Quiz submissions time

[daammon]

Hi, My students are having a hard time sending the quizzes as they have 100 questions and it takes really long to send them. Sometimes, the quiz won't even send. I want to make a simultaneos quiz for thousands of people. My question is, will my server work if 1000 people upload the 100 questions quiz at the same time? Thank you! Daniel

Hi, If you are using a shared server then you will suffer the same problem again and if you are using a dedicated server then it depends on your memory limit. We recommend a server with memory more than 128 mb.

Hi, 128mb? What do you mean? I am using a dedicated server with 2 CPU in paralel, each of them with 8 nodes, 16Gb of RAM DDR4 and a SSD HDD. Will that be enough to have 1000 or 2000 students making the quizzes at my website SIMULTANEOUSLY? (That last word is the important one) Thanks, Daniel

Hi, Your server configurations are fine just make sure the php memory limit is 128MB or higher, I would suggest to increase the php memory limit only. Otherwise, there will be no issues with the quiz submissions. ------------- You have 100 questions in the quiz when the quiz is submitted then the 100 questions will break into 10 groups of 10 questions and then in 1 ajax call 10 questions will be saved. This will continue until you reach the last 10 questions, after this for each question 1 ajax call will be sent to save the answers.

Hi, So for each 100 questions quizz, 10 ajax calls will be sent for the questions and 100 calls for the answers, right? That's 110 per quizz. So if I am making the quizz simulateously to 1000 students, I will have 110000 ajax calls in 2 min. Are my calculations correct? I would like to transmit this data to my hosting support team. Thanks, Daniel

Hi, Your calculations are seems to be wrong , because for 100 questions only 19 ajax calls will be sent when the quiz is submitted. Here we need to save Answers only and in 19 calls we can save answers of 100 Questions. To save the answers of 100000 questions, 19000 ajax calls will be sent.
