# Results Page Display

LearnDash quizzes come with powerful settings that let you control **access**, **progression**, **restrictions**, and **how results are displayed**. These options help you design quizzes that are fair, engaging, and aligned with your course strategy.

---

#### Quiz Access Settings

- **Quiz Release Schedule**
    - By default, quizzes are available immediately.
    - You can “drip” release quizzes based on enrollment date or set a specific release date.
- **Quiz Prerequisite**
    - Require learners to pass another quiz before accessing the current one.
    - Useful for creating progressive learning paths.
- **Allowed Users**
    - Restrict access to **registered users only**.
    - Especially useful when embedding quizzes via shortcodes outside of courses or for open courses where quizzes should remain restricted.

#### Progression and Restriction Settings

- **Passing Score**
    - Default is **80%**, but this can be adjusted.
- **Quiz Certificate**
    - Award a certificate upon passing.
    - You can set a different percentage threshold for earning the certificate than the passing score.
- **Enable Quiz Saving**
    - Allows learners to save progress in longer quizzes and return later.
    - Without it, quizzes must be completed in one sitting.
- **Restrict Quiz Retakes**
    - Default: unlimited attempts.
    - Limit retries (e.g., 5 attempts).
    - Restrictions can apply to registered users only, anonymous users only, or everyone.
    - Reset retakes manually: 
        - Anonymous users: reset via button.
        - Registered users: delete failed attempts from their WordPress profile.
- **Question Completion**
    - Enforce completion of all questions before submission.
    - Recommended to ensure accurate scoring.
- **Time Limit**
    - Set a countdown (e.g., 15 minutes).
    - The quiz auto-submits once time expires.
    - Unanswered questions receive zero points.

    - Displays: current question, marked questions, answered/incorrect answers, and a summary button.

    - Other options: 
        - Sort by category.
        - Randomize order.
        - Random subset of questions (e.g., show 30 out of 52).
- **Additional Question Options**
    - **Question Position**: Displays “Question X of Y.”
    - **Question Numbering**: Sequential numbering.
    - **Question Category**: Displays question category.
