This process covers adding questions to a quiz already you've already created, and assumes you also have questions ready in your question bank.
There are three major steps to creating a quiz:

This video walks through adding questions to a quiz:
You can get to the screen to edit your quiz different ways:
If there are no questions, click the Add question button:
If there are questions already on your quiz, click the Questions tab in the menu along the top:
Either will land you on the Questions screen, where you can add/remove questions, control pagination, create section headings for your quiz, set the max grade for your quiz, adjust points awarded for each question, and control shuffling and randomization of questions:
Check the Shuffle option at the top to shuffle all questions on the quiz. If you've added a section to your quiz, you can also tick Shuffle within the section to shuffle only the questions within that section.
Shuffle means that the questions you have placed on the quiz (or within the section) will be displayed in a random order each time the quiz is attempted. In the Shuffle scenario, the questions are not random; only the order they are presented on the quiz is. Placing random questions on the quiz is different, and is discussed below. |

Details for these options are in the sections below. |

The number of questions per page can be as specified in the Settings tab on the quiz, or arranged on the Questions page with the add/remove page break icons at the left.
Move questions up or down by dragging the move icon (cross with arrows in 4 directions).
Questions can be moved to different pages and sections.
Page breaks can be added or removed by the icons to the left and between the move icons.
You can create a new question from scratch here (strongly not recommended), which you can save in the Question bank (by choosing a category under Course) or save it with the Quiz (by choosing Default for [Quiz name]).
It is strongly recommended that you add all of your questions in the Question bank, and not compose them in the context of adding a quiz. If you create/save questions to the Quiz and not to the Question bank, you can move them later, but it's not straightforward. What's worse, those questions will only be available on THAT quiz until/unless you move them. Not helpful when you want to re-use questions from all the quizzes on the final exam. So, get in the habit of keeping the three steps separate and in order: Create the Question bank, Create the Quiz, and Add questions to the Quiz (this page). |
Select a category. Use the dropdown menu to select a category or subcategory in your Question bank, or Filter by tags if your Question bank is set up with tags.
Each Random question you add to your quiz is 1 question randomly selected from the pool of questions you specify. You can add as many Random questions from the same category as there are questions in that category that meet your selection criteria.
The number of questions and the names of the questions that match your selection criteria are displayed.
This screen will let you select a Number of random questions that is larger than the number of questions that meet the selection pool criteria. An error will be displayed when you Preview or Attempt the quiz. Delete random questions from your quiz until there are fewer (or at most as many) than the number of questions in the Question bank that meet the selection criteria. |
NOTE: It is highly recommend that instructors always preview the quiz before making it available to students.
To preview your quiz, select Preview from the gear icon on the main quiz page. Previewing a quiz displays the questions, navigation, and the timer if a time limit has been set.
