Step 2: You can set a standard time limit for every quiz question or select a specific time limit for each question in the pop-up window by toggling to the desired option.

Step 3: Click ‘Save’ to secure the changes.

Important Points:

1. The quiz should not be less than 15 seconds when you want to “Set time per question.”

2. “Set time per question” will only work for the presentation “One Question per page.”

3. The “Allow learner to jump to any question” setting won’t work. You have to keep it off.

That is all about creating a timed quiz.
