The sample comprises 36 students from tenth grade at SMAN 4 Kota Blitar, selected through purposive sampling. The effectiveness of the web-based quiz was measured by comparing students' scores before and after the intervention. Results indicated a significant improvement in the student's performance, with the average pretest score of 61.03 increasing to 82.94 in the posttest.
