Restricting Number of attempts is not working

Restricting Number of attempts is not working

Hello,

I want to restrict the number of attempts for each course. What I would like to achieve is that a student can start the course, go though the whole course, do the final test and finally click on 'finish course'. This accounts for 1 attempt.  It would be great that after doing this 2 times the student cannot access the course any more. 

Currently I have set things up at attempts management in the edit SCORM package page. The settings I use are as follows:



However when I test this I see that students can do the course more then 2 times. After attempting a course with the above settings I see this:

Number of attempts allowed: 2
Number of attempts you have made: 1
Grade for attempt 1: 0%
Grading method: Highest attempt
Grade reported: 0%

It seems that the number of attempts never becomes more then one. So after the first attempt the number goes from 0 to 1, after the second attempt and more the number of attempts stays on 1.

Probably there is some other setting I need to take into account but I do not know where to look. Can anyone help me? Many thanks in advance! 

Information: Moodle 2.6.3+ (Build: 20140703)

Hi Rob, to start can you tell us what version of Moodle you're running and what settings were used when compiling the SCORM package itself? For example is it set to report passed/failed, complete/incomplete or something else. I'm not positive I can help but knowing these things will get us started.

By acccident I found the solution;

In the advanced features setting page the setting 'Enable conditional access' was set to 'No'. I changed this in 'Yes' and in every individual module I set the following in the SCORM settings;

Attempts management: Force new attempt = Yes / Lock after final attempt = Yes

Compatibility settings: Force completed = Yes / Auto-continue = Yes


Thanks for the intention to try to help me!
