Choose general quiz settings

Before you can add quizzes to a presentation, you must select a quiz type and specify quiz settings. All quizzes added to a presentation share the same general settings and quiz type.

To update a presentation’s general quiz settings:
  1. On the presentation’s properties page, click Edit Quizzes.
  2. Select a quiz type. Then customize the quiz, as needed, by selecting the various quiz settings.

Quiz Type

Select a quiz type:

  • Study guide: A study guide is an informal quiz that allows your students to measure their understanding and practice the concepts being presented. Students are not required to submit their quizzes. After completing a quiz, students can retake it and change their answers.
  • Assessment: An assessment is a repeatable quiz that measures student comprehension, while allowing them to retake it multiple times. Students only see their total scores after they submit their answers. They are not able to see correct answers for questions or view quiz results for each quiz. After submitting all quizzes, students can reload the presentation to Reset Answers and take all quizzes again.
  • Scored:  A scored quiz is a non-repeatable quiz that measures student comprehension.  Students only see their total scores after they submit all quizzes. They are not able to view correct answers or view individual quiz results.

Students cannot change their answers or retake a quiz after submission.
