Add Questions into a Quiz in Moodle

Quizzes in Moodle can help assess student learning. They can be used as a formative exercise that includes feedback and multiple attempts or a summative test with a strict time limit and shuffled questions. Learn how to add questions to quizzes with this article. For more information on quizzes, please visit our Getting started article here, or our article on creating quizzes here. For information beyond these articles, please visit Moodle documentation here.

1. Navigate to the course containing your quiz, and click on your quiz.

2. Adding questions to an empty quiz vs. a quiz containing questions is different. See below for  how to navigate that difference.

• To add questions to an empty quiz, click "Add question".

• To add questions to a quiz already containing questions, click "Questions".

• At the bottom of the question list, click "Add" and then choose the question type. If you are creating new questions, select "+ a new question".
