About this quiz

What you’ll learn

This quiz focuses on practical social media safety: protecting personal data, recognizing scam patterns, and responding to suspicious activity without panic.

Each question is multiple-choice with 4 options and no timer, so you can think through real-world scenarios instead of rushing.

Skills you’ll practice

You’ll practice reading posts, DMs, and links critically, checking privacy and security signals, and choosing safer actions when something feels “off.”

Expect a Mixed difficulty spread: easier questions cover core habits, while tougher ones test edge cases like impersonation, recovery scams, and account takeover tactics.

Common pitfalls to avoid
