Quiz settings: continue after 2 retries

Hi Renzo,

There's not currently a way to both limit the number of attempts and require learners to reattempt the quiz a certain number of times before moving on, even if they never get a passing score.

However, our team has a feature request logged for this capability and I will make sure your voice gets added to the discussion.

Hi Allison,

Thnx.

Just to be sure: what I mean is that learners get for example 3 chances max to pass the score. Then they can move on, regardless the score. The score is shown at the end of the quiz, so if you didn't pass the score it's just valuable feedback for the learner (I didn't pass so I have to study more on this subject!). 

But, if this is not possible right now, what does the setting "quiz retries" do? If you have to pass the score, the amount of retries doesn't matter. And if you don't, you can move on anyway. So when/how do you use "Quiz retries"?

Hi Renzo,

That's correct, that's not currently possible. The quiz retries setting is meant to be used independently of the require passing score feature, not together. If you choose require passing score, learners will have to keep retaking the quiz until they receive a passing score, regardless of the number of quiz attempts you've selected.

I hope that makes sense! 

Well, not quite.... 8P...

If you can pass no matter what the score, what does the amount of quiz retries do? Does it mean that the button 'take again' disappears after 2 retries (in my example), or...?

Sorry that was unclear, Renzo! It allows learners to retry the quiz as many times as you've selected. However, it does not force them to retry. Does that make sense?

I got it!

Didn't notice it before. I just tested the setting "2 retries"/"not required to pass score" and now I see the 'take again' button disappears after 2 retries.

Thanks for your help. Hope the feature of "forced retries" will come soon!

You're welcome! :)

Hi Renzo,

I just wanted to follow up here because I spoke to our developers and it looks like I made a mistake when I responded to you, so I wanted to apologize for that and to explain to you how this is set up to work.

If you choose 2 retries and require a passing score, the learners will actually get 3 tries total (including the first one) and afterwards they won't be able to move on.

However, there's still no way to do what you're trying to do, which is to force them to try a certain number of times before continuing on.

I hope that makes sense! Sorry for the confusion.

Haha… apology accepted. No problem.

Good to know how it works and yes, still not what I want to achieve: 3 tries max (if you don’t pass the score) and then continue.

Thanks for all the effort. Look forward to the new feature!

You're welcome! :)

How do I get the quiz retries of 2 to share this information with my litmos lms?

Hi there, Stephan. If someone re-takes a quiz multiple times within the same course attempt, we commit the most recent quiz score to the LMS upon exit. So, they could pass it then fail it, or fail it and then pass it, and we’d report the more recent result.

Does that answer your question?
