With Quiz Attempt settings, teachers can adjust how many total attempts (including retakes) students are allowed on a quiz. Students will automatically be able to retake the quiz until they have reached the maximum number of attempts.
đĄ It is not possible to set "unlimited" quiz attempts. Teachers can simulate this for students by entering a high number, like "999".
Changing the Number of Attempts for a Course
Open the Quiz Settings tool and select your section.
In the Course card, under Set Attempts for All Quiz Types, enter the number of attempts (including retakes) and click Submit.
This applies to all quizzes in your course, unless a section has its own attempt settings.
From this same page, you can also:
Change how incorrect/correct answers are displayed.
Modify how incorrect/correct results are displayed for each type of quiz (Check for Understanding, the Final Quiz, etc.).
Change the default number of retakes students get when taking a quiz.
Apply the Shuffle Questions setting by module, lesson, or assignment.
Changing the Number of Attempts for a Section
You can set a different number of attempts for each quiz type (for example, Unit Quiz or Final) in just one section. This is useful for pacing, accommodations, or retake policies that differ between sections of the same course.
Open the Quiz Settings tool and select your section.
In the Section card, find the quiz type.
Under Quiz Attempts, enter the number of attempts (including retakes) and click Set for Section.
Other sections using the same course are not affected. To remove the section setting, click Use assignment defaults.
Which setting applies? If a section has its own attempt setting for a quiz type, it always takes priority. Otherwise, students get the number of attempts set on the quiz itself. If none is set, students get 1 attempt.
