# How do I create a quiz using New Quizzes?

You can create a quiz using [New Quizzes](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Canvas-Basics-Guide/What-is-New-Quizzes/ta-p/17) from the Quizzes page. You can create various types of content in each quiz.

**Note:** New Quizzes is an opt-in tool. If this tool is not available to you, please contact your Canvas admin.

## Edit Quiz Details

<div data-step-uuid="ea08cde8-8377-43a9-a11a-1d0b09355917" id="bkmrk--2"><div data-step-uuid="ea08cde8-8377-43a9-a11a-1d0b09355917"><div>![Edit Quiz Details](https://media.screensteps.com/image_assets/assets/007/387/041/original/931aec2f-8a37-4489-8733-5a219ae263db.png)</div><div><div></div></div></div></div>In the **Assignment Name** field \[1\], enter the name of your quiz. To enter quiz details, enter the total points possible \[2\], select the assignment group \[3\], and choose how the grade is displayed to students \[4\].

To remove this quiz from final grade calculations, click the **Do not count this assignment towards the final grade** checkbox \[5\].

The points possible set on the assignment details page is the total points possible for the quiz. Points set per question determine points earned for correct answers. Points earned for correct answers are totaled and divided by the sum of the total question points for the quiz. That percentage is then used to calculate the final score based on the total points set on the assignment details page. For example, if you set the total points on the assignment details page to 50 and create an quiz with 10 questions each worth 1 point, the quiz has a total of 10 points but is worth 50 points when graded. If a student answers 9 questions correctly, their quiz score is 90% (9/10). However, their final score in the Gradebook will be 45/50 (90%).

If your quiz is worth zero points, you can choose to not display the quiz in the Gradebook or student Grades page \[6\].
