3. Review Options
The Review Options section of quiz settings are used to determine what elements of a quiz a learner can see, and when. There are four distinct phases of most quizzes: during a quiz attempt, immediately after the attempt, later on while the quiz is still open, and then once it is closed.
Special Note: "Immediately after the attempt" begins immediately after a quiz is submitted, and last for two minutes. After those two minutes expire, the phase changes to "Later, while the quiz is still open".
Let's cover the options available here in this collapsible section of your quiz settings.
-
Review options defined The attempt Will show how the student responded to each question Whether correct Displays whether the students' response to each question is correct or incorrect Points Reveals the marks awarded to the student and the grade for the quiz Specific feedback Will show the feedback for the response to the answer as set when adding the question to the quiz. Each response to a question can have feedback for both correct and incorrect answers General feedback Displays the general feedback for the whole question as set when adding the question to the quiz. You can use the general feedback to give students some background to what knowledge the question was testing Right answer Reveals the correct answer to each question, whether the student answered correctly or not Overall feedback Displays feedback for the entire quiz as set in the quiz settings
For each of the above items, you can determine the timeframe when the learners will see them:
- During the attempt
- is only available when ‘How questions behave’ has been set to ‘Immediate feedback’, ‘Immediate feedback with CBM’ and ‘Interactive with multiple tries’. If set to one of these options then a ‘Check’ button will appear below the answer and when clicked the learner will submit that response and then receive immediate feedback.
- Immediately after the attempt
- means within 2 minutes of the student clicking "submit all and finish".
- Later, while the quiz is still open
- means after 2 minutes, but before the close date (if the quiz does not have a close date, this phase never ends).
- After the quiz is closed
- means what it says (you must enable a close date and time for your quiz for this option to work).
- Tip: Checking any of the boxes in the timeframe row will reveal the test to the student. For example, to allow students to see their quiz immediately after taking it but not later, make sure none of the boxes in "Later" or "After" rows are checked. The student will be able to see their grade but not get into the quiz.

- If you or your learners cannot find the quiz grade(s) in the gradebook, reviewing the Review Options settings should be part of your troubleshooting. One of the most common culprits is setting grades to be visible after the quiz is closed, but not adding a close date and time for the quiz in the Timing section. Setting a close date and time will allow the grades to be displayed in the gradebook (assuming the date and time you've set has been met).
