To limit the number of times a user can take a test or lesson navigate to the options tab in the test or lesson you wish to configure and click on the taking limits tab. Scroll down to Retake Limit Options to find the controls for these options.
A few things to keep in mind as you adjust these options:
- The term COMPLETE is used to describe a test where a user has answered the questions and pressed the finish button to complete the test.
- INCOMPLETE means a test that has not been completed or where the timer had expired with the test set to not automatically score.
- If you're unsure on how to use the INCOMPLETE setting, in most cases the COMPLETE and INCOMPLETE settings should be set the same.
Example 1 of 2 - For pass/fail test where you want to give the user 3 attempts to pass the test, but upon passing stop the user from taking it again:
- Limit Number of Pass Times: 1
- Limit Number of Fail Times: 3
- Limit Number of Complete Attempts: 3
- Limit Number of Incomplete Attempts: 3
Example 2 of 2 - For a test where you only want a user to access it once, use these settings:
- Limit Number of Pass Times: 1
- Limit Number of Fail Times: 1
- Limit Number of Complete Attempts: 1
- Limit Number of Incomplete Attempts: 1
