Tests in Moodle support the self-learning phase of students. Different question types are possible:

  * Single and multiple choice questions
  * Cloze questions
  * Drag-and-drop tasks
  * Questions that require calculated answers. 

Students can get immediate feedback in quiz mode or receive a later evaluation in exam mode. \\

Setting up tests is done in two steps:

  - Test [[en/moodle/tests/start#set_up_and_configure|set up and configure]]
  - [[en/moodle/tests/questions/start#create_and_compile_test_questions|Create and compile test questions]] 

===== Set up and configure =====

  - In edit mode: **Select Create Material or Activity** and add a **Test**.
  - **Configure** the **Test** activity.

Depending on the planned setting (from self-test to e-exam), very different settings are possible. The settings for a simple self-test are described below; unless otherwise described, the default settings are used. 

  * **Name** (mandatory field)
Enter name, appears on the course page.
  * **Description**
Enter information for students, e.g. what type of test scenario it is.
  * **Time**
No changes (no time limit). 
  * **Scoring** 
No changes (best attempt will be scored).
  * **Question order** 
No changes (students may navigate freely between questions).
  * **Question behaviour**  
Formative self-monitoring: Students can have their answers checked immediately and receive feedback on their answers. Questions can be answered multiple times.
    * Question behaviour: "Multiple answer (with hints)".
    * Allow re-working in an attempt: "Students are allowed to repeat other versions of completed questions".
    * Each attempt is based on the previous one: "Yes".

  * **Review options**. 
Set all crosses except for "Correct answer".
  * **Overall feedback** 
After answering all questions, feedback on the test as a whole can be deposited depending on the score achieved. \\


**Save settings** with "Save and display". Test questions can then be created.
