The usage of 'yet'

1. I haven't finished yet this quiz.
2. I haven't yet finished this quiz.

Which is correct and why?
  

Top answer

No. 2 is correct since yet is frequently placed after not and in English you should think twice before putting anything between a verb and its object. I haven't finished this quiz yet is also right.
