Quiz Attempts Basics
When a student opens a quiz attempt, the following happens:
- The logs immediately record an attempt with the date and time.
- Answers are saved every 5 minutes.
- Answers are saved every time the student proceeds to the next page.
- Unsaved answers are saved if the attempt times out.
Giving Whole Class More Attempts
How to increase the number of attempts for all students:
- Toggle Edit mode on.
- Find the quiz you wish to alter in your Moodle course and select Settings.
- Scroll down and find the section labeled Grade.
- Change the number of Attempts allowed as you see fit.
- Save changes.
Giving Small Groups or Single Students Extra time or Attempts on a Quiz
Adding a user override is an excellent feature that allows you to grant extensions, increase time, and set up multiple attempts for specific students on exams/quizzes.
To give a specific student an override:
1. Select the quiz that the student(s) need more time on.2. Click on More. Then select Overrides.
On the next screen, you'll be given several options:
- Override user: Search and select the student.
- Require password: Set up a password. (optional)
- Open/Close the quiz: To extend the due date of the quiz, change the close date of the quiz. You may also change the open date of the quiz, if necessary. (i.e. a student wishes to take an exam a week early)
- Time limit: If you want the time extended, set the desired time.
- Allowed attempts: If you want to give the student another attempt, then enter the appropriate amount. (i.e. a student is redoing an exam but the exam only allows one attempt)
