Regarded as a popular type of assessment to test students’ knowledge, quiz have a tendency of increasing student’s motivation and potential due to its informal, fast and easy to administer nature. It is also deemed as an efficient tool to administer response regarding comprehension of topics taught. This article discusses the practice of quiz as an assessment tool in testing learning outcomes through the results of literature review. Previous studies have shown that quizzes could be conducted to assess learning achievement in the form of score or training practice. The diversity of methods and types of quizzes was put forth to evaluate the learning outcomes of students not only on paper but also online. However, the design of quiz was not explicitly stated as the courses and learning objectives are diversified. Hence, this article has suggested some guidance to teachers in designing a more effective and systematic form of quizzes according to the needs and objectives stipulated.
