You can access a quiz from the Modules index page or the Course Navigation page if it has the Quizzes link. After clicking the title of the quiz, click the Take the Quiz button to get started.

At any point during the quiz, you can view a summary of your quiz [2]. Questions you've answered will be identified by a checkmark icon, while unanswered questions will be bolded and identified by a question mark icon.

You'll also see a timer showing your progress on the quiz. For untimed quizzes, the quiz shows as the elapsed time. If you are taking a timed quiz, the timer shows the running time and counts down until time expires.

You can flag the questions you want to go back to by clicking the flag by the question [1]. The flag will change color to yellow to remind you to finish the question. The yellow flag will also appear in the question overview in the sidebar [2].

Canvas will save your quiz as you go through it. When you are finished, you must click the Submit Quiz button. If you start a quiz that has a due date, but do not finish the quiz by the due date, Canvas will automatically submit the quiz on the due date.
