View Current Attempt Time

When a student is actively taking a quiz, the Time column on the Moderate Quiz page shows the quiz timer. Once the time limit ends, the submission appears as Time Up!

For non-timed quizzes, the timer counts down to the quiz Until date. If no Until date is set, it uses the course end date and displays the largest remaining unit, from months down to seconds.

Note: In non-timed quizzes, students see their elapsed time counting up.
