This guide covers how to use overrides to give specific students (or groups of students) different quiz settings. For example, you might use this if you want to open a quiz early for a specific student, have different due dates for different class sections, or accommodate extra time for quiz attempts.
Overrides allow you to change the following settings:
- Open the quiz date
- The first day / time students will be able to attempt the quiz.
- Close the quiz date
- The last day / time students will be able to submit the quiz. This is also the the day / time that displays to students on the quiz page and in the Moodle Calendar.
- Time limit
- How long students have to submit the quiz after they’ve started.
- Attempts allowed
- How many times students can attempt the quiz.
This guide shows how to have a different quiz close date for a specific individual, but the process is the same for overriding other quiz settings. Note that you cannot override the “Expect completed on” date.
