In general, quizzes help determine what students have learned. A well-designed test can give critical information about a student's understanding of the material.


Feedback about performance and self-assessment are important parts of a learning environment. There are several ways to give feedback to students: on each question or overall. The quiz module can display feedback and scores at different times during the quiz, using the review options.


A wide variety of [[Quiz reports]] (in addition to [[Grades]]) are available. Quiz reports not only can focus on a single student's attempt to answer each question, but also can perform a robust analysis of a question's validity based upon aggregated student responses.

Moodle’s quiz module has a large number of options and tools. For example, quizzes with different question types can be randomly generated from [[Question bank|categories]] of questions. Students can be allowed repeated attempts at a question; they can also be allowed to retake a quiz multiple times.

When the computer does the work for you, it’s easy to give students a chance to practice taking a test, or to give frequent small quizzes. You can explore how to apply these advantages on the [[Effective quiz practices]] page.
