Multiple Attempts in Inspera Assessment allow candidates to take a test multiple times. This feature helps candidates to learn and understand the topics better by allowing them to practice until they get it right. As a result, candidates can improve their understanding, confidence, and overall academic performance.

This article explains the core concepts of Multiple Attempts and reviews common workflows to help you plan your assessment strategy.

Understanding Multiple Attempts

Multiple Attempts functionality is designed for both automatically and manually marked questions. It enables flexible assessment strategies by allowing candidates more than one opportunity to submit responses. Depending on your goals, there are two primary ways to use this feature:

• Grader-controlled attempts: This enables performance-based progression. In this workflow, the Grader decides if a candidate should be granted the next attempt based on their performance on the previous one.
• Candidate-controlled attempts: Ideal for automatically marked questions where candidates can decide if they want to try a new attempt.
