Question coach and pre-test

5 min Client admins

Get wording advice as you type, and test the whole survey with 20 synthetic respondents before anyone real sees it.

What you will learn

  • Use the question coach suggestions
  • Run a pre-test and fix what it finds

Step by step

  1. In the builder, edit a question’s text. Under it, the coach shows suggestions: leading wording, two questions in one, jargon, too long for SMS, hard to say aloud.
  2. Press Use this to take a rewrite. Easy to translate offers plain wording that translates well into local languages.
  3. Press Pre-test at the top of the builder.
  4. Read the Pre-test report (20 synthetic respondents; nothing is saved or sent): Time to finish, Expected to finish, Paths (reachable, never asked, dead ends) and Issues grouped as Must fix, Worth a look and Tip.
  5. Click an issue to jump to the question. Fix it, then Run again.

What you will see

  • “No issues found: every path reaches the end and the wording passed every check.”
