I just created a quiz but I cannot figure out how to add points. After I saved and published, the quiz is worth zero points
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hello @tom_olmstead ,
When creating this quiz, are you using New Quizzes or Classic Quizzes? With New Quizzes, there is a Points field in the bottom left corner of each question. You will also want to select an overall point value for the quiz, which can be done by editing the quiz.
In Classic Quizzes, the points field is in the top right corner when each question is created.

Thanks Cody
This quiz is actually an assignment but I made it a quiz so that students would have a 4 hour time limit from between 8 am to 6 pm. I do not know how to make a regular assignment with this time window restriction, hence, I made this a quiz.
I had to create a “fake” yes or no (T/F) question and make it worth the quiz total of 100 pts.
