5 Ways To Find Google Form Answers Using Inspect

Quick Links :

Google Forms is a popular tool for creating surveys, quizzes, and assessments, but have you ever wanted to peek at the answers without submitting the form? Maybe you're a student trying to cheat (don't do that!), or perhaps you're a developer looking to understand how Google Forms works. Whatever the reason, I'll show you 5 ways to find Google Form answers using Inspect.

Why use Inspect?

Inspect is a powerful tool in Google Chrome that allows you to examine the HTML, CSS, and JavaScript code of a webpage. By using Inspect, you can gain insight into how a webpage is constructed and even modify its behavior. In the case of Google Forms, Inspect can help you uncover the answers to a quiz or survey without having to submit the form.

Method 1: Checking the HTML Source Code

The first method involves checking the HTML source code of the Google Form page. To do this:

1. Open the Google Form in Google Chrome.
2. Press Ctrl + Shift + I (Windows/Linux) or Cmd + Opt + I (Mac) to open the Inspect panel.
3. In the Inspect panel, click on the "Elements" tab.
4. Press Ctrl + F (Windows/Linux) or Cmd + F (Mac) to open the search bar.
5. Type input in the search bar and press Enter.
6. Look for the input elements with a value attribute. These contain the answers to the form questions.

Method 2: Using the JavaScript Console

The second method involves using the JavaScript console to extract the answers. To do this:

1. Open the Google Form in Google Chrome.
2. Press Ctrl + Shift + I (Windows/Linux) or Cmd + Opt + I (Mac) to open the Inspect panel.
3. In the Inspect panel, click on the "Console" tab.
4. Type document.querySelectorAll('input') and press Enter.
5. Look for the value property of each input element. These contain the answers to the form questions.

Method 3: Inspecting the Form Data

The third method involves inspecting the form data to extract the answers. To do this:

1. Open the Google Form in Google Chrome.
2. Press Ctrl + Shift + I (Windows/Linux) or Cmd + Opt + I (Mac) to open the Inspect panel.
3. In the Inspect panel, click on the "Network" tab.
4. Submit the form (don't worry, we're just inspecting the data).
5. Look for the "Request Payload" section in the Network panel.
6. Expand the "Request Payload" section to view the form data.
7. Look for the answers property in the form data. This contains the answers to the form questions.

Method 4: Using the Debugger

The fourth method involves using the debugger to extract the answers. To do this:

1. Open the Google Form in Google Chrome.
2. Press Ctrl + Shift + I (Windows/Linux) or Cmd + Opt + I (Mac) to open the Inspect panel.
3. In the Inspect panel, click on the "Sources" tab.
4. Find the form.js file in the sources list.
5. Open the form.js file and set a breakpoint at the submit event handler.
6. Submit the form.
7. When the debugger breaks, inspect the answers variable. This contains the answers to the form questions.

Method 5: Using a Browser Extension

The fifth and final method involves using a browser extension to extract the answers. To do this:

1. Install a browser extension like "Form Data Viewer" or "Google Form Answers".
2. Open the Google Form in Google Chrome.
3. Click on the extension icon in the browser toolbar.
4. Follow the extension's instructions to extract the answers.

Final Thoughts

While these methods can help you find Google Form answers using Inspect, remember that cheating is not the answer (pun intended). If you're a student, use these methods to understand how Google Forms work, not to cheat. If you're a developer, use these methods to improve your own forms and applications.
