​
Multiple attempts

If the quiz allows multiple attempts:
  • You can retake the quiz up to the allowed number of times
  • Your best score or latest score is typically used for grading (depends on teacher settings)
  • Previous attempt details are usually available for review

​
Graded vs practice quizzes

If your teacher offers practice quizzes, take them! They’re a great way to prepare for graded quizzes and exams without any pressure.

​
Troubleshooting

  • Check if the quiz is currently available (it may not be open yet or may have expired) - Make sure you haven’t exceeded the allowed number of attempts - Check your internet connection
If the quiz is timed, it will auto-submit when the time runs out. Always keep an eye on the timer and submit before time expires.
Your teacher may have set the quiz to show results at a later time. Wait until the quiz deadline passes or ask your teacher when results will be available.
