*This pilot study explores the predictive role of weekly game-based online quizzes on academic achievement and engagement in a 15-week foundation of education course at a university. The purpose was to assess how quiz performance relates to midterm and final exam outcomes and student engagement, leveraging Quizizz as a formative assessment tool. Conducted with 24 third-year students selected via convenience sampling, the methodology involved collecting quiz scores and completions from Quizizz, alongside attendance and exam scores from university records. Descriptive statistics, Pearson's correlation, and linear regression were analyzed using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 27. Findings revealed that there is a statistically significant correlation between quiz performance, attendance, and the number of quiz completions. Simple regression analysis further revealed that students' midterm exam scores and final exam scores were predicted by quiz performance. The result from this study suggested integrating game-based quiz tools as a formative assessment into education to enhance learning outcomes, with a call for larger-scale research to validate and refine this approach.*
