Example Moodle quiz questions and answers

In Moodle, where are reusable quiz questions stored before you add them to a quiz?The question bank. Questions are kept separate from quizzes so one question can be reused in several quizzes.

Which Moodle question type lets students fill in blanks inside a passage of text?Cloze. It embeds answer fields directly in the text, which suits fill-in-the-blank practice within a paragraph.

What does the Shuffle the choices option do in a Moodle multiple-choice question?It randomizes the order of answer options for each attempt. This stops students from relying on the position of the correct answer.

Which Moodle question type accepts a typed response and matches it against a list of accepted answers?Short answer. It grades typed responses against the accepted answers you list, and you can set whether matching is case sensitive.

What file format does Moodle use to import a batch of quiz questions in one upload?Moodle XML. It is an XML file that carries many questions with their answers and feedback, so a whole set can be loaded at once.
