Here you'll see more details related to the quiz. Click on the Take the Quiz button. This will start the clock to the quiz (if it's timed) and you will be actively taking the test.

Saving and Submitting Quizzes

Quizzes are automatically saved as you are working on them. There will be a timestamp underneath the questions that says Saved at [time]. When you flag questions, you can see them in the question bank. The questions that are flagged have the yellow flag icon and become bold. In this example, question 3 and 4 are flagged. It is nice to see what questions you have answered and then you can go back to answer those questions you weren't sure about. Remember, Canvas will autosave your answers if the browser unexpectedly crashes.

Some quizzes will allow you to view the correct answers after you have submitted a quiz. Others are not visible to students. The professor makes the decision whether students are allowed to view quiz results.

If you can retake the quiz, you will see Take the Quiz Again button. Click the link to retake the quiz. You may have to ask the instructor to unlock the quiz for you if you cannot access it.
