    Adaptive mode and Adaptive mode (no penalties) permits students to gave multiple attempts before moving to the next question.
    Immediate feedback option allows students to submit only one response and get it graded immediately during their quiz attempt.
    Immediate feedback with Certainty-based marking not only collates student responses to questions but also demonstrates the certainty of the student that they got the answer correct, to gain insight into the student's perception of their level of knowledge.
    If show more is selected Each attempt builds on the last option is selected. When multiple attempts is permitted and this is set to 'Yes', then the new attempt contains results of the previous attempt, which allows students to focus on previously answered incorrect answers. This means students resume their previous attempt with the exact same questions with random variables and their pre-existing scores. If it is set to 'No' then the new attempt is completely fresh with new questions and values with their score reset.
