Students tell me that when they are taking the quiz that the timer is covering vital information. This starts to look like a resolution or screen size question but before I take it to IT, I would like to know if this is a moodel issue first. I have been assured that the screen is full size.

I switched over to studetn role but it does happen for me.

It was an issue in 1.9. Discussed many times in this forum, so google for answers.

This happened to us at our school.  We found two possible solutions.  1.  change screen resolution.  2.  scroll your mouse up or down (scroll page)... the timer appeared to move when we did that...

I used this tweak to fix this problem.

*Open file "quiz.js" with some xml editing software/notepad and edit the following:

(line 86) pos += 100

Replace 100 with -25 or try some other value that suits you. You will be pleased with the result.

* "quiz.js" is located at "server/moodle/mod/quiz/quiz.js"

Thank you.
