Quiz time limit vs close time

Quiz time limit vs close time

Hey!

I want to be able to set an open and close time limiting when a student can start a quiz but without it impacting on the duration of the quiz. For example currently if a student starts a quiz 5 minutes before the close time, they will only get 5 minutes irrespective of the quiz having a duration of 30 minutes.


I understand I probably need a quiz access rule plugin, but I don't know where to start developing here and can't see anything available. So I was curious if its possible to alter the current access rules to change priority given to time limit over close time?

Thanks for any help!

Hi

I believe that this is not yet easily possible from the Test activity
But you can use some tricks to do it

For example, I have set up a 30 minutes test, that should start at 12:00

I put this test in stealth mode (https://docs.moodle.org/310/en/Stealth_activities)
It's available but not displayed to students

I added a label that allows access to it
And I simply put a date restriction on that label, saying that it was displayed from 12:00 to 12:05

It can probably already reduce the delays even if it's not the most technically blocking.
