This Moodle plugin allows teachers to hide questions that have been correctly answered in previous attempts. This can be useful in preventing students from seeing the correct answers and encourages them to attempt the questions again.
Enhanced Features:
- Hide previously answered questions in new attempts.
- Automatic grading of correct answers in subsequent attempts.
- Prevent re-attempting the quiz after all questions have been answered correctly.
- Hide partially correct answered questions on reattempt.
This ensures students only focus on revisiting and reattempting questions they haven't answered correctly before. These features encourage more effective learning and review.

To configure the plugin settings, follow these steps:
- Log in to your Moodle site as a 'course administrator' or 'teacher'.
- Navigate to the course where the quiz is located.
- Turn editing on.
- Click on the quiz activity to access its settings.
- In the quiz settings page, locate the 'Question behavior' section and 'click on' it.
- Look for the 'Each attempt builds on the last' setting and 'enable' it. This setting allows each attempt to build on the previous one, retaining the user's previous responses and providing a cumulative learning experience.
- Next, scroll down to the 'Extra restrictions on attempts' section.
- From the dropdown setting 'Hide questions on attempt', select the option that says 'Hide the correct answered question in new attempt'.
- To keep the question mark and feedback from your previous attempt on a hidden question, select the "Auto grade the correct questions" option in the "Questions auto-grade" dropdown setting.
- From the dropdown setting "Hide questions on attempt", select the option "Hide the correct and partially correct answered questions on reattempt". This will hide questions with partially correct marks or higher automatically in the next attempt.

To prevent the user from re-attempting the quiz after all questions have been answered correctly in a previous attempt. From the dropdown setting 'Prevent re-attempting the quiz', select the option that says 'Prevent re-attempting the quiz after all questions have been answered correctly', This is useful to ensure that users do not retake the quiz unnecessarily.
-
Save the quiz settings to apply the changes. With these settings enabled, when a learner attempts the quiz again, the questions will be hidden, allowing them to reflect on their previous attempt and make improvements without directly seeing the correct answers.
Note: It's important to communicate these settings to your learners so they understand the behavior of the quiz and the purpose behind hiding the questions on subsequent attempts.
