That's much better. At my company the quiz is a formal part of the oral and failed quiz = failed oral = failed checkride. In light of that I would probably not report it on an application, but if they ask in the interview, go ahead and tell them about (along with lessons-learned). If you deny it when asked, and they did somehow get a record of it...sometimes things have a habit of showing up in a PRIA request depending on how the paperwork is organized.

It's common for interviewers to probe a little bit to see if things like this come up. More of an honesty check than anything.
