How to prepare for a Moodle quiz in a PolyMTL course

Your course's Moodle quiz at PolyMTL is written by your instructor, so the official questions are not something a study tool can hand you. What helps is practicing on the same topics, in the same question styles, using the material your course actually covers.

  • Upload the exact slides or readings the quiz will cover.
  • Mix multiple choice with open questions to match the exam style.
  • Read every explanation, including the ones for questions you got right.
  • Retake weak topics after a few days instead of rereading everything.
Example Moodle quiz practice questions
What is the difference between a question bank and a quiz in Moodle?A question bank stores questions you can reuse, and a quiz selects questions from it. Keeping questions in the bank lets you build several quizzes from one set.
Which Moodle question type lets blanks sit inside a paragraph of text?Embedded answers (Cloze) is the type that places blanks inside the text of one question. It is useful when a single passage needs several linked answers.
What does the Moodle quiz setting Attempts allowed control?It sets how many times a student can submit the quiz. Setting it to 1 gives a single graded try.
What does a numerical question in Moodle check?It checks whether the student's number falls within an accepted tolerance around the correct value. This allows small rounding differences, such as 9.8 with a tolerance of 0.1.
Why do instructors use Moodle XML files for questions?Moodle XML lets you import and export whole sets of questions between question banks. This saves time when moving questions between courses or reusing them across terms.
Generate the full set

Multiple choice, true/false and open questions

Pick the question types that match how your Moodle course tests you.

Explanations for every answer

Each question shows why the correct answer is right, so wrong answers become study notes.

Moodle XML export on Pro

How it works

Upload your material

Add a PDF, slide deck, DOCX file, plain-text notes or a photo of a page.

Choose question types

Select multiple choice, true/false or open questions and how many you want.

Practice and review

Answer in the browser, read the explanations, and export when you are on the Pro plan.

Start with the lecture slides and readings listed for the weeks the quiz covers. Generate a set, answer it without looking at the notes, and spend most of your time on the explanations for questions you missed.

Repeat with fresh questions a few days later. Repeated short sessions usually work better than one long cram before the deadline.
