Top tips to optimize the experience for quiz takers

The pictures may not download quickly if test takers have a slow internet connection. Here are some top tips to provide a good experience for your learners.

Condense the image file size: Choose from many great tools such as tiny png or compress jpeg.
Avoid using many features simultaneously, such as time limit per page, background images, and the progress bar.
Keep to a maximum of two images per page.
Images up to 800 PX wide look good.
