About the "Grade" area and "BONUS" points: If there is a grade item associated with a quiz, users may wish to make it so the grade item "Can Exceed" if a learner earns a 100% on the quiz and then gets a bonus question (or series of bonus questions) correct. To do this, user must go to the "Grades" area, select to edit the quiz associated grade item, select the "Can Exceed" checkbox, and "Save" the grade item. Also, as necessary, a category that holds the quiz associated grade item may need to have "Can Exceed" applied.

When the quiz is being taken by learners, there is no indication in the question area to alert quiz takers that the question is a Bonus question.
