1. Pay attention to the date, time limit, and number of attempts the quiz has. For example a quiz may be open from 8:00am to 8:00pm but have a time limit of 20 minutes. This means that you must begin the quiz after 8:00am and complete it before 8:00pm.
2. Some instructors provide a practice quiz. Always try this one first if available.
3. Opt for a landline connect and do not depend on wireless for quizzes, especially for longer exams or those that include essay questions.
4. Remember, all searched web pages you travel to within your course will be logged and recorded as you complete the exam. If your exam is closed book, do not load other pages outside of the quiz until you finish the quiz.
5. Try to find a quiet location without distraction or interruptions so the time limit is not wasted.
6. If you experience a technical difficulty, such as an internet outtage or a computer failure, contact your instructor as soon as possible to discuss what to do.

Quizzes can be set up two ways, which has an impact on saving and completing the quiz.

1. Sequential navigation requires the student to answer questions in order. (Example: Question 1, Question 2, Question 3, etc.). Selecting the Next button at the bottom of the page saves and locks the page, then takes you to the next page. Moving backward within the quiz is disabled. When on the last page of the quiz use the Finish attempt link in the Quiz navigation box to complete the quiz.
2. Free navigation lets stundents answer questions in no particular order. (Example: Question 2, Question 30, then Question 13). When you have finished answering all questions, save using the Finish attempt link in the Quiz navigation box.

Once you have completed the quiz, click Submit all and finish to submit your exam. Timed quizzes are usually automatically submitted at the end of the time limit, regardless of whether you finished the exam.
