Schedule a Custom Quiz

The scheduling process allows you to set a specific time when students can take a custom quiz. You may choose a specific day and time that corresponds to a class period so students take the quiz during class. Otherwise, you can select a time period so students can take the quiz anytime within several days, a week, or a month.
