Quiz

Hi

I use Moodle version 1.8.1 .A basic question... In the quiz module ...
while updating we can set the time limit .. what are the units mins or secs ?


The test I give is for continuous period of 4 hrs as it supposed to replicate a mock exam for certification of same time limit .

After students save and submit .... we get a zero after they complete the full 4 hrs .Ideally if they do not click submit and finish the quiz should take whatever has been answered and report as a score and quiz should also close automatically .This is not happenning .

I tried as a test by lgging as a fictious student for shorter periods and when I save and submit it does report the scores .no problem . So why does it not work when the time is extend to 4 hrs ?

In the earlier version which I was using (1.6) the whole quiz was working perfectly .

I also do not clearly understand some of the statements below taken from moodle docs

1)When the timer has run out, the quiz is submitted automatically with whatever answers have been filled in so far
2) If a student manages to cheat and spends more than 60 seconds over the allotted time then the quiz is automatically graded zero


I need guidance and help here .Looking forward to a reply

Thanks
