I am new to using Khan Academy with a classroom. Is there a way to set a maximum number of times that a student can re-do and assignment in an effort "best their score"? For example, I had a student take 7 attempts to earn a 100%. I don't know that I want to limit the number of attempts if a student is willing to keep working...I just want to know if it is an option.

Please make it so you can set a max as an option, or at least let me (coach) see what their first score was. Sometimes I want them to keep going until they get a score they are happy with, but sometimes I want to use it as a quick assessment. I have several students who have taken 6 or 7 attempts on a 5 question quiz.
It is ridiculous that this is not an option to begin with and even more so that it still is not!! I use this with my English language learners. (because they can watch the videos in Spanish and do the assignments in Spanish. But when I want to use it as a graded quiz to gather some info on their ability, they just retake it over and over until they get a grade, and then they share the answers with the class (in their own language) and then I have students not even attempting to learn, just waiting for another student to give them the answer. This is ridiculous. Do NOT market Khan academy as a tool for my classroom when it is not.
I personally love the fact that there are no limit to retries. Khan Academy at it's heart is a LEARNING tool, not a GRADING too... it's purpose is to allow users to gain knowledge...NOT to be constantly accessed. There is too much of that in the public school system already. If teachers need to constantly access students, I suggest they use another tool, or create their own tests to distribute.
