Is there a way to do an A/B test on the amount of questions on a form? I only want to know if users prefer a form with 3 questions or with 7 questions. The form with 3 questions are the same first 3 questions on the form with 7 questions

Hi @CDegler

Forms themselves do not support A/B tests, yet, so I think you will have to create two separate forms (A and B) and present them via page variations, the compare the submission rate between them.

Hope this helps.

Hi @Phil_Vallender,

Can you clarify when say that forms do not support A/B tests and to create two seperate forms as page variations? Are you saying that there isn’t a way to currently test this except to post both variations in an A/B testing model an compare the submission rate? What do you recommend would be the most accurate way to test which form users prefer?

Thank you,

Chris

Hi @CDegler

Indeed, you can’t create A/B versions of a form, but you can put different forms on A/B versions of a page. HubSpot should ensure that an equal number of visitors see each page, so the submission rate of each form should directly comparable.

Hope this helps?

Hi @CDegler,

HubSpot doesn’t have options for A/B testing forms but for A/B testing landing pages. You can find the instructions here: [Run an A/B test on a page](https://knowledge.hubspot.com/website-pages/run-an-a-b-test-on-your-page)

This requires two things: First, you need to use HubSpot as your CMS. If you’re using a different landing page builder, you need to check the options of that tool. Second, A/B testing landing pages requires a Marketing or CMS Hub Professional subscription.

Other users have already requested A/B tests for forms but the product team is currently not planning on working on this (as of February 2022). However, [you can upvote this request](https://community.hubspot.com/t5/HubSpot-Ideas/A-B-Testing-Forms/idi-p/11502) and the product team might re-evaluate the request based on its popularity.

Best regards!
