Please give it a test!

Each quiz on the site may be replayed for points 90 days after you last took the quiz.

If your new score on the quiz is higher than your highest score ever on it you earn full points for that improvement. So if you scored 3/10 the first time, and 7/10 the second time, you get full credit for 4 questions.

You also earn partial replay points (1/3 credit) for the other questions correct, even if your score is lower than your first attempt.

Click through to any quiz you have already played and it will tell you if you need to wait longer or if you can replay it now for credit.

While this is a small change, i feel it may actually be one of the more useful and major gold member perks ever added.

Have fun, and please let me know if you notice any bugs!

I hadn't yet seen your post, Terry, but noticed it on last hours Quiz of the Hour (3:07 pm one).

Worked great, no bugs on my end. Thanks!


Edited to add:
Per the notice prior to taking the Quiz, I had scored 10/10, which I again scored (it was a very easy brain teaser).

My notice read:

"You had played this quiz in the past, so let's determine your replay points...

"Your best score to date on this quiz was 10/10
You did not improve upon your old score.
You still, however, earn 1/3rd credit replay points for the 10 correct questions: 50 points."

Worked perfectly.

Just to let you know that the 90 day limit is also working.
At the start of this hour's Quiz of the Hour:
Gold Member Perk: Quizzes may be replayed for partial points every 90 days. Based on your last-play date, you will be eligible to replay this quiz and score partial points in approx. 74 days.
You may, however, still replay it now to complete a challenge, quiz of the hour, etc, but you will receive no points.

I was right in thinking there were so many quizzes I've since improved my knowledge on and thanks for taking the idea and implementing it as I thought it would work. Absolutely love it and no bugs so far.

Thank you for this. I've been on this site since 2005 so, needless to say, I've played a lot of quizzes (78,000+ at this point). Some of these haven't had the best scores so there's an incentive to replay them. Also, most of the challenges I get to play 15-20 listed quizzes are for ones I've already played so, once again, it's a challenge to better my previous scores.

I really appreciate this new feature: thank you.

By any chance could it be extended to crossword puzzles?

There are situations when I'm "forced" to replay puzzles, like Crossword of the Week or the occasional Daily Challenge. I know there's another bonus, but it would be good to gain some additional benefit.

The improvement with a crossword would be completing it in a faster time, or in Hard rather than Easy mode.

As a dedicated crossword fan (who would have guessed?) I second psnz's suggestions, for the same reasons, and also because there are occasions when we've had to complete in easy mode because the crossword contains errors. Doesn't happen so often with the current checking process, but certainly with some of the older ones where the clues are incorrect or there is misspelling within the grid (and i don't mean variations).
Players might be more inclined to use correction notices if they knew they had a chance of playing it through correctly in a few months time.

Some of the older constructs had very few crossings, making it much more difficult to get right first time.
