Moodle: Activities & Resources: Adding Quiz Questions to a Quiz


After creating a Quiz, you must add questions to it. You can create new questions inside the quiz or in the question bank, and you can add older questions from the question bank inside the quiz. When you create a new question inside the quiz, it is automatically added to your question bank.

Note: Because questions are pulled from the question bank, any changes that are made to the question will affect all quizzes where that question is being used. You can duplicate questions within the question bank if you want to create different versions of them.

To Add Quiz Questions Inside a Quiz:

  1. In your course, click on the quiz within the course where you wish to add questions. If your quiz has no questions yet, you can click on the Add questions button to create questions:

    Another option is to open the Quiz administration menu (gear icon) in the top right corner and click the Questions link.
