Create Quiz guide

When creating a quiz, you can separate related questions into Grade items and display the grade achieved for each grade item. Grade items can help students to identify their relative strengths in the separate sections of the quiz.

Staff can view the results for each grade item to identify areas for improvement.

Please note: Quiz grade items are only visible within the quiz. In the module Grader Report, only the overall grade for the whole quiz is displayed.

You can add your questions to your quiz, then organise them in grade items, or create your grade items and then add questions to them.

You can add extra grade items, and move questions between them after you have created the quiz and after students have already completed attempts.
