Yes, you can assign attempts to students individually if needed!

This can be helpful if a student experiences technical difficulties and needs to restart an attempt but has already used up all their assigned attempts.

To do this, navigate to the Grades section and click on "Per Student."

Find the student whose attempts you wish to update and edit their assigned attempts as needed by clicking on "+ Set Attempts".

This will allow them to have additional attempts available to complete the simulation.
