Quiz settings #

Setting	What it does
Passing score (%)	The score a student needs to pass, for example 70.
Max attempts	How many times a student can take the quiz. 0 means unlimited.
Show quiz	When the quiz appears: after completing a lesson, a section or the whole course — or Don’t show automatically.

Click Save settings. Then go back to the Quizzes tab and click Publish — students cannot see a quiz while it is a draft.

On the Lessons tab, open the ⋮ menu of a lesson or section and choose Add quiz. Pick the quiz from the list. Students then see “This lesson has a quiz” with a Take quiz button.
