   This menu displays all the questions in the quiz by number. You can jump to any question by selecting the related question box.
   Answered questions turn dark-grey while unanswered questions remain light grey.
   When you flag a question (see below) it will add a red marker to remind you to return and review that question.
   

    

2. Exit Quiz by selecting "Back" button - this may not be available when using LockDown Browser or if certain restrictions on your Quiz have been set by the instructor.
   The "Back" button allows you to temporarily exit the quiz and resume your attempt at another time.
