CAT Quiz - hide question feedback until pass or all attempts used?

Originally asked by a community member in the Litmos Community forum on 12 February 2026.

Hi all! I think this may be an enhancement request as I didn't see anything in Litmos University around this, but I would like to use a Quiz in a CAT module for assessment purposes with these rules:

  • 1 attempt per question
  • 3 attempts to pass the quiz
  • 90% passing grade required

I would also like to use the Feedback option for each question to provide additional information and the correct answer if they got it wrong, but I only want the feedback to display if the learner passed the quiz or they didn't pass after three attempts.

I tested and the feedback shows up immediately when answering a question correctly or incorrectly, so it defeats the point of giving more than one attempt to pass the quiz. Using the Correct/Incorrect feedback structure doesn't work because if the learner still gets it wrong after three attempts, then I want them to see what the correct answer feedback shows (which reinforces the correct answer with additional context).

Does anyone know if this is possible using a CAT module quiz?

    Hi Alex

    Great question — I can absolutely understand the instructional strategy behind what you're looking to do, especially wanting learners to engage with their attempts before seeing the correct answer reinforced.

    With the way the CAT quiz component is currently designed, feedback is only to appear immediately after each question is submitted, as you describe.

    As this would enhance your use case, we encourage you to log in to the Litmos Ideas Portal and submit your feedback for our Product Team’s consideration.

    I hope this helps 🙂
