Category
In Quiz and Survey Master Plugin, you can categorize each question you’ve made. For example, you are making a quiz containing questions about General Knowledge, so you can create a Category named General Knowledge and the Question will be added to that category.
Likewise, you can add multiple questions to the same category or a single question to multiple categories. So, whenever you want to import/reuse a question in another quiz it will be easier for you to find questions with that category and you can use them whenever needed.
