The "General" section consists of giving your quiz a name and a description, if necessary. Giving the quiz a name is a required field.

The "Question behaviour" section involves describing how the question is shown to the students. The "Shuffle within questions" section is for multiple-choice questions, which allows the selection arrangement to be shuffled. Additional settings include describing how questions behave, allowing question redo within an attempt and attempts building on the last.

The "Review options" is a checklist for how you want the quiz to behave for students in the reviewing process. We recommend going through each checkpoint to see which one you would like enabled.

The "Appearance" section involves aesthetic and functional features which ensure the quiz behaves how you as an academic intend it to. Showing the user's picture is a great way for students to ensure they are logged into the correct Moodle account and taking the exam under their name. Additional, the number of decimal places can be adjusted for grades shown in questions and quiz review. 

"Extra restrictions on attempts" are additional features that can be put in place. We recommend pressing the question mark icon to understand what each function does.
