Quiz Timer

Suggest another option for Overall time to be set for the complete quiz as well, no matter how much time the user will take in one question he should complete the whole quiz within the given timespan, and in case questions are left un-answered then it will be considered to 0 marks for the un-answered question.

Kind Regards,

To implement a feature where the overall time for completing the entire quiz is limited, regardless of the time taken per question, you might need to consider the following approach:

  1. Quiz Timer: Introduce a timer that starts as soon as the user begins the quiz. This timer should count down from the overall time allotted for the quiz.

  2. Question Navigation: Allow users to navigate between questions freely during the quiz. Each question should be presented with an indication of the time remaining for the entire quiz.

  3. Automatic Submission: Once the overall time limit is reached, automatically submit the quiz regardless of whether all questions have been answered.

  4. Scoring Algorithm: For unanswered questions, assign a score of 0. This ensures that questions left unattended within the time limit are penalized accordingly.

  5. Feedback: Provide feedback to users indicating that the quiz has been automatically submitted due to reaching the time limit. Display their score and highlight any unanswered questions.

  6. Customization: Provide options for instructors to customize the time limit for each quiz and adjust the scoring algorithm if necessary.

Implementing these features would ensure that users are aware of the time limit for completing the quiz, and their performance is accurately reflected based on the questions they answer within that timeframe.
