Complete your quiz in one sitting

If a quiz is taken over a long period (for example, several hours or days), the session cookie expires and your submission won’t sync to the LMS.

To avoid losing your work or grades not appearing:

  • Complete the quiz in a single sitting.
  • Don’t leave the quiz open for long breaks.
  • Avoid switching browsers, devices, or clearing cookies during the quiz.
  • The session timeout is set by your administrator. The minimum duration is 3600 seconds (1 hour). If you take a break, return to your quiz within that time to stay logged in.
