Accessing Quiz Properties

To open the Quiz Properties window, switch to Question List View and click Quiz Properties on the ribbon.

Defining Quiz Information

Select the Quiz Info tab on the left side of the Quiz Properties window, define the following items for your quiz, and click OK.

Quiz Title

The quiz title defaults to the name of your project file, but you can change it to anything you'd like. Changing the title won’t affect the name of your project file. The maximum length for a quiz title is 80 characters.

Tip: To show or hide the title in your published output, see Choosing Player Features.

Passing Score

For graded quizzes, enter the percentage learners must achieve to pass.

Time Limit

If you'd like to add a timer to your quiz, mark the End quiz after box. Enter the maximum number of minutes and seconds allowed to complete the quiz in the corresponding fields. Then select a Timer format.

The timer will display in the upper right corner of your published quiz.

If learners don't complete the quiz in the allotted time, they’ll be interrupted by a time-limit message and taken to the result slide. (Unanswered graded questions will be marked incorrect.)

You can edit the time-limit message in your text labels.

Timer Tips:

The responsive player will always use the time remaining format.
When quizzes are embedded in Articulate Presenter courses, the timer format is controlled by Presenter. See this user guide for details.

Setting Question Defaults

Select the Question Defaults tab on the left side of the Quiz Properties window, then define the default settings for new question slides.

Tip: Existing questions in your quiz won't be affected when you change the default settings, so it's best to set your question defaults before adding slides to your quiz. (You can override the default settings by adjusting the properties for individual slides.)
