How paginating a survey affects completion rate
Experiment ID: #27345
Hillsdale College
Experiment Summary
Timeframe: 01/27/2020 - 02/22/2020
Hillsdale College was running a survey about the state of higher education. They had moved from SurveyMonkey to Unbounce to streamline their survey creation process, and were curious if they could get more people to complete the survey by breaking it into smaller sections that were paginated. Their hypothesis was that paginating the survey would result in more “momentum” as people completed multiple smaller surveys, rather than one long survey on the page. They created both versions in the new platform and launched an A/B test to see how it affected completion rate.
Research Question

Results
| Treatment Name | Conv. Rate | Relative Difference | Confidence | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| C: | Survey Page 1 | 53.8% | ||
| T1: | Survey (Paginated Version) | 67.1% | 24.8% | 100.0% |
This experiment has a required sample size of 103 in order to be valid. Since the experiment had a total sample size of 18,385, and the level of confidence is above 95% the experiment results are valid.
Flux Metrics Affected
The Flux Metrics analyze the three primary metrics that affect revenue (traffic, conversion rate, and average gift). This experiment produced the following results:
0% increase in traffic
× 24.8% increase in conversion rate
× 0% increase in average gift
Key Learnings
The paginated survey generated 24.8% more completions than the single page survey, which indicated that the “multiple short surveys” approach helped decrease the perceived friction that a long survey created. This resulted in more people seeing a donation page, which resulted in more donations.
