How Moodle quiz attempts fit into your question bank

Teachers configuring Moodle quiz attempts usually spend the most time on the questions themselves, not the settings. Attempts, grading and review options only work as well as the question bank behind them, so a solid set of questions matters first.

Set Attempts allowed to match whether the quiz is practice or graded.
Choose a grading method such as highest grade, average grade, first attempt or last attempt.
Use review options to decide when students see correct answers and feedback.
Generate a fresh question set from your notes so each attempt draws on the same material.
