How to create a quiz in RootWright LMS

A quiz is a lesson whose content is one or more questions. Create the quiz lesson in the course builder, add questions in the lesson's Blocks section, then set the pass percentage and attempts in the quiz settings.

Before you start

• The course must exist. See Add a course.
• Quizzes must be turned on. They are on by default under Settings → Quizzes & assessments.

1. In Curriculum, open a module and choose Quiz from the lesson type dropdown.
2. Type the quiz name and press Enter. The lesson builder opens with Lesson Type set to Quiz.
3. Open Blocks from the left menu.

The Blocks section. The Quiz block holds the questions. Add-a-block buttons sit below it.
