Printing quiz, with answers, without a plugin, after students have viewed/taken a quiz

I've Google'd around but never managed to find an easy answer to the question of how to print quiz and answers, after the students have started taking the quiz, so I thought I'd note that here.

1. Make a copy of the quiz that is already in Moodle and whose questions and answers you want to print.  Locate the quiz, click on the three stacked dots to the right of the quiz.  (You need to make a copy since you can’t change pagination between questions once students have looked at or taken the quiz.)

2.  Change the “settings” for the copy of the quiz that you just made (which is just another Moodle quiz)

  • In quiz settings, for the copy of the quiz,  under the timing make sure the timing option is set so the quiz is not visible to students.
  • In quiz settings, for the copy of the quiz, choose the layout option. Select “Never, all questions on one page.” And tick the “repaginate now”.  Now there will be no new pages between questions, and your questions will all appear in a single webpage when you preview it (below).
  • In the quiz settings, for the copy of the quiz, choose review optionUnderImmediately after the attempt” check/tick the “right answer”box. Youalso need to check/tick the “The attempt” box.
  • Choose “Save settings and return to course” at bottom of the page.

3. Preview the exam.  Click on the quiz, which brings up a page like below for the quiz copy that you created.  Click “preview quiz” at bottom of page

 4. Submit the exam.  Go to bottom of preview page, you don’t need to click on any answers. Click the “Finish attempt” button,  which will bring you to another page letting you know that you’ve not yet answered each question.  Click on “submit all and finish” button at the bottom of the page.  You’ll get a warning that you’ve not answer the questions.  But that’s OK since you’re the prof.  Click on this second “submit all and finish” button

5.  Yay! Now you’ve got all of the questions, with the correct answer for each question shown after the question.  Collapse as many Moodle sidebars and menus as possible, so just the questions and the answers are visible. Print to PDF from the browser.

 6.  Delete the copy of the quiz, as you’ve got the original.
