How to Block Quiz Reattempts From the Same IP Address

 

Blocking quiz reattempts by IP address in ProProfs Quiz Maker helps prevent multiple attempts from the same network, even if users try to access the quiz using different devices or email addresses. This feature is useful for maintaining assessment integrity and reducing misuse.

 

Benefits:

  • Prevents Multiple Attempts from the Same Source: Restricts users on the same network from retaking the quiz.

  • Reduces Cheating and Spam: Minimizes misuse in shared environments such as classrooms or offices.

  • Improves Assessment Reliability: Ensures fair participation by limiting repeated access.

 

Example:

An organization conducts an assessment where multiple users access the quiz from a shared network. By enabling IP-based restrictions, the administrator ensures that each participant can attempt the quiz only once from that network, preventing duplicate attempts.

 

Please note the IP restriction setting overrides the "number of attempts" allowed under general settings. 

 

 

Here's the message quiz takers will see if they are reattempting the quiz from the same IP:
