# How do I grade a New Quizzes quiz question one at a time in SpeedGrader?

You can grade individual New Quizzes questions using SpeedGrader. Most quiz items are graded automatically after a student submits the quiz. However, essay and file upload questions must be graded manually.

**Notes:**

<div id="bkmrk-quizzes-that-pull-qu"><div>- Quizzes that pull questions from an item bank will shuffle the order of questions for each student. Question order for each submission may vary within SpeedGrader.
