Set a time frame; students can start the quiz at any time within this time frame.

Note: When you add start and end dates, students can see the quiz name, but they cannot open the quiz (nor can they see questions) outside that date range. When you add a due date, it serves as a reference only; students can still take the quiz after the due date.

 Determine: How long students have to take the Quiz

Let students know how long they should spend taking the quiz.

Note: A student can exit and return to the quiz as many times as they want until the clock runs out (however, it must be within the quiz's time frame; see Section 3 above).

  1. Select the Restrictions tab.restrictions tab
  1. Decide if the time limit is Recommended or Enforced.
    1. Recommended Time Limit: communicates to students how long you anticipate it will take them to complete the quiz. You have the option of letting them see a countdown clock.
    2. Enforced Time Limit: restricts how long a student has to complete the quiz. The countdown clock is on by default.
