Grant Time Extensions and Allow Retakes of Quizzes

February 22nd, 2023

Online quizzes include the flexibility to grant exceptions for special circumstances. Such as allowing a student additional time to take a quiz, extending the dates the quiz is accessible, or allowing specific students additional attempts to take a quiz. All of these options are available to the instructor, giving them the authority to make these decisions independently.

Note

If you are granting a retake on a specific date and time, change the number of attempts from 1 to 2. If you are granting a time extension and the attempt has already been submitted, you will need to give another attempt, and they must take the full quiz/exam again.

All of the options below give you the opportunity to require a password to access the quiz. Some operating system/browser combinations autofill the password field. Be sure the password field is blank before saving the override.

Info

Quizzes are generally set to use the HIGHEST SCORE if multiple attempts are given. However, you can verify this by opening and viewing the Quiz Settings page. Very few quizzes are set up to allow multiple attempts, so this is not a setting that is specifically checked in quality assurance testing.
