Your quizzes and tests are listed. The "Availability" field tells you when you can take the test and how long you have.

The "Duration" field shows you how long you have to complete the test once you open it (if your instructor placed a time limit on your test). A clock in the top right corner of the quiz window will appear when you start the test.

Your "Grade" is listed if your instructor has released your score.

The "Attempts" field tells you how many times you have taken and can take the test.

To access the test, click on its title. I clicked on "Chapter 10,11,12" for this example.
