What Quiz Options Can I Set?

Mon 24th May 2021< Back to Blogs and Tutorials

All Tests require different settings to be applied. One Test may need a time limit; certain restrictions to be used regarding how a user can access the Test. An exam may require the need for a certificate given upon completion. A quiz may require displaying feedback and grading while a user is completing their quiz. ClassMarker's online quiz maker will enable you to apply all of these settings and then some!

Each Test, quiz, exam, questionnaire, or assessment you give will more than likely require the ability to add different
quiz options, depending on your Testing requirements.

Let's take a look at some of the options ClassMarker has available.

You have just created and assigned your Test. You are now ready to apply quiz options. What's available?
  • Availability: Set a start date/time and end date/time when users can enter the Test. Check 'Available' to make the Test always available. Unavailable will ensure no users can enter the Test.
  • Attempts: Set the number of attempts per user. Choose one attempt, specify a specific number, or set it to unlimited.
  • Restrictions: Restrict access to quizzes. When using Links, set a common password for all users. Or, apply an access list to provide each user with an access code to ensure that only those who should have access do, along with securing the number of attempts. Using groups, users will be given login details that include a username and password, to access their Tests.
  • Price: Sell your Tests! (this is optional). Set the Test price, customize instructions, add your organization details. Users will be directed instantly to the Test upon payment completion. You receive the payment immediately. Choose which Tests to give for free and which ones to charge for.

  • Time Limit: Set a timer on the Test. The timer will display during the Test and when this runs out, the Test will automatically be submitted.
  • Resume Later: Allows Test takers to save Test progress during the Test to resume at a later time. If you do not apply this online quiz tool setting, users will need to finish the Test in one sitting.
  • Theme: Only available when using Links. This allows you brand your Tests with your own company logos.
  • Number of questions per page: Choose the number of questions to display per each Test page.

You can also choose question grading and feedback during the Test and/or reveal correct answers. Allow users to go back to previous Test pages to review/change answers. Enable/disable browser spell checking.
  • Results Page: Choose what displays on user results pages, such as score, percentage, grading, reveal correct answers, display only incorrect questions only, category results, custom feedback.
