I want to limit the learner to three attempts at the quiz. The passing score is set to 80%. I want to record the highest of the three scores in our LMS SumTotal Maestro. However, it's allowing the learner to take it more than three times and of course, it continues to post the best score. Please advise.
Ok, according to your reply: "Setting the number of attempts in Quizmaker only refers to that instance of the course, when you load it again you will get another 3 attempts.
Would you provide a clearer definition of instance and attempts? So clicking on the link for the quiz in the LMS = 1 instance. If I set it at one attempt, then everytime, I click on the link(instance) in the LMS I will get 1 more attempt. So, it seems infinite no matter how many attempts you set it to.
If you only allow a user to take a quiz three times in Presenter, that refers to the current viewing. If you exit, then re-enter the course, you could sy not to the resume prompt and take the quiz over again.
I'm using Articulate 13, and can no longer find the setting for quiz attempts ... only attempts per question. Am I missing something or have they changed that?
When you enable the Retry Quiz button on the result slide for a quiz, learners will have an unlimited number of attempts to take the quiz. But you can change this behavior by adding a variable to track the number of attempts and a couple of triggers to set a limit on the number of quiz attempts allowed. See this tutorial for details.
Hello. I am using storyline 2 and have created a quiz I want users to have only 1 attempt. I have not allowed the "Retry Quiz" button and in my LMS I selected the "Never New" option in the New Attempt Logic. There is not a passing score - pass/fail, but do need my LMS to track their actual score so I can compare against the post quiz (same quiz).
My LMS allows users to "Resume" and once they have closed out of their first attempt. Do I need to have a passing score (even if 1%)?
Does the resume behavior from your LMS start the entire course over again? Have you looked at the resume option here within Storyline? You could set it to always resume - meaning they'd be brought back to where they left off.
Most learning management systems (LMSs) consider a course to be in review mode after the tracking requirement has been met. In review mode, resume data is no longer sent to the LMS, which prevents learners from accidentally changing their course status from complete back to incomplete. So if your LMS is behaving differently - you may want to reach out to them to see if there is a setting to adjust.

btw, I'm using quizmaker 9
Hi Robbin you need to set this in the LMS on the number of attempts.
Setting the number of attempts in Quizmaker only refers to that instance of the course, when you load it again you will get another 3 attempts.
The LMS needs to be set to 3 attempts and record the highest score
Okay, that makes sense. Now I see what the probelm is. I hope I can set that in the LMS side. In other words,
3 attempts consist of taking the quiz, reviewing the quiz, and whatever third click on the quiz link you make? Is that correct?
Just found out that SumTotal Maestro doesn't have the ability to do this. OH NO!
Setting attempts to 3

Hi Sue!
That feature is still available, but is found on the results.
Check out this article on how to get that set up.
THANK YOU!!!
Of course Sue, glad to help!
I am using Storyline 2, do you have instructions?
Hi Sara!
I think this is what you are looking for:

But you can change this behavior by adding a variable to track the number of attempts and a couple of triggers to set a limit on the number of quiz attempts allowed. See this tutorial for details.
Thank you. I found this too and it was very helpful in accomplishing my needs.
