FAQ: Quizzes

I am taking a quiz, and ICON won't let me see the next question.

If your instructor has set ICON to display one question at a time and has set a time limit for the quiz, ICON will not display any more questions once you exceed that time limit.

Why should I bother to save my quiz answers? Doesn't ICON save automatically?

Don’t count on ICON to save your answers. Here’s why:

If your instructor has set a time limit for the quiz and you exceed that time limit, ICON does not save your unsaved answers. ICON automatically saves your unsaved answers only if you submit your quiz within the allotted time period.

To be safe, save each answer as soon as you enter it, even if you plan to go back over your answers before submitting your quiz. You can change saved answers so long as you are within the allotted time period for the quiz.

How can I find my quiz results?

Your instructor decides when quiz results are displayed, if at all, and what data (student responses, correct answers, etc.) students can see. If your instructor has made the quiz results available immediately, they will be displayed automatically as soon as you submit your quiz. To view results at a later time, click Quizzes in the NavBar, click the Submissions tab, and click on the attempt number. You may also wish to click the Reports tab to see if your instructor has published any statistics.

I know my answers were correct. Why is my quiz score so low?

Your quiz may include long-answer questions, which cannot be graded automatically. Points for these items will not be added to the total score until your instructor has manually graded them.
