About the General Knowledge quiz

Choose how many of the 10 questions in the General Knowledge bank you want and, if you like, a time limit of 5, 10 or 15 minutes, or tap Quick 5 for five questions with no clock. Questions come one at a time in a shuffled order, so a second attempt doesn't repeat the same sequence. After each answer the explanation opens straight away, and the results list every question with its explanation, including the ones you got right. It's built for school students and anyone who wants a quick general-knowledge warm-up who want to check a topic area quickly or test it in one sitting.

What the 10 questions cover

  • The solar system and its planets
  • Everyday chemistry: formulas, symbols and freezing points
  • Everyday biology: photosynthesis and the human heart
  • World geography: capitals and oceans
  • Calendar facts

No account is needed. With a time limit, the quiz ends when the clock runs out and anything unanswered shows as skipped. Your score isn't compared with anyone else's, so it's an honest read on what you know right now.
