Take a test or quiz (learner)

LearnerUpdated September 20, 2026

This article covers taking a test — starting, submitting, and reading your score.

Before you start

You need to be enrolled in the course. Some tests have prerequisites within the course; you cannot start until they are done.

Step 1 — Open the test unit

The test appears as a unit in the course outline with a distinctive icon. Click it and the intro screen shows the pass mark, time limit (if any), and how many attempts you have left.

Learner My Courses grid

My Courses is the learner's grid of everything they are currently enrolled in.

Step 2 — Take the test

Click Start attempt. Answer each question and use Next to move on. The timer, if any, counts down in the header. You can pause between questions on most tests; do not close the tab mid-test or the attempt is submitted as-is.

Assessment builder with the question list on the left

The builder combines the settings panel and the question list on a single screen.

Step 3 — Read your result

Submit at the end. The results screen shows your score, whether you passed, and (where the author allowed it) a review of each question with the correct answer. If you failed and have attempts remaining, retake immediately or come back later.

Notes

  • Short-answer questions may be pending until an instructor grades them — your final score is provisional until then.
  • Passing a test that awards a skill grants that skill on submission — check My Skills.
