Hi Becky,

You should have a timing section in the quiz settings, see screenshot. this is from a 1.9.7 install.

I think this will affect all 2.0 versions, This issue does not affect 1.9. I submitted this this to tracker.

This is effecting all my installations. In researching this more I found that the attempts are stored in mdl_data_attempts / attempts column as attempt 1 attempt 2 and so on. For each attempt a new column is written to the database and givin an attempt id. When you delete an attempt is deletes the whole column for the attempt ID. The problem is moodle gets the value from the attempt column in the database. So if you allow 8 attempts and delete all attempts accept the most recent when moodle fetches the attempt value it reads 2 and matches the attempt limit.

This is for a client of ours, they probably need to delete attempts when or if their is an issue with internet connection, pop window confusion, or the student some how messes their attempts up. When I taught in the classroom I would have to reset student attempts every so ofen. I personally dont think allowing multiple attempts is the best pedegogy unless it being used in adaptive mode or for practice/review. But who am I to tell the client how to train....

I am in the process of testing this in a fresh install to make sure this is moodle and not the theme or environment. In the quiz module once students have taken a quiz set with 2 or more attempts If I delete the first  attempt or any other attempt other than the most recent, moodle does not recognize one attempt has been deleted and will not let students in. If I delete the most recent or all attempts moodle will see this and let students re-attempt the quiz. Is this how this is supposed to work?
