Quiz instructions
You should be able to answer all questions in these quizzes after studying their corresponding units.
The practice quizzes usually give you three attempts at each question. After submitting one wrong answer, a hint will appear that gives you a clue to help you answer the question. After submitting two wrong answers, a further hint will appear, including more information to help you with the question. After submitting three wrong answers or a correct answer, a full worked solution will appear.
While working through the questions, press Next to move on to the next question.
Although the questions are presented to you in sequence, it is possible to attempt most of them in any order. To move to a different question, select the relevant question number from the navigation panel on the left-hand side of the screen.
You are advised not to use the 'Back' function on your web browser.
When you have completed the practice quiz and are ready to submit it for marking, please remember to select the Submit all and finish button; otherwise your mark will not be recorded. The Submit all and finish button is located at the bottom of the summary screen. If you have worked through the practice quiz in order, the summary screen will appear automatically once it is completed. If you have answered the questions out of order then it can be accessed at any time by selecting Finish attempt... (on the left-hand side of the screen).
After you have completed all the questions that you want, select Submit all and finish to submit your answers and receive immediate feedback on them. You will be able to attempt and submit practice quizzes as many times as you like.
