Just prior to the exam
- Students should login to Moodle as they arrive, navigate to the course and click on the exam link. Moodle is available here: www.ucl.ac.uk/moodle
- Do you know what the quiz access password is? It may be written below.
- The e-exam attendance sheet should be filled in by each student and their ID cards checked by an invigilator:
If you do not have a copy of the attendance sheet you can download it here and print it:

Beginning of the exam
There should be an access password for the Moodle quiz. Announce this password to students at the beginning of the quiz so they can begin answering the questions.
Quiz password (keep this secure):
If you have not been provided with the access password see p2 for details on how to find it.
Before students leave the exam
- Ensure each student has submitted their quiz before leaving the exam (see p2 for details)
Troubleshooting
Students have forgotten their password
Students should have been reminded to check their password before the exam. If they can’t log in to a PC, the tutor/course admin can log in to a PC for them. To log in to Moodle you should telephone the ELE team who can provide a temporary Moodle password. DO NOT log them in to Moodle as the tutor because their attempt will not be recorded and they will likely get editing access to the whole course!
I have not been given the access password for the quiz. How do I find out what it is?
- Click on the name of the quiz on the Moodle course page.
- Go to the Settings tab, and then Quiz administration, Edit Settings
- Scroll down to the Extra restrictions on attempts section.
- Click the Unmask checkbox to reveal the password.
A student has submitted their exam before they have actually finished. How do I re-open their attempt?
- You can’t. The only thing you can do is delete the student’s entire attempt and all their submitted answers with it. Call ELE if you want help doing this.
- Warn students to only save and submit early if they are 100% sure they have finished!
- If students are unsure about anything in the exam they should ask an invigilator for assistance.
How do I check whether students have submitted their exam questions for marking?
- Navigate to the quiz.
- Click on the Attempts: *Number* link
- Ensure there is a time listed in the Completed column alongside the student’s name
* A dash indicates the student has not submitted their exam for marking.
