What is a quiz?

A Quiz is a standalone assessment in Juno. Quizzes can exist on their own or be embedded inside a Course or Journey. They support multiple question types, configurable scoring, time limits, and retry policies.

Quiz settings

The settings panel has 3 tabs for quizzes: General, Quiz Behavior, and Permission & Control.

​

General tab

Same as courses: title, description, tags, difficulty level, language.

​

Quiz Behavior tab

Attempts limit:

• Number of times a learner can attempt the quiz
• Range: 1–5
• Default: 3
• Quiz locks when limit is reached

Time limit (minutes):

• Time allowed per attempt
• Default: 60 minutes
• Can be disabled for unlimited time

Passing grade:

• Minimum percentage to pass (1–100)
• Default: 80%

Shuffle answers for Multiple Choice Questions:

• Randomizes the answer options within each multiple choice question (not the question order)
• Only visible if enabled by your admin

Grade reveal — controls when learners see their results: Due dates (if enabled):

• Same as courses: None, Specific date, or Relative date
• With notification toggles

​

Permission & Control tab

Same as courses: co-editors, audience, validators, validation mode (Manual/Auto/Recommend), privacy settings, access restriction.

Time limit behavior

When a quiz has a time limit, a countdown timer appears in the unit’s top bar from the moment the learner opens the first question.

​

How the countdown works

​

Time limit vs. Time Spent

These are two separate measurements — see How “Time Spent” is measured for the full breakdown. Two things follow:

1. Time Spent on a quiz attempt can be much lower than the time limit if the learner was idle.
2. Time Spent caps at ~60 min for a single continuous attempt. A 90-minute quiz with full engagement throughout will still report Time Spent ≈ 60 min — because the whole quiz is one section and the cap is per-section. The quiz submission is unaffected; only the analytics column stops accumulating.

The tracking mechanism itself is identical to courses — the same per-section heartbeat hook runs for every unit type. The only reason a quiz behaves differently in practice is that a quiz is usually a single continuous section, while a course is split across many.

​

Submitting before time runs out

The learner can submit at any point via the Submit button. A confirmation dialog shows:

• How many questions remain unanswered
• How much time is left on the countdown

Taking a quiz (learner view)

When you open a quiz, you’ll see:

• Passing grade required (or “No passing grade”)
• Attempts remaining (or “Unlimited attempts”)
• Time limit (or “Unlimited time”)
• Number of questions

After submitting:

• Auto-graded questions are scored immediately
• Open questions wait for validation
• You’ll see your score once results are released (based on grade reveal setting)
• If you didn’t pass and have retries left, you can attempt again

When the quiz is a step inside a Journey, the step button shows Pending review while a validator is still reviewing your open answers — see Step button states.

​

When an admin reopens a quiz

Admins can reopen a quiz attempt for a learner from the analytics view. When this happens, the learner’s answers are unlocked for editing while their per-question grades are preserved — so the analytics view continues to show which questions were answered correctly before the reopen. The quiz’s overall completion is cleared and the learner can re-submit.
