You can edit a quiz after it is has been attempted by a learner. Brightspace logs a quiz attempt as any quiz that is started (in-progress) or completed (submitted) by a learner.

Important: D2L recommends careful consideration before editing quiz questions or quizzes that have been released to learners and have learners attempts in-progress or completed.

Edit attempted quiz due dates and time limits
The following applies to edits to the due date and time limits of quizzes with learner attempts:
- Existing due dates and time limits are locked at the time the learner starts a quiz attempt.
- Settings applied after the quiz started will apply to the attempt except in the case of accommodations and special access.
- Only new quiz attempts will use the updated due date and time limit settings.
Edit attempted quiz scores and grading
Changes that alter the score or grading method of quiz questions apply only to the edited version of the quiz for future attempts.
The following types of edits to quiz questions can change the overall grade of a quiz.
- Changing the points associated with a question in a quiz
- Adding or removing a question
- Changing the bonus status of a question
Quiz content and score edits do not apply to completed attempts or attempts in progress. Previous quiz attempts reflect the quiz content and scoring as it appeared to each learner at the exact time they started their attempt.
Overall grade calculations appear as follows for edited quizzes with unaltered previous attempts:
- When using the Highest Attempt, First Attempt, Last Attempt, and Lowest Attempt methods, the learner's actual attempt numerator and denominator are used to calculate the Overall Grade. The denominator in Overall Grade for previous attempts is not changed by edits that alter the quiz score for future attempts. The Overall Grade is determined by the highest percentage score across all attempts.
- For the Average Attempt method, the learner's percentage scores are averaged and displayed using the denominator of the most recently edited version of the Quiz.
Update grades for all attempts of a quiz question
You can directly alter learner grades on specific questions in previous attempts on an edited quiz using Update All Attempts.
