Having checkboxes for all of the questions without any option to see what questions were wrong makes the quizzes both useless and very irritating. Rather than being able to go back and look up what I got wrong, I have to go back through the quiz multiple times guessing at different combinations until I get lucky. At that point, I don't even know what was right or wrong.
