I
am trying to help a colleague who is using Moodle 3.2 They are brand new
to Moodle and they have a question bank with 47 questions and want to know how
to limit the quiz to ten questions for each attempt. They have already created a quiz. They cannot find where to make the attempts only ten questions for each quiz.
Any help appreciated.
Thanks
Rik
Two steps to creating a quiz. 1) Add the quiz activity to a topic in Moodle and define the general characteristics of the quiz. At this point, there are no questions in it.
2) Pick the quiz, you should see "Edit Quiz". Pick this, and then add the 10 questions. (see graphic)
Thanks Rick
Do I assume that once the questions have been added "wrong" (number of questions not selected) that it cannot be changed.
I should delete that quiz and make a new one, right?

At this point, you can delete questions one at a time. If you have just 2 or 3 surplus questions, this could be more efficient than starting from scratch.
However, in my own experience, I find it faster to create a new quiz and then add the correct questions.
Also, since I like to apply the same quiz settings, what I really do is to create a quiz, but before adding questions, duplicate this quiz for each topic. Then I know that I have the correct quiz settings throughout my course. Then, I edit the quiz name and due dates, and finally add the correct questions. This process is most efficient for me.
These days, you can efficiently delete many questions from a quiz. Use the 'Select multiple' button. (It's visible in your screen-grab, behind the pop-up.)
Yep, I now see it. (screen shot below shows it better)
Tim, I am always please with these new quiz features. It shows several things: 1) there is always room for improvement, and 2) moodle developers really do listen to users and make improvements.
A couple weeks ago I was at a one-day seminar that was focusing on the product "Canvas." In one presentation, a Canvas employee was showing some of the soon to come new features for quizzes within Canvas. What went through my mind was "Hmmm, someone in Canvas is finally looking a Moodle's quiz features and trying to duplicate them." Well, Canvas has a lot of catching up to do.
Also, last summer I attended the Blackboard (MoodleMoot US) conference. The newest Blackboard Ultra product only has three types of quiz questions! How's that for their newest product?
Rick, not that I am promoting Blackboard, but there are at least 17 types of question in Ultra listed in 2015:
