Quiz Generator: Special Permissions: Allowing Additional Attempts on a Quiz

If your quiz is set up to only allow one attempt on the quiz or a student has exhausted the default number of attempts, you can allow the student to attempt the quiz one (or more) additional times.

Note: There is an important difference between the number of accesses to a quiz and attempts on a quiz. Whereas an attempt refers to a full completion of a quiz by clicking the Submit Answers button, an access of a quiz simply refers to any viewing of the quiz page. For more information on the distinction, please refer to this guide. 

 

How to Allow Additional Attempts on a Quiz

1. Click Quiz Generator under Activities and Assignments on the main Faculty Tools page.
2. Click the quiz title on the main Quiz Generator page.
3. Click Special Permissions in the main navigation bar at the top of the page.
4. Click the name of the student in the list on the left.
5. Enter the total number of attempts the student is allowed in the Number of Full Attempts Allowed box.
6. Click Grant Special Access.

Example: If your quiz is set up to allow three attempts, but you need to allow a student to attempt taking the quiz one more time, enter "4" in the Number of Full Attempts Allowed box. That's three (3) for the default number of attempts and one (1) for allowing the student to attempt the quiz one more time.
