\section{Creating a Quiz Summary Table}\label{s:sumrytbl}
This feature is designed for a \texttt{quiz} (as opposed to a
\texttt{shortquiz}) and is probably most useful for a long quiz, spanning
-several pages. The \cs{displaySumryTbl} command creates a table that summarizes
-the user's effort for the quiz; \cs{displaySumryTbl} must follow the final
-\verb!\end{questions}! and \emph{must be on a separate page} from the last question of the quiz.
-An example of the generated table is shown below in \hyperref[fig:qzSumryTbl]{Figure~\ref*{fig:qzSumryTbl}}.
