How I Built This GA4 Certification Practice Quiz (Step-by-Step Tutorial)
Want to build your own GA4 Certification Practice Quiz or interactive JavaScript quizzes for your website? Here’s a full breakdown of how I created this Google Analytics 4 practice exam from scratch using HTML, Bootstrap 5, and JavaScript, complete with coding examples you can reuse!
- 1. Structured the Questions and Answers
I gathered 60 real GA4 practice exam questions, then structured them inside a JavaScript array like this:const questions = [ { question: "What type of property exports data to BigQuery?", options: ["Standard GA4 Property", "Only Analytics 360 Properties", "Free GA4 Property", "Google Ads Accounts"], correct: 1 }, // more questions... ];
This format makes it easy to manage or update questions later.
- 2. Designed the HTML Quiz Layout
I used Bootstrap 5 cards to display each question, with vertical button groups for the multiple-choice answers:<div class="card mb-4"> <div class="card-body"> <h5 class="card-title">1. Example Question</h5> <div class="btn-group-vertical w-100"> <button class="btn btn-outline-primary">Option A</button> <button class="btn btn-outline-primary">Option B</button> <button class="btn btn-outline-primary">Option C</button> <button class="btn btn-outline-primary">Option D</button> </div> </div> </div>
Bootstrap made the layout mobile-friendly without any extra CSS work.
- 3. Added JavaScript Logic for Answer Checking
I wrote a simple function to highlight answers instantly when clicked — green for correct, red for incorrect — and keep track of the user’s score:function checkAnswer(button, isCorrect, correctAnswer) { if (button.disabled) return; const group = button.parentElement; Array.from(group.children).forEach(btn => btn.disabled = true); if (isCorrect) { button.classList.add('correct'); score++; } else { button.classList.add('incorrect'); setTimeout(() => alert('Correct Answer: ' + correctAnswer), 100); } }
This approach ensures an immediate, engaging user experience without page reloads.
- 4. Made the Quiz Fully Reusable and Scalable
Because all questions live in a data array and rendering is dynamic, I can add, remove, or edit questions without touching the HTML structure.This method is ideal for anyone who wants to build dynamic quizzes or practice exams in JavaScript.
- 5. Optimized the Quiz for WordPress Embedding
I included everything inside one clean HTML file and linked Bootstrap 5 via CDN:<link href="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/bootstrap@5.3.0/dist/css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet">
That way, I can paste the full quiz into a WordPress Custom HTML block — no plugins needed, no external files!
