**Quiz And Survey Master (QSM)** is a popular WordPress plugin, but its data export capabilities are split across two different premium add-ons. Depending on whether you want to export **user responses** (for analysis) or **quiz structures** (for migration), you will need a specific tool.
---
### 1. Export Results Add-on (For Analysis)
This is the most common requirement. It allows the admin to download all user responses and allows users to download their own results.
* **Admin Features:**
* **CSV Export:** Export all quiz results into a CSV file for Excel or Google Sheets.
* **Filtering:** Filter results by **specific dates** or select only specific quizzes to export.
* **Field Selection:** Choose exactly which columns to include (e.g., User Name, Score, Specific Answers, Correct/Incorrect status, Points per category).
* **Row Logic:** Choose between "Single Row" (one row per user) or "Separate Rows" (one row per question).
* **User Features:**
* **PDF Downloads:** Allows you to place a `%PDF_BUTTON%` on the results page or in emails so students/takers can download a professional PDF certificate or summary of their performance.
* **Pricing:** Typically starts at **$59** for a single site license.
### 2. Export and Import Add-on (For Migration)
This tool is used for technical management and site migration rather than data analysis.
* **Functionality:** It moves the **entire quiz structure** (questions, categories, logic, email templates, and settings) from one WordPress site to another.
* **Response Backup:** It can also include user responses in the export, but primarily as a way to restore them on another site, usually in **JSON format**.
* **Use Case:** Best for developers moving a quiz from a "Staging" site to a "Live" site.

1. **Navigate to QSM:** In your WordPress dashboard, go to **QSM > Results**.
2. **Access Export Tab:** Click the **Export Results** tab at the top.
3. **Configure Filters:** * Select the Quiz(zes) you want to export.
* Set the Start and End dates (optional).
* Select "Yes" for the specific data fields you need (Email, Score, etc.).
4. **Download:** Click **Export Results**. A link will appear at the top of the page; click it to download your `.csv` file.
