Graded vs practice quizzes

TypePurpose
Graded quizCounts toward your final course grade. Contributes to the quiz average in your grade calculation
Practice quizFor learning only — does not affect your grade. Great for self-testing
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.
