How to set up an ungraded Moodle quiz

Setting up an ungraded Moodle quiz works best when the questions are written for practice rather than assessment. Moodle does not have a single ungraded switch, so most teachers keep the quiz as a formative activity and control how grades and feedback appear.

Set review options so students see feedback and correct answers after the attempt.
Allow multiple attempts so practice can be repeated until the material sticks.
Shuffle questions so students cannot memorize the order.
Hide the quiz grade or exclude its category from the course total if it should not count.

Example Moodle quiz settings for ungraded practice

What is the difference between adaptive mode and deferred feedback in a Moodle quiz?Adaptive mode gives feedback during the attempt, while deferred feedback shows results only after submission. Deferred feedback suits practice where students should think through the whole quiz first.

Which Moodle setting controls whether students see correct answers after an attempt?Review options control what students see and when, including feedback and correct answers. Teachers can show them immediately, later or after the quiz closes.

Why might a teacher allow unlimited attempts on a Moodle practice quiz?Unlimited attempts let students retake the quiz until they master the material. This suits formative use where the goal is learning rather than a score.

Does Moodle have a single setting that makes a quiz ungraded?No single toggle exists. Teachers usually hide the grade item or give its gradebook category zero weight so the quiz does not affect the course total.

What does shuffling questions do in a Moodle quiz?It randomizes question order for each attempt. Students cannot rely on remembering question positions, which encourages understanding over memorization.
