I’m not sure what I am doing wrong, but the text for my JPanels is not showing up. I just get the question number text, but the question is not showing up. Any ideas what I am doing wrong?

I just tried it and it seems to work – what version of Java are you using, and on what platform?
BTW: When you say
what it actually does is create a GridLayout that will always have 8 rows. If you add another item to it, it will actually create a new column (GridLayout only cares about the first non-zero parameter you pass it).
You really mean:
