There are cases where a teacher may want to allow a student to retake a quiz without the need to reassign the entire experience. This article explains how you can do this.

If you have not read this article on quizzes or watched this video, you may want to review the general quiz functionality first.

Allowing a Student to Retake a Quiz

If a student scores poorly and you want to allow a retake, select the drop-down at the top right corner of the quiz element in the teacher view and choose "Show Retake."

Once this is done, the teacher's view of the quiz will show a retake option for any student who has completed the quiz. Clicking "retake" and confirming will clear the student's results and allow the student to retake the quiz. The text "pending retake" will appear next to the student's name. This indication will disappear once the student starts retaking the quiz.

Student View of Quiz Retake

Exploros does not send any form of a notification to the student, so the teacher needs to let the student know that the quiz can be retaken. On the student's view of the quiz, a button saying "Retake Quiz" will appear below the student's prior score.

Once the student clicks "Retake Quiz" they progress through the quiz in the normal fashion.

If the Experience Ends and the Student Did Not Complete the Retake

In the event that the experience ends and the student has not retaken the quiz, the teacher view shows an exclamation point next to the student's name, which when clicked on says "Student was invited to retake the quiz but did not."

If the teacher reactivates the experience and lets the student know, the student can again have a chance to retake the quiz.

Data and Reports

Quiz scores will be saved as first responses and last responses in the teacher dashboard, in a similar manner to other elements.

In reporting that shows quiz scores, only the last quiz score is shown.
