My first attempt (not refactored to make it modular)

Here's one way I tried to solve the Quiz coding challenge. My next attempt will be to make it more modular. Suggestions on ways to make this better are welcome. :)

var score = 0;
var correctMsg = "<h2>You got these questions right: </h2> <ol>";
var incorrectMsg = "<h2>You got these questions wrong: </h2> <ol>";
var yourScore = " ";

function print(message) {
  document.write(message);
}


var quiz = [
  ["What are non-wizarding folk called?", "muggles"],
  ["What are the soul sucking, despair inducing creatures called that can be vanquished with a Patronus charm?", "dementors"],
  ["What are the objects into which you can split your soul?", "horcruxes"]
];



//ask a question and add it into a loop
//compare the answer and see if answer was correct.
for (i = 0; i < quiz.length; i++){
  var answer = prompt(quiz[i][0]);

  if (answer === quiz[i][1]){
    correctMsg += "<li>" + quiz[i][0] + "</li>";
    score += 1; 
  } else {
    incorrectMsg += "<li>" + quiz[i][0] + "</li>";
    //document.write("try using plurals");
  }
}
incorrectMsg += "</ol>";
correctMsg += "</ol>";
yourScore += "<b>Your Score is : </b>" + score; 
print (yourScore);

//if you got 0 questions correct, then don't print this section
//if you got 0 questions wrong, then don't print out this section 

if ( score === 0 ) {
  print(incorrectMsg);
} else if (score < quiz.length - 1) { 
  print(correctMsg);
  print(incorrectMsg);
} else {
  print(correctMsg);
}
