Description

I get the error "This question doesn't belong to a valid category!" after going to Preview on a quiz and trying to click the Edit icon on question 1. My issue is, how can I edit the category for this question if I can't get in to edit the settings?

When I look at the questions on the quiz, only 3 are shown, but in preview all 8 are shown. I assume that several have issues with their category, but I don't know how to fix it.

It also seems that this may be affecting the way Moodle is grading quizzes (although I can't prove a correlation yet). The quiz has 31 total points, but Moodle is awarding some students 33 or even 57 points for the quiz.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Is this a fresh install of Moodle 1.6, or is it an old one that was upgraded? Where did these questions come from? (Newly created, created a long time ago, imported, restored from backup, ...)

This is not a fresh install of 1.6. We are at version 1.6.3. The questions were newly (and individually) created by the instructor this year.

We are upgrading to version 1.8 in about a week so I guess the point is moot now. But, I saw other users having issues with Moodle giving wrong points on assignments too. I can't figure out why Moodle was awarding more points than were possible for these quizzes.
