Can I have student quiz responses save from one attempt to the next?

[jwickersham]

I'm utilizing New Quizzes for a variety of assessment types, including homework. On homework assignments, I want students to have multiple attempts so that they can identify their mistakes and try those specific problems again. The issue I ran into when testing this in student view is that the second attempt reset all the questions, requiring the student to start from scratch and complete every single question again. This is not a reasonable expectation for my longish math-based assignments.

Is there any workaround or setting that would allow student responses to save and carry forward from one attempt to the next? I'm looking for more of a revision/correction that an attempt. If this isn't possible, could it be added to the list of requested features?

Thank you!

Hello  @jwickersham   and welcome to the Community.  At this time, you cannot.

This idea is up for voting, (see New Quizzes: Carry Forward Correct Answers on Quiz Multiple Attempts).  It has been up for awhile, but makes great sense. 

Far down in the comments, you'll find a work-around from Erika Pesek .

The Chrome Extension "Form Vault" is a nice workaround one of our students discovered.  We allow students multiple attempts on homework assignments for an accuracy grade.  Form Vault will save their responses from an attempt.  Students can then try another attempt and Form Vault will populate all their previous answers.  Students will then only have to change the answers they know are incorrect from their first attempt.  We were so happy to find this for our students since CANVAS has not addressed this request from teachers.

I hope this helps!
