What is a Quiz?

A Quiz is a method of testing a student's knowledge around a particular subject area. Quizzes are sometimes assessed so be sure to check your assessment briefings to ensure you complete everything that is expected of you. A Quiz can be identified by a pink icon with a white tick box.

Completing a Quiz

To view the 'Quiz' click on the quiz title to the right-hand side of the 'Quiz' icon.

If you have not attempted the quiz before you will see the 'Attempt quiz now' button. If you have started the quiz you should see the 'Re-attempt quiz' button. Click either of these buttons to start the quiz.

Each Quiz is unique and can contain any number of questions and different types of questions including text input and multiple choice. For example, you may be presented with a simple checkbox question and must choose just one answer.
