Bing News Quiz Guide – Breaking News, Top Headlines & Rewards Tips
10 Questions300 SecondsU.S. + World HeadlinesAnswers Explained
Ten questions, five minutes, and the stories everyone is talking about. This guide explains how our daily news quiz works, how to turn a quiz habit into steady Microsoft Rewards points, and which other Bing-style quizzes are worth adding to your routine.
Use the quiz above to test yourself on today’s top U.S. and world headlines, then read on for strategies that make every session count.
01Overview
What is the Bing News Quiz?
For years, Microsoft Bing has turned current events into short multiple-choice quizzes. They became popular with Microsoft Rewards members because quizzes and polls regularly show up in the Daily Set, the small group of activities on the Rewards dashboard that refreshes every day.
Our Bing News Quiz is a daily practice version built around U.S. and world headlines. You get 10 questions, a 300-second timer, and a results page that explains every answer. It is an independent quiz, not Microsoft’s official one, so it doesn’t award points directly. What it does is keep the week’s stories fresh in your memory, so you answer faster and with more confidence when a news question appears on Bing.
Topics rotate with the headlines: politics and policy, business and markets, science and health, technology, sport, and the human-interest stories that dominate the day.
02Method
How to play today’s quiz
- 1
Start the clock
You have 300 seconds for 10 questions, roughly 30 seconds each. That’s plenty if you keep moving.
- 2
Read every option
News questions often turn on a single detail: a name, a country or a number. Check all four choices before you commit.
- 3
Pace yourself
Answer quick-recall questions on instinct, and save your extra seconds for dates and figures.
- 4
Study the results
Each answer comes with context. Reading it is where most of the learning happens.

Microsoft Rewards tips that actually work
Microsoft Rewards is Microsoft’s free loyalty program. You earn points for everyday activity such as Bing searches and Daily Set tasks, then redeem them for gift cards, sweepstakes entries or donations to nonprofits. In 2026 the program moved to three tiers (Member, Silver and Gold), with the rollout reaching different countries at different times. Here is how the tiers look on Microsoft’s U.S. Rewards overview page at the time of writing:
| Tier | How to reach it | Daily Bing search cap |
|---|---|---|
| Member | Default tier when you join | 25 points |
| Silver | Earn 500 points in a month | 50 points |
| Gold | Earn 750 points in a month | 100 points |
Bing searches earn 5 points each up to the daily cap. Some tiers may also require level-up activities. Values vary by country and can change, so always confirm on your own Rewards dashboard.
- 01
Clear the Daily Set first
It takes a few minutes, refreshes every day, and its quizzes and polls add up quickly toward your monthly tier target.
- 02
Search with real intent
Spread genuine searches through your day. Bots, scripts and auto-refreshers break Microsoft’s Services Agreement and can get your account suspended and your points cancelled.
- 03
Track your tier mid-month
Tiers are based on points earned within the month. A quick check around the 15th tells you whether you’re on pace for Silver or Gold.
- 04
Protect your streaks
Rewards favors consistency. Ten minutes every day is worth far more than a single long session once a week.
- 05
Use more Microsoft apps
The Rewards page also lists Microsoft Edge, Xbox, Outlook mobile and Microsoft Store purchases as ways to earn.
- 06
Stay on official sites
Only sign in through bing.com or microsoft.com. Ignore “free points generators”; they are scams aimed at your account.

Become a sharper news reader
The players who score highest aren’t memorizing trivia. They read the news in a way that makes details stick. Try these habits:
- Skim several sections on Bing News each morning, not only the top story.
- Read past the headline. Most quiz questions come from the second or third paragraph.
- Note the “who, where and how many”: names, places and numbers come up again and again.
- Follow one developing story all week, so you can see how it changes from day to day.
- Quiz a friend or family member. Explaining an answer is the fastest way to remember it.
It also helps to know the difference between a breaking story and a developing one. Breaking news is usually a single event, such as an election result or a major court ruling. Developing stories, such as trade talks, a storm’s path or a product launch, change over several days. Quiz questions about developing stories usually test the latest detail, so a quick check of the headlines before you start the Bing News Quiz can be the difference between nine and ten correct answers.
