## Attempts

Each placement has an attempt allowance. Leave it unlimited, or set a
number. A learner who has attempts left can resume an unfinished one
or start the next; a learner who has used them all sees their result
and cannot start again.

Nothing deletes an attempt except deleting the whole experience
permanently. There is no "clear this learner's attempt" button, on
purpose: an assessment record you can quietly erase is not a record.

## Scoring rules

When a learner has several attempts at one placement, the rule decides
which one counts:

- **Highest** — their best. Rewards persistence. The usual choice for
  practice.
- **Latest** — their most recent. Rewards improvement, and is honest
  about where they have got to.
- **First** — one shot that counts. For a genuine check.
- **Mean** — the average. Smooths out a fluke either way.

## Showing history

You can let learners see their own previous attempts, or not. Showing
history helps with practice; hiding it is usually right when the first
attempt is the one that counts.

> What happens to one learner on one placement. Nothing deletes an attempt, so a record of what they did stays put.

## One experience, one grade

An experience produces a **single 0–1 result**, whatever is inside it.

It is the average across every placement you made. An activity a
learner never attempted scores **zero** — it is part of what you asked
for, so ignoring it would flatter the result. Each placement is first
reduced to one number by its own scoring rule, then those are
averaged.

Some activities record a score out of a maximum; some record only that
the learner completed them. An activity with no score is judged on
completion.

Progress stays **Started** until every placement has been submitted,
and the grade is posted once, at the end.

If that grade is refused by your LMS, the workspace's leaders and the
organisation's admins get a notification saying so — see [Connecting
your LMS with LTI 1.3](/support/articles/connecting-your-lms-lti).
