I'm new to this, so need a little help.
I've made a multiple-choice questionnaire (see it here <http://reesonomics.eu/Introduction%20to%20Political%20Economy/Adam_Smith.html>)
At the moment, if the group gets the answer wrong, they can have another go. How can I limit the quiz to only one try?
Thanks for your help!

Hi there,

That's a little antithetical to the aims of Hot Potatoes, which is to help people learn, rather than testing them.

But if you're determined to do it, there's a tutorial here:

Cheers,

Hello there !

As Martin says, the main goal is to practise !
Though, at the end of the exercise, you can get the information you are looking for.

In this example : http://ecolepro.free.fr/REPERAGE-TEMPS/LECTURE-HEURE/Heures-pos-minutes-30-a-59-AD/M5-8.htm

I have deliberately produced a wrong answer, which I have corrected right afterwards.

When the final score pops up, you get :

- "91%" because of the wrong answer.
- "Questions successfully answered on the first attempt"

Hope that will be of help !
