How to Enable Retakes for District or School Assessments
In the left menu, navigate to My District Activities or My School Activities depending on your admin role.
Locate the assessment you want to allow retakes for and click on the underlined title.
In the details section, find the Retake option. Check the box to enable retakes or uncheck it to disable them. When enabled, you can also set an end date for retake availability (optional).
IMPORTANT NOTE: If retakes are turned off while students are mid-assessment on a retake, they will be logged out, and their progress will not be saved. However, scores from any previously completed retakes will remain unaffected.
Teacher Options for Retakes on District or School Activities (When Enabled)
When a retake is enabled for a district or school activity, teachers can choose to assign a retake with one of the four presentation options:
Missed Items Only - Prior Answers Shown: Students will see only the items they missed, along with their previous answers shown.
Missed Items Only - Prior Answers Hidden: Students will see only the items they missed, without their previous answers displayed.
All Items - Prior Answers Shown: Students will see the entire assessment with their previous answers shown.
All Items - Prior Answers Hidden: Students will see the entire assessment without their previous answers displayed.
Note: Students who received a 100 on the original assessment will be marked as ineligible for a retake for the "Missed Items Only" options.
Additional Notes
When the retake option is enabled and a teacher assigns a retake for District or School assessments, the retake is automatically created under the teacher’s activities, but teachers do not have editing rights for these retakes.
Retake data is kept separate from original data and shown in its own distinct column on the Reports page for clear reporting.
Removing access to a school or district activity will also remove the retake option if it was enabled.
Teachers can assign one retake per completed assessment, if enabled.
Students will only see the retake option if it has been explicitly assigned by their teacher.
