Quiz Settings

Quiz Settings allow you to choose between automatic or manual marking, set a passing score, allow retakes and require passing the quiz to progress to the next lesson.

If you choose manual marking, the submissions will need to be manually reviewed and marked by a course owner from the Inbox.

Passing Score (%)

Allow Retakes

You can allow the students to retry the quiz after a failed attempt.

Require Pass to Progress

You can prevent the student from moving to the next lesson until they have passed the quiz.
