Additional quiz results displays are used to release additional information to students either after a particular quiz attempt (if multiple attempts are allowed) or after a date has passed (like after a date restriction has ended).

To do this, create an additional display and select the date/time it should be released. Then, select the check box to limit the time (in minutes) that the display should be available. It is recommended to make students aware of any time limit they will have to review questions and/or answers after submitting a quiz.
