If you want them to first attempt the quiz without feedback, and then have feedback on successive attempts, there is no way to do that in a single quiz. However, you could set up two quizzes with different settings. So the first time watching through they would get the quiz with no feedback.
I haven't tried this, so you might have to make some settings adjustments after you test it:
If they fail that, then you would not want them to be able to retry, but rather you would want to branch them to a hidden, second quiz. This quiz would have all the same questions and answers, but this time have unlimited attempts and supplied feedback. Both quizzes should branch to the next slide when passed. If the user goes to previous, they both should branch to the previous slide (or lock them in until they complete the quiz). I'd reccomend you not progress lock the first quiz, but the second would be effective.
If you'd like, you could also change the audio in the second quiz to either let them know they will now receive feedback and to keep trying until they pass.
If you want them to have two attempts at the "no feedback" quiz, set that quiz to the "2 attempt" option, but if they hit continue or next instead of retry, they will go to the feedback supplied version, since there is no way to change the branching between attempts. That might be confusing since they are choosing to go next instead of retry but winding up in quiz again anyways...Although I guess technically you could use the same branching solution again: Have a third hidden quiz that's an exact duplicate of the no feedback quiz except for the branching - So it would be a 1 attempt quiz that branches on a fail result to a hidden duplicate that branches on a fail result to the feedback-supplied, unlimted attempt version...but that seems a little excessive to me
Your idea is interesting, but what I'd like to be able to do is set the quiz question to two attempts, provide the generic, sorry, that's not correct, try again" freedback for the first attempt, then provide specific feedback, by question, if they get it wrong again. That way they are getting immediate feedback, as opposed to having to complete the entire quiz first. I know that I could set the question to two attempts and write specific feedback by answer (not by question) but that is more work.
It does involve showing the learner the feedback pop-up on both attempts, but after the second attempt they branch to the blank slide for additional feedback. Currently there isn't a way to disable the feedback popup for just the second attempt and not the first... however maybe if you make the text generic enough it would work for your situation.

Hi Susan,
In Quizmaker, you can set the number of attempts on a quiz question, here's how:

You can also provide customized feedback to your users for each question they answer, here's how:

Hey Susan, does this fit what you are wanting to do? https://player.vimeo.com/video/149185523

It would work but again, takes more time to develop. Thanks for the ideas though. I'll see if I can sell them.
