Taking a quiz

  5. Click Save after selecting each answer.
    Note: Click the Save All Responses button regularly if there are a number of questions on a single page or you are working on a time-consuming question. Regular saving of answers may minimise the risk of losing answers if there are browser problems or timeouts.

    Note: If you attempt to submit a quiz with unanswered questions, you will receive a warning at the top of the Submit Quiz page. Click the links below the warning to return to the unanswered questions.

Watching the time

If your instructor has allocated a specific amount of time allowed for the quiz to be completed, it will be listed:

  • Before you start the quiz: under Quiz Specifics on the quiz Summary page.
  • Once you have started the quiz: under Time Limit in the top left hand corner of the quiz.

The clock will start ticking once you start the quiz. Time Left, located at the top left hand corner of the quiz, will provide you with an indication of how much time is left for you to sit for the quiz.

If your quiz has a time limit you may be prompted or forced to submit your quiz. If the quiz is set to auto-submit at the end of the designated time period, only saved questions are submitted. Make sure you save regularly near the end of the quiz period and attempt to finish and submit the quiz before the time expires.

Reviewing questions

It is a good idea to review your quiz, or difficult questions in the quiz, before you submit it if this facility is enabled. To review questions click either:

  • the Previous page icon, or
  • the question number in the Quiz Info widget.

When you have completed reviewing your answers, click the Go to Submit Quiz button and submit your Quiz.
