Why Moodle quiz results are not showing

Students often hit a wall when Moodle quiz results are not showing after they submit, and the cause is usually a setting rather than a broken quiz. Start with the review options, which decide whether scores appear immediately, while the quiz is open, or only after it closes.

Review options set to hide grades until later
Close date not yet passed for the quiz
Grading method showing a different attempt than expected
Attempt still in progress and not submitted

Example Moodle quiz settings questions

In Moodle, which setting controls whether students see their score and feedback after an attempt?The quiz review options, which set what students can see and when, such as immediately after the attempt or after the quiz closes.

Why might a Moodle quiz show no results to a student even after they submit?The review options may hide results until later, or the quiz close date has not passed yet, so the grade is not released.

What does an attempt marked In progress mean in a Moodle quiz attempts report?The attempt was started but not submitted, so it has no final grade yet until the student submits it or the time limit ends.

Where can a teacher check a student's quiz grade when it is missing from the student's view?The course Grades report, because it shows the stored grade regardless of the quiz review settings the student sees.

What does the Attempts allowed setting control in a Moodle quiz?It limits how many attempts a student can make, and the grading method such as highest, average, first or last decides which attempt's grade counts.

Frequently asked questions

Why does a Moodle quiz show no grade after a student submits?

Usually the review options hide the grade until a later time, or the quiz close date has not passed yet. Check those settings before assuming the attempt failed.

Which grading method should I pick so the right score shows?

Highest grade is the most common choice for practice quizzes because it keeps the best attempt. Average, first attempt and last attempt suit cases where you want a different rule.
