Most sections end with a short multiple-choice quiz. It isn't a one-shot test: if you miss a question, you get to try it again until you get it right. This article explains how a quiz works from start to finish, how your score is figured, and what you can see afterward.
Before you start: A section's quiz opens once you've finished every lesson in that section. Until then it shows a lock in the lesson list.
Start a quiz
There are three ways in:
On the last lesson of a section, click Start Quiz at the bottom.
In the lesson list, click Section quiz (it has a small QUIZ tag).
If your teacher assigned the quiz, click it on your Assignments page.
First you'll see a welcome screen that says "Quiz for" and the section name, how many questions there are, and the quiz rules in a short list. Read them. They cover retries, saving, timing, and what happens if you switch tabs.
Click Start quiz when you're ready.
Not ready? Click Not yet, back to lessons to go back to the course page.
Answer the questions
At the top you'll see which question you're on (for example, "QUESTION 3 OF 8") and a bar that fills as you go.
Read the question and click the answer you think is best.
Click Submit answer.
If you're right, you'll see Correct!. Click Next question.
If you're not, you'll see Not quite. Click Try again. You'll get the same question again, sometimes with different wording. Pick again and submit.
Keep going until you've answered every question correctly.
When you miss a question, only your own choice is marked. The right answer isn't shown. That's on purpose: it gives you a real second try instead of a giveaway, and it keeps the reworded version meaningful.
You answer questions in order, one at a time. There's no skipping ahead and no going back to an earlier question.
How your score works
To finish a quiz, you get every question right eventually. Your score shows how many tries that took. The welcome screen warns you about this: every answer you submit counts, including the ones you retry.
Your Score is your right answers divided by all the answers you submitted. Here's an example with a 10-question quiz:
You get 8 questions right on the first try.
You miss 2 questions once each, then get them right on the retry.
That's 10 right answers out of 12 submitted, so your score is 83%.
A careful first try is worth more than a fast guess.
When you finish
After your last correct answer, you'll see QUIZ COMPLETE with a little confetti. The screen shows three numbers:
Score: your percentage, worked out as above.
Raw Score: right answers out of answers submitted, for example 10/12.
Topics Mastered: how many questions you've cleared, for example 10/10.
From there, click Next section to move on, Back to course to return to the course page, or Celebrate! for more confetti. Finishing the quiz also gives the section its green check, as long as you've finished its lessons.
If you leave in the middle
Your progress saves after every answer. If you close the tab, lose your connection, or the bell rings, open the quiz again later and you'll pick up where you stopped. Questions you've already gotten right won't come back.
Refreshing the page doesn't start the quiz over, and it doesn't erase any wrong answers. They still count toward your score.
Time
There's no time limit. Take the time you need. The time you spend on each question is recorded for your teacher.
Retakes
Each quiz is taken once. After you finish, opening the quiz again shows the QUIZ COMPLETE screen with your results. There's no button to take it again. If something went wrong while you were taking it, talk to your teacher.
See what you missed
After you finish a section, you can review the questions you missed on your Reports page.
In the menu on the left, click Reports.
Open the Coursework tab.
Find the section in the progress table. Finished sections with misses say how many questions there are to review.
Click the arrow beside the section. For each question you missed, you'll see what you picked and the correct answer.
On the Reports page, a score of 80% or higher counts as Mastered. If your class doesn't show quiz scores, the review list won't appear there. See Your Reports page for more.
Quiz protections
While you're taking a quiz, copying and pasting are turned off, and the question hides if you switch to another tab or window. Your name also appears very faintly across the question. These rules keep quizzes fair for everyone. Quiz rules: why copying and pasting is turned off explains each one and what to do if one catches you by mistake.
Tips
Reread the last lesson or two before you start. The questions come straight from the section.
Read every answer choice before you pick. Two choices are often close, and only one is the best answer.
If you miss one, read the reworded version slowly. The new wording can be a clue.
Your answer choices may be in a different order than a friend's, so comparing letters won't help. Comparing ideas will.
Common questions
I got everything right in the end. Why isn't my score 100%?
Because every try counts. If you missed any question before getting it right, those misses are part of your score. Topics Mastered shows that you did clear every question.
Can I retake a quiz to raise my score?
No. Each quiz is taken once. If you think something went wrong, talk to your teacher.
Why is the quiz locked?
Finish every lesson in the section first. If the lock message says your teacher hasn't opened the section, it will open when your teacher is ready.
What if my internet cuts out during a quiz?
Every answer you submitted is saved. Reconnect, open the quiz again, and you'll continue from the question you were on. If something still looks wrong, see My progress or quiz didn't save.
Where can I see the right answers to questions I missed?
On your Reports page, in the Coursework tab, once you've finished the section.
