Give the quiz a meaningful Name and use the Description to explain what the students will have to do, e.g. whether they can attempt the quiz multiple times.
Timing
Specific times can be set for when the quiz is accessible for attempts to be made. You can set a time to Open the quiz and Close the quiz. After the closing time, students will not be able to start a new attempt. However, Answers that the student submits after the quiz closing date will be saved but they will be able to continue an existing attemptnot be marked.
After the quiz has closed, you can allow students to see the quiz description and review their attempts based on the settings selected for ‘Review options’ (see below).
You can optionally choose a Time limitafter which Moodle will automatically submit the quiz with answers completed to that point. In the absence of a time limit, students can take as long as they like to complete the quiz prior to the closing time.
The When time expires setting will control what happens if the student fails to submit their quiz attempt before the time expires.

Select the type of question you wish to add from the list of question types and click Add.
Please Note: The question type used for the example below is the ‘Multiple choice’ question.
On the next screen, provide a Question name – the student doesn’t see this but use something that is unique and meaningful for organising quiz questions. Add the question stem to Question text.
...
In the next section, use One or multiple answers to control whether one or more answer options are allowed. Leave Shuffle the choices selected, if the answer options should be shuffled each time the question is displayed. This is useful in exam situations where students might be tempted to look at someone else’s screen. However, it is also useful if students are using the quiz formatively and viewing the questions repeatedly. Use Number the choices if you want other than the default ‘a, b, c’ for answer options.
Then enter the answers, the grade and any specific feedback. In the example below, there is no feedback. This will result in automatic feedback depending on the grade i.e. the answer marked 100% will get a Correct message and the others Incorrect. The exact text of the automatic feedback is set in the Combined feedback section.
