Définition d'une limite de temps pour les quiz MemberPress

A quiz time limit sets how long students have to complete a quiz. When the time runs out, MemberPress submits the quiz automatically.

This document explains how a quiz time limit works and how to set one up. It also describes what students see during a timed quiz.

Remarque : Cette option est disponible avec les formules « Growth » et « Scale » de MemberPress. Si vous êtes abonné à la formule « Launch », vous pouvez mettre à niveau le forfait MemberPress pour l'utiliser.

Conditions préalables

Quiz time limits require the MemberPress Cours complémentaires et le Complément d'information sur les questionnaires de cours. They are available in Course Quizzes version 1.4.0 and later.

How a Quiz Time Limit Works

The time limit applies to each quiz attempt. The clock starts when the student starts the quiz. At that moment, MemberPress sets a fixed deadline for the attempt.

Because the deadline is fixed, the clock keeps running when the student leaves the quiz page. After a page reload, the timer shows the correct remaining time.

Quiz time limits are off by default. A time limit of 0 minutes and 0 seconds means the quiz has no limit.

A quiz time limit works differently from a minimum time on a lesson. A lesson timer pauses when the student leaves the lesson. A quiz timer never pauses.

Setting a Quiz Time Limit

To set a time limit for a quiz:

1. Open the quiz editor through the course curriculum. You can also navigate to Tableau de bord > Cours MP > Quiz and click the quiz title.
2. In the right sidebar, expand the Paramètres panneau.
3. Sous Délai, saisissez le procès-verbal dans le PROCÈS-VERBAL champ et les secondes dans le SECONDES domaine.

4. Cliquez sur Économiser. If the quiz is still a draft, click Publier ou Sauvegarder le projet au lieu de cela.

To remove the time limit, set both fields to 0.

What Students See

During a timed quiz, a bar at the top of the page shows the remaining time. The browser tab title also shows it.

Students can submit the quiz at any time before the time runs out.

When the Time Runs Out

MemberPress saves answers automatically while the student works on the quiz. It saves an answer when the student selects an option or types into a field.

When the timer reaches zero, MemberPress submits the quiz and grades the saved answers. This also happens when some required questions have no answers. The student then sees the quiz results. Changes made after the time runs out do not count.

A student may leave the quiz and return after the deadline. In that case, MemberPress submits the attempt with the answers saved so far.

Time Limits and Retakes

If the quiz allows retakes, each retake starts with the full time limit. Learn more about quiz retakes and attempt history.
