How do I take a quiz where I can only view one question at a time?

Your instructor may choose to build quizzes that show one question at a time. This means you will receive only one quiz question on your screen at a time instead of all questions posted at once.

Note: Your instructor may be using an upgraded quiz tool called New Quizzes in your course. If the quiz you are accessing displays differently, your instructor may have used the New Quizzes tool to create the quiz. Functionality may differ between these quiz types. For help with viewing one quiz question at a time, please see How do I take a quiz where I can only view one question at a time in New Quizzes?.

Navigate Questions in Sidebar

You can also use the sidebar links for quicker navigation between questions. The question mark icon shows the questions you still need to answer while the checkmark icon shows you the questions you have answered. If your instructor allows you to return to prior questions, you may return to a previously answered question by clicking the link to that question.
