Grade Questions Using Timer

Modified on Wed, 5 Nov at 12:29 PM


You can also grade questions using the timer. The timer awards points based on accuracy and speed. 


  1. On - allow answers after time ends: This option displays a visible countdown timer, but answers can be submitted even after the timer runs out. A score of 600 is awarded for answering a question correctly. An additional score of 0-400 is awarded based on how quickly students answer. Wrong answers are marked zero, regardless of the time taken to answer.

  2. On - lock answers after time ends: This option displays a visible countdown timer, and answers cannot be submitted after the timer runs out. A question is 'timed out' if students exceed the time limit in answering a question. Timed-out questions are marked zero. A score of 600 is awarded for correct answers. 

  3. Off: This option disables the timer. Students are awarded a score of 600 for the right answer and 0 for the wrong answer, regardless of their speed.

Note: Incorrect answers and 'timed out' questions always get 0 points.
