In Go1, quizzes are essential for measuring knowledge, reinforcing learning, and driving course completion. However, learning is often a process of trial and error—especially for more complex topics. Allowing learners to retake a quiz after failing ensures they can reflect on mistakes, re-engage with content, and ultimately succeed.
This guide will walk you through configuring your Go1 quiz settings to enable retakes after failed attempts and provide best-practice recommendations for supporting learner success without compromising assessment integrity.
Step 1: Access Quiz Settings
Navigate to the Go1 course where your quiz is located
Click the “Edit” at the top tight-hand size of the course overview page.
Select the quiz, then click "configure" and click the edit icon on the right-hand side.
Scroll to the "Taking Options" section.
Enable Multiple Takes
What it does: Determines how many times a learner can attempt the quiz.
Example value:
2to3attempts for balanced flexibility.Set to:
0If you want unlimited retakes.
Note: Multiple attempts allow learners to learn from mistakes, but setting a cap (e.g., 3 tries) encourages focused effort.
Tips for Encouraging Productive Retakes
Provide targeted feedback after each attempt to guide learning.
Include supportive language in quiz instructions (e.g., "Don’t worry if you don’t pass the first time - you can always try again!").
Use randomized questions or question banks to make each attempt unique and challenging.
Avoid overuse of unlimited attempts - use them purposefully to balance fairness and learning accountability.
Conclusion
Allowing learners to retake a quiz after failed attempts is a learner-centered strategy that supports growth, confidence, and mastery. With the right Quiz settings, you can empower learners to succeed while maintaining assessment credibility. Configure your quiz with intention, monitor performance data, and adjust settings as needed based on the needs of your learners and the goals of your training program.
