- Sometimes, a student may encounter technical difficulties while completing the quiz, such as an internet connection problem or a computer crash.
- A student may have mistakenly submitted the quiz before they were finished or before they had a chance to review their answers.

There are several vital reasons why, when you build an online quiz, reopening a submitted quiz attempt can be beneficial. It is necessary, however, to have a process in place for reopening submitted quiz attempts.
Consider factors such as fairness and consistency. If technical difficulties were the cause of the issue, it may be more reasonable to reopen the quiz attempt. However, if a student wants more time to review their answers or improve their score, it may be more appropriate to deny the request.
You may specify that quiz attempts can only be reopened within 24 hours of the original submission or that students can only request a reopening once per semester.
The guidelines you choose are totally up to you, but having clear guidelines and limitations will ensure the integrity of the assessment process while providing students with reasonable flexibility.
