Follow the steps below to allow Test takers to skip quiz questions
  1. Go to the Test 'settings' page.
  2. Scroll down to section Test Questions.
  3. Click on 'Answers' to expand options.
  4. Ensure there is no check for the box beside Mandatory: Must Answer Questions.

The setting to 'Change Answers' is optional. If you wish for users to skip questions but not go back to previous Test pages to review/change answers, you would just ensure this option is not selected.

If you do allow 'Change Answers', this will enable Test takers to bookmark quiz questions during the Test.

The bookmark icon will display at the top of each question for the Test taker to see, to then jump back to bookmarked questions.

When you give your Test and you have selected the quiz setting to bookmark quiz questions for later review, Test takers will have the following options:
  • View All Questions: Test takers can view both bookmarked questions and questions that are not bookmarked.
