§ 01Create a quiz
Open CBT, pick a class, and press New quiz. Choose the Subject, give it a Title, set Total points and a Duration (minutes), optionally a due time and instructions, then press Create quiz.
§ 02Add questions
The quiz editor opens. Add each question, choosing a type:
- MCQ — single answer (one correct answer)
- MCQ — multiple answers (one or more correct)
- True / False
Type the prompt, add options with Add option, and mark the correct answer(s). Use the reorder and delete controls to arrange items. Your draft autosaves as you write.
§ 03Publish it
When the questions are ready, publish the quiz from the editor header. You'll be warned that you can't edit questions after this. Once published, enrolled students see it until its due time; you can Close quiz to end it early.
§ 04Review attempts
Open View results on a published quiz to see each student's attempt and score. Multiple-choice and true/false answers are graded automatically; open an attempt to see the per-question breakdown.
§ 05Reset an attempt
If a student needs another go — a genuine technical issue, say — use Reset attempt on their attempt so they can retake the quiz.
