Add a new question to a quiz

For staff on how to add a new question to a Moodle quiz.

This page assumes that you have already created a Quiz activity in your Moodle paper, and explains how to create and add questions directly to your Quiz, or select a Question bank question and add it into your Quiz.

Question Bank

The Question Bank is the best way to organise your Moodle quiz questions. It makes them easier to find and reuse. Our Question Bank help pages include:

  1. In your Moodle paper, select the Quiz name.
  2. On the left of the page, select Add question, or alternatively select the Questions tab under the quiz name.
  3. On the right-hand side of the page, select Add, and then select + a new question.

Note:
If you have already created questions in the question bank, use the + from question bank option.

  1. In the QUESTIONS menu, select a question type, then at the bottom right select Add.
     .
  2. Name and edit the question, then repeat this process to populate your Quiz.

Note:

  • For help on creating other question types, see Question types.
  • You may want to preview questions, or preview the whole quiz.
