   • Option 1: Create and link to a new grade item. (Choose this option if the Grade Item DOES NOT exist yet in the Grades tool.)
     1. Select Create and link to a new grade item to create a new Grade Item in the Grades tool with the same name as your new quiz.
        
     2. If your new Grade Item needs to exist within a Grade Category, click Choose Grade Category and from the dropdown menu select the appropriate category.
        
     3. If your new Grade Item needs an alternative Grading Scheme, click Choose Grade Scheme.
        
     4. Click OK.
   • (Recommended): Option 2: Link to an existing grade item. (Choose this option if the Grade Item ALREADY exists in the Grades tool.) This will allow you to link this new quiz with an existing grade item as long as it is not associated with an activity.
     1. Select the dropdown menu to choose the existing grade item you, then click OK.
        
     2. The Grade Out Of field will automatically update with the score value from the grade item.

With this feature turned on, the auto-evaluated attempt results will be published and appear to students.IMPORTANT Note: If questions cannot be evaluated by the system (e.g. written response questions), those questions will be automatically scored with a zero until manual evaluation.
   
6. Optional: Check the box for Synchronize to grade book on publish. With this feature turned on, the student’s grade will be automatically published to the grade book once it has been evaluated.This requires the quiz to be connected to the grade book.
