Taking Moodle Quizzes/Exams

Quiz IconA quiz, test, or exam all can be set up with the Moodle Quiz tool. Some instructors may even use the Quiz tool for basic assignments.

When you are ready to begin:

  1. Click the link for the quiz.
  2. Read the instructions and notice the time limit.
  3. Press Attempt quiz now to begin.
  4. You will have to confirm that you are ready by clicking Start attempt.
    • Once you do, the timer will start.
    • You might see one question per page or multiple questions per page depending on how your instructor set the quiz up.
    • Answer the question(s) and click the Next button to go to the next page.
    • As you go from question to question, you will notice a button to flag each question. This is useful if you might want to come back and review that question later. 
    • You can navigate back to questions using the Quiz navigation block on the left by clicking on the question number. Flagged questions will have a red triangle in the top-right corner. After you have reviewed a flagged question, you can click the flag to remove the flag from that question.
  5. After answering the last question, you will see a "Summary of attempt" page that will show whether each question has been saved or "Not yet answered."
  6. Be sure to review any questions not yet answered if time allows. You can come back to this page by using the "Finish attempt..." link in the Quiz navigation block. 
  7. When you are sure all questions are answered, click the Submit all and finish button and then confirm that you want to submit.

You can review your quiz results by clicking back on the original quiz link. What results you can see and how soon you can see them depend on settings established by your instructor. This will vary.

Some instructors may use Respondus LockDown Browser or ProctorU to ensure academic integrity for their exams. More information is provided below and on the Moodle Support Site.
