What is Bing News Quiz?
Bing News Quiz is a free weekly trivia challenge released every Monday, testing your knowledge of current events from the past week. With 10 multiple-choice questions and an 80-second time limit, this quiz focuses exclusively on recent news and trending topics.
Unlike our other quizzes that cover general knowledge or various subjects, News Quiz concentrates only on what happened in the world during the previous week. Questions cover major headlines in politics, science, sports, entertainment, business, and global events.
Released every Monday, it's the perfect way to start your week informed and see how well you followed the news. No registration required, works on all devices.
How News Quiz Keeps You Informed
The News Quiz offers a quick alternative to reading lengthy news articles. Instead of spending hours catching up on headlines, you get a focused 10-question recap of the week's most important events in just over a minute.
Each question is based on real news from the past seven days, covering major global developments, breakthrough discoveries, significant political events, sports achievements, and entertainment headlines. By answering questions about these events, you actively engage with the news rather than passively scrolling through articles.
This format helps busy people stay current without overwhelming time commitments. Whether you missed some headlines during a hectic week or want to test how well you absorbed the news, the Monday quiz serves as both a learning tool and a knowledge check. It's an efficient way to ensure you're aware of what's happening in the world.
