The LearnDash Quiz Retake add-on allows your students to retake any quizzes where they don’t achieve a perfect score. During a retake, students are only presented with questions they answered incorrectly on the previous attempt. When students begin to disengage from their learning or abandon the course completely, a progress reset can be a useful tool to get them back on track. By starting the course over, students can revisit the content they may have forgotten, reigniting that spark for learning that may have been lost.
