About this quiz

What you’ll practice

This quiz targets the decisions that set the tone for the whole auction: choosing an opening bid and finding the right response.

You’ll work through hand-evaluation basics (HCP, distribution, balanced vs unbalanced) and learn to connect your bid to a clear plan for the next round.

Quiz format and difficulty

Each question is multiple-choice with 4 options and no timer, so you can think through the auction at your own pace.

Pick your question count before you start, and choose a difficulty setting if you want more beginner-friendly fundamentals or more mixed, table-realistic auctions; “Mixed” blends easy reminders with tougher judgment calls.

Common pitfalls to avoid

Many errors come from overvaluing points, ignoring shape, or making bids that don’t describe your hand clearly enough for partner.

  • Opening too high with a weak suit or inflated points
  • Forgetting to show a 5-card major (or showing it too late)
  • Treating every response as forcing when it isn’t (or vice versa)
  • Misjudging balanced ranges and choosing the wrong notrump action
  • Skipping simple, descriptive bids in favor of “creative” ones

How to get the most out of it

After each question, ask what message your bid sends: strength, shape, and suit quality. If you miss one, replay a short set at the same difficulty, then increase the challenge once your openings and responses feel automatic.
