I have created a quiz in Moodle but I now need to move it to another course sub category. When I click on the move option it just moves it within that course
Hello Mike,
I also had the same problem, then I found the way to solve was to create a copy of the quiz and move that copy to the new course.
Try this...

Glad this topic was started...I will probably very soon be dealing with the same issue, so how do you make a copy of a quiz (keeping questions in same order)?

As far as I know, there is no way to copy an entire quiz itself. You can, however, export your questions to a file and then import them to another moodle installation.
I usually create a quiz in one course, importing questions from GIFT files, using categories and, adding graphics files. Then I go to the other course with the same syllabus and add the questions (these questions are ready to go because of the work I did in the first course).
I hope this helps,
Jay

You can copy quizzes using selective backup and restore into existing course.
Thanks Tim, worked like a charm!
Celine,
I am a novice at this - would you be so kind as to tell me, step-by-step, exactly how you did this?
Thank you-
Here's the list of steps I typed up for our staff:
Go to the course you want to copy from
Choose 'Backup'
Unselect everything you don't want (User Data, Users: None, User Files: No, etc.) and click Continue
You'll get a warning. Click Continue
You should get a message about 'Backup successfully created.' Click Continue
Go back to the course you're copying from.
Click Files
Click backupdata (folder)
Locate the backup file. Under Action, click Restore (note, NOT the restorelog.html)
Click Yes
Click Continue
Choose Restore to Existing Course, adding data to it
Type the short name of the course you're copying to
Type the long name of the course you're copying to (not sure if/why these two things are necessary...)
Click Continue
Choose the correct course from the list
Click Restore this course now!
The assignment should now be copied. You'll probably need to move it to the location you want in the new course.
Hope it works! Let me know if anything is missing!
Hi,
thanks for this but I think I tried it already. The reason why I was suggested to link files was because even though I unselected unwantd items (say I only wanted to copy one quiz), Moodle would copy all the quizzes...but I'll give it another go.
Thanks

Hi Eric,
I tried doing the same but i'm not able to restore it to an existing course. It does not give me an option of an existing course.
There are only three options:
1. New course
2. Current course, deleting it first
3. Current course, adding data to it

Hi
Did you include course files in the backup? Might help.

Hello,
When i use this method, the calendar of the target course gets all messed up... any idea why? in the backup i have only selected one quiz, nothing else, no user, no files, no data...
Thank you
You're the man Tim. Didn't know that was possible. Massive time saver.
Hi Ben,
I had the same problem and was suggested to link quizzes from one course to another. Although this solution works, it is not ideal.
Can you tell me what you did to solve the issue?
Thanks

Hollo I'm new to moodle. Tim Hunt can you please tell me how do I do a selective backup and then import to the new course?
Thank you.
hey anyone can help me please. i need create a exam and i dont remember how to do so, also how do you delete a quiz???
Click on the resource, then click backup to just back up that one item. Or you can click on the course in which you'd like the resource, click Import and then select only that item from the other course.
To delete a quiz turn editing on and click on the X next to your quiz. If you are talking about deleting an attempt then you can click on the quiz. Click the attempts, select the one you want to delete and then Delete Selected Attempts.
