Taking Quizzes/Test Tips
Internet Connection
- If you lose your Internet connection while taking a test in Moodle, your data may be lost. Here’s how you can minimize the risk of losing your connection.
- Use a reliable, high-speed Internet connection
- We do not recommend taking quizzes or exams on a mobile device. However, if you do, ensure your connection will not be broken if your device is in motion.
- Do not wait until the last minute to take the test; have a back up plan in case your computer crashes or you lose your Internet connection
- Close all other programs you have opened on your computer: music, email, instant messengers. Running other applications may lead to data loss while taking a test in Moodle.
- In most cases, one you launch a test, you must complete and submit it within a designated time frame. You will not be allowed to return to the test later. Before attempting a test, be certain you are ready for it and that you have enough time to complete it without interruption.
- If you are using an online proctoring service, use the service’s guide on testing your equipment before the exam.
- Do no open any other window or program while taking a test (unless it is required for the test)
- Be careful when using a mouse with a scroll wheel. Click in a blank area on the test screen before using the scroll wheel to prevent inadvertently changing a response on your test.
- Your test may have multiple pages. If so, you will see a block showing questions on each page.
- Be sure to to review your answers before clicking the Submit all and finish button.
- After submitting the test, you should see a confirmation of your submission and depending on the instructor’s settings, you may be able to review your test.
