Take a graded or practice quiz in Lena for Students: the rules, the timer, submitting, and when you see your score.
Quiz in the sidebar lists the quizzes from all your courses, on Open, Practice and Past tabs. Every
question is multiple choice. There are two kinds of quiz:
Choose the quiz in Quiz. The Details tab shows the time limit, the total marks, and when it opens and
closes. Choose Start quiz.

Read the rules, then start
The next screen lists the rules. If the quiz closes before your time would run out, it tells you, for example:
“Closes at 10:30, so you’ll have 12 minutes, not 20.” When you’re ready, choose Start quiz. A graded quiz fills
the screen and the timer starts.

Answer the questions
Choose an answer, then Next. Lena saves each answer as soon as you pick it. On a laptop, you can also press
A to D to pick an answer, and N or P for the next or previous
question.
4
Check the overview
Choose the button that shows your count, like 8/10. It opens the Question overview, which shows the
questions you’ve answered, skipped or not reached yet. Choose a question to go to it.
The overview shows what’s left before you submit.
5
Submit
Choose Submit at the top, then Submit again. Lena tells you how many questions you haven’t answered. Once
you submit, you can’t change your answers.
Submitted. The score comes when your lecturer releases results.
Stay on the quiz. If you switch to another tab or app, or leave fullscreen, Lena makes you wait before you can
carry on. The wait gets longer each time. The timer keeps running while you wait, so turn off notifications before
you start.
The timer turns orange in the last minute and red in the last 30 seconds.
When time runs out, Lena hands in what you’ve answered. You’ll see “Time’s up”.
You can come back. If the quiz page closes by accident, or your phone switches off, open the quiz again and
choose Resume quiz. This works on the same phone or computer, or a different one. (On a different one, the first
button may say Start quiz; the next screen says Resume quiz.) Coming back counts as leaving, so you wait
first. The timer keeps running while you’re away.
You need the internet to start. If you lose it partway through, keep going. Each answer is saved on your phone or computer the moment you choose it: under the question you’ll see “Saved on
this device”, then “Sent” once it reaches Lena. If you hand in while offline, you’ll see “Submission saved”, and Lena
sends it as soon as it can, even if you close the page. Answers you chose before time ran out still count if they get
through shortly after; answers chosen after time is up don’t.
Starting late: if your lecturer allows it, you can start after the end time. The Late entries row on
Details says until when.
For a graded quiz, the Your result tab says “Your results aren’t released yet” at first. Your score appears when
your lecturer releases the results, or when the quiz closes if they’ve set it up that way. Then you see your score, how
long you took, how many you got right, wrong or left out, and each question.
A released result: the score, the breakdown and each question.
