It’s easy to configure your Moodle quizzes to allow individuals or groups to access them at different times or for different amounts of time. This can be useful in several ways, such as:

  1. to meet accommodations for extra-time or extra quiz attempts

  2. to open and close a quiz at different times for groups or sections

Step 1: In your Moodle course, click on your quiz activity.

Step 2: In the Quiz Administration option, click More, then Overrides.

Note: if you want to override specific student/s outside a group, you can use the user overrides option from the drop down.


Step 3: From Override screen, click Add group override.



Step 4: 
From the Override screen, select the group you need to add an override for. Next, configure your override settings.
