How to Make a Zero Point Quiz

Sometimes you need to allow your students to practice a quiz. Giving them a zero pressure quiz can help. You can achieve this very similarly to making a zero point activity.

• After the quiz has been created and the settings generated, click Save and display.

Another option is to assign a 0% weight to an assignment or quiz you do not wish to be graded. This is helpful if you want students to receive a score but do not wish for it to affect their grades. (i.e. a practice quiz)
