculated based on the remaining maximum.

Question 5

Why isn't my quiz code working for students?

Accepted Answer

Make sure the quiz is set to 'Active' status (green toggle). For live sessions, ensure you've clicked 'Start Session'. Codes are case-insensitive but must match exactly — students can also scan the QR code from the quiz card to skip typing.

Question 6

Can I see student submissions in detail?

Accepted Answer

Yes! In the Live Dashboard, click on any student row to see their per-challenge submissions, time taken, and AI feedback. Columns are resizable - drag borders to adjust.

Question 7

How do I create a practice quiz vs. an exam?

Accepted Answer

For practice: Enable 'Show Solutions After Submission', allow repeat attempts [Pro], use 'Flexible' AI strictness, and enable offline mode [Pro]. For exams: Disable solutions, disable repeats, use 'Strict' AI strictness, and enable 'Disable Copy/Paste' [Essential].

Question 8

How do I duplicate a quiz or challenge?

Accepted Answer

To duplicate a challenge, click the copy icon on the challenge header. To duplicate an entire quiz, use the menu on the quiz card and select 'Duplicate'. The copy will be active with a '(Copy)' suffix.

Question 9

How do filters work in Analytics?

Accepted Answer

Both Analytics Dashboard [Pro] and Advanced Analytics [Enterprise] support Date Range, Quiz, and Student filters. Select a date range with the calendar, then filter by specific quizzes or students. Filters work together and auto-reset when selections become invalid.

Question 10

Do I need to provide sample solutions for MCQ/True-False/Match challenges?

Accepted Answer

No. MCQ, True/False, and Match the Following have built-in correct answer fields within their editors. Sample solutions are only required for scenario-based challenges (Text, Image, Video) where AI uses them as a grading reference.

Question 11

What are the five quiz modes?

Accepted Answer

Saval offers five quiz modes: Class Quiz (individual, standard quiz), Group Bucket [Pro] (team competition with colour-coded buckets and podium), The Great Wall [Pro] (teams build walls with earned points, attack rivals, and gain immunity when all members finish), Fly or Fall [Pro] (students pick a flying character that ascends a pixel-art mountain on correct answers — only survivors who clear the peak win), and Tug of War [Pro] (two teams pull a rope in real time and the first team past the win line wins).

Question 12

How does The Great Wall Quiz work?

Accepted Answer

[Pro] In a Great Wall Quiz, each point earned builds your team's wall (1 pt = 1 height). Students can spend 20 points to attack a rival wall, dealing 20 permanent damage. Walls become immune once all team members finish. The tallest wall wins. The Live Dashboard shows real-time wall growth with attack animations.

Question 13

How does the Fly or Fall Quiz work?

Accepted Answer

[Pro] In a Fly or Fall Quiz, every student picks a flyer (helicopter, jet, balloon, etc.). Each correct answer lifts the flyer one step up a pixel-art mountain; wrong answers send it tumbling. Students whose flyers fall off the screen are eliminated. Only flyers that clear the mountain peak survive. The teacher sets the mountain height when creating the quiz.

Question 14

How does the Tug of War Quiz work?

Accepted Answer

[Pro] In a Tug of War Quiz, two teams face off across a rope. Every correct answer pulls the rope toward the answering team's side in real time; wrong answers help the opposing team. The first team to drag the rope past their win line wins the match. Match duration mirrors the quiz time limit, and starting the quiz always resets the rope to centre for a fresh game.

Question 15

How do teachers share a quiz with a colleague?

Accepted Answer

Open the quiz card menu and choose 'Share'. Enter the recipient teacher's email; Saval deep-clones the quiz — challenges, sample solutions, and attachments — into their account, where they can edit and run it independently of yours. Bulk-share multiple quizzes at once from the dashboard selection toolbar.

Question 16

What happens if I lose internet during a quiz?

Accepted Answer

Your work is auto-saved to your browser. When you reconnect, refresh the page and you should be able to continue. Your timer pauses only if the teacher pauses the session, not for individual connection issues.

Question 17

Can I go back to previous challenges?

Accepted Answer

Yes! Use the Previous/Next buttons or click the Challenge Map to jump to any challenge. You can revisit and modify your answers as many times as you want before submitting.

Question 18

How is my score calculated?

Accepted Answer

For scenario challenges (Text, Image, Video), AI grades your response on a 0-100 scale based on correctness and completeness. For MCQ, True/False, and Match the Following, your score is calculated automatically based on correct answers. Multi-select MCQ and Match use proportional scoring.

Question 19

What's the difference between 'Submit' and auto-submit?

Accepted Answer

Click 'Submit' to send your answer for grading immediately. Auto-submit happens only when time runs out - all your current work is submitted automatically.

Question 20

Why can't I paste code into the editor?

Accepted Answer

[Essential] Your teacher may have enabled 'Disable Copy/Paste' for academic integrity. This blocks both keyboard shortcuts and mouse paste across Text, Code, and Math modes. You'll need to type your solution manually.

Question 21

Can I see the sample solution?

Accepted Answer

Only if your teacher enabled 'Show Solution After Submission'. If enabled, you'll see the sample solution after submitting your answer. This is available for scenario-based challenges where sample solutions exist.

Question 22

What are the different challenge types I might encounter?

Accepted Answer

There are 6 types: Text-Based Scenario (write a text response, AI graded), Image-Based Scenario (view an image, submit a response, AI graded), Video-Based Scenario (watch a video, write a response, AI graded), MCQ (select one or multiple options, auto-graded), True/False (toggle true or false, auto-graded), and Match the Following (drag-and-drop matching, auto-graded).

Question 23

How can I review my past quiz attempts?

Accepted Answer

Click the 'Review' button on any completed quiz card in your dashboard. You'll see a list of all your attempts with scores and can click any attempt to view detailed challenge-by-challenge feedback. If you have multiple attempts, a score progression chart shows your improvement.

Question 24

Can I download a report of my quiz attempt?

Accepted Answer

Yes! When reviewing a specific attempt, click the 'Download PDF' button to export a detailed report. The PDF includes your scores, all your solutions, AI feedback, and any images embedded in your submissions.

Question 25

How does The Great Wall Quiz work as a student?

Accepted Answer

[Pro] You join a wall/team before the session starts. Every point you earn builds your wall. After completing a challenge, you can spend 20 points to attack a rival wall. Once all your teammates finish, your wall becomes immune to attacks. The tallest wall at the end wins!

Question 26

How does the Fly or Fall Quiz work as a student?

Accepted Answer

[Pro] After joining, you pick a flying character (helicopter, jet, balloon, etc.). Each correct answer lifts your flyer one step up the mountain; each wrong answer pushes it back down. If your flyer falls off the bottom of the screen you're eliminated. Survive by clearing the peak — accuracy matters more than speed.

Question 27

What's the difference between Group Bucket, Great Wall, Fly or Fall, and Tug of War?

Accepted Answer

Group Bucket: team scores are summed and ranked on a leaderboard with a podium for the top 3. Great Wall: points physically build walls, students can attack rival walls, and walls gain immunity when all members finish. Fly or Fall: an individual elimination mode where every correct answer lifts your flyer up a mountain and wrong answers send it tumbling. Tug of War: two teams pull on a rope in real time — every correct answer tugs the rope toward your side, and the first team past the win line wins.
