How does "retry missed items" work?
The Retry Missed Items feature allows teachers to give students a second chance to answer questions they initially missed during an assessment while preserving both the original score and the retry score.
Retry Missed Items is an optional feature that can be activated on the final Settings tab when you are assigning an assessment.

Important to note:
- In the assignment builder, the retry missed items setting is available for assessments and generated tests you assign. It is NOT available for assigned Practice Questions or Video Lessons.
- In the study plan, the ability to retry missed items is already enabled by default for the summative Subject Tests and the Domain Practice Tests.
- In the study plan, the practice questions found under the "Practice" column prompt students to retry missed items after providing a text or video explanation. However, retrying missed items is NOT available for the video practice questions found under the "Learn" column.
Student Point of View
When Retry Missed Items is activated, students will see a pop-up immediately after clicking Submit. The pop-up asks if they would like to retry missed items. Students only see this screen if they've answered any questions incorrectly.
After the students finish the retry questions, they will see their score report on their Graded Work screen. In the blue column on the left, they will see their original score, and the retry score will be listed underneath.
When the students scroll down, they can see the actual questions, their answer choices, and the correct answer. They can also toggle back and forth between the original score and the retry score by clicking the "Original/Retry" button on the right.

Teacher Point of View
Teachers can view the original and retry scores in two separate tabs in their Teacher Gradebook.
- Under the Assignments tab. Under Display, select Current to see the original scores, or select Retry Scores and click Run Report. To switch the view back to the original scores, select Current in the display drop-down menu and click Run Report. The screen will refresh and display the current (original) scores.
- You can also see the original and the retry score on the "Class Results" tab for each student.
