For your convenience, End-of-Chapter quizzes for Excel, PowerPoint, Word, etc. are already created and ready for you to schedule. The scheduling process allows you to set a specific time when students can take an end-of-chapter quiz. You may choose a specific day and time that corresponds to a class period so students take the assessment during class. Otherwise, you can select a time period so students can take the assessment anytime within several days, a week, or a month.
