Quiz for university students. Covers everything from academic to entertainment quizzes! (1–10)
Current affairs quiz
“I’ve been hearing that term a lot lately, but I don’t really understand what it means—I’ll look it up next time.” Many university students probably have current-events topics like this that they intend to research but keep putting off.
Keeping up with current events is a solid, no-lose category that’s useful for job hunting, too.
If you get the chance, have your friends quiz you on current events.
That way, the information sticks in your mind as a special kind of memory called “episodic memory” in neuroscience, making it easier to remember than studying alone.
It’s true—memories tied to episodes, like “PM2.5 was the correct answer, but I said AM2.5 and my friends burst out laughing,” tend to stick with you even later, don’t they?
Lateral Thinking Quiz
Do you know the quiz called “Turtle Soup”? It’s one of the most representative lateral-thinking puzzles.
In a lateral-thinking quiz, you’re presented with a baffling situation and, by asking questions that can be answered with “YES” or “NO,” you gather hints and deduce how the situation came to be.
Among these, the most famous problem is “Turtle Soup,” so well-known that the term itself is often used to refer to lateral-thinking quizzes in general.
It’s a quiz that demands serious deductive reasoning, so it’s especially recommended for university students who enjoy mystery novels!
Japanese Law Quiz
A highly recommended activity for law undergraduates is a Japanese law quiz.
It’s practical and great to draw questions from class materials or exam-style problems that test legal terminology.
On the other hand, if you’re aiming for something more casual—like a quiz night at an event or with friends—why not turn unusual court precedents into quiz questions? If you have the bandwidth, ask the quizmaster to wear a pocket-size statute book or a lawyer-style badge to heighten the legal-quiz vibe—it’s a fun twist that really livens things up!
Psychology Quiz
Psychology is the study of how people’s minds work.
Many people probably think it’s a field full of difficult terminology.
However, because psychology deals with the human mind, there are things you can actually feel and put into practice in real interactions with others, making some parts relatively easy to understand.
There are even YouTubers who explain solutions to problems like how to relate to others from a psychological perspective, and they’ve been getting a lot of attention lately.
A fun way to learn about psychology is through psychology quizzes.
As you answer the questions, you might discover something new, like, “So that feeling actually has a name like this.”
Geography Quiz
A geography quiz that tests how much you know about the place you live.
You might be able to rely on your sense for your own prefecture and its surroundings, but when it comes to regions a bit farther away, you quickly get lost, don’t you? Through this geography quiz, let’s learn about the environments and local characteristics of Japan and the world! With more geographical knowledge, you might discover new ways to enjoy your future travels.
It’s a quiz we want not only geography majors, but also students from other fields to try.
Literature Quiz
Here’s a recommended Japanese literature quiz for humanities university students.
It covers literature from the Heian period to the present day—test how much you know! Formats like “hear the title and name the author” or “hear the opening lines and name the work” are also recommended.
Japan also has literary awards announced every year, so you could narrow the theme using prizes—for example, “Nominees for the OO Prize in 20OO.” This quiz is especially enjoyable for humanities students who love reading!
Chemical Formula Quiz
Quizzes about chemistry are fun because you can learn new things and test your own knowledge.
Chemistry formula quizzes are recommended for everyone—from serious learners like students in science universities or departments to people who are only casually interested in chemistry.
Questions range from ones anyone should be able to answer, like “H2O,” to slightly quirky ones like “CH3COOH.” There are virtually limitless questions you can ask, so you can enjoy the quiz for a long time.
If you’re interested in chemistry, give it a try!
