How does learner limit work in teacher plans?
Learn how monthly learner limit works in teacher plans, how unique learners are counted, and what happens when the limit becomes full.
Teacher plans on Quiz Pathshala may include a monthly learner limit.
This limit controls how many unique learners can attempt quizzes created by a teacher during a plan cycle.
What is learner limit?
Learner limit means the maximum number of unique learners who can attempt a teacher’s quizzes during the active plan cycle.
It is not the same as total quiz attempts.
It is based on unique learners.
What does unique learner mean?
A unique learner means one learner account.
If the same learner attempts the teacher’s quizzes multiple times, that learner is usually counted once for the monthly learner limit.
For example, if one learner attempts 5 quizzes created by the same teacher, that learner may still count as 1 unique learner for that teacher’s plan cycle.
Example of learner limit
If a teacher plan has a learner limit of 50:
First 50 unique learners can attempt that teacher’s quizzes
The same 50 learners may attempt quizzes based on quiz rules
The 51st new learner may not be able to attempt the teacher’s quizzes
New learners may need to wait until the limit resets or the teacher upgrades the plan
Learner limit is monthly
Learner limit works according to the teacher plan cycle.
When the monthly cycle resets, the learner limit may become available again for the new cycle.
If the limit is full, new learners may not be able to attempt the teacher’s quizzes until:
The next monthly cycle starts
The teacher upgrades the plan
A higher learner limit becomes available
Learner limit and quiz attempts are different
Learner limit and attempt limit are different.
Learner limit
Learner limit controls how many unique learners can attempt quizzes created by a teacher during the plan cycle.
Attempt limit
Attempt limit controls how many times a learner can attempt a specific quiz.
For example, a teacher may allow 3 attempts for one quiz, but the learner still counts as one unique learner for the learner limit.
Learner limit and access code
Access code helps teachers protect their learner limit.
If all quizzes are public, unknown learners may attempt the quizzes and use the monthly learner limit quickly.
If a teacher wants only selected learners to attempt a quiz, the teacher should use an access code.
This helps make sure that only intended learners can attempt the quiz.
Learner limit and public quizzes
Public quizzes do not require an access code.
If a public quiz is visible and available, logged-in learners may attempt it based on quiz rules.
When a new learner attempts a teacher’s quiz, that learner may be counted in the teacher’s monthly learner limit.
Learner limit and private quizzes
Private quizzes require the correct access code.
Even if a learner has the correct access code, access still depends on the monthly learner limit.
If the learner limit is already full, a new learner may not be able to attempt the quiz.
What happens when learner limit is full?
When the teacher’s learner limit is full, new learners may not be able to attempt that teacher’s quizzes.
Learners who are already counted in the current cycle may continue based on quiz rules, attempt limit, schedule, and platform settings.
How can teachers avoid wasting learner limit?
Teachers can manage learner limit carefully.
Helpful practices:
Use access code for selected learners
Avoid making every quiz public if it is only for a batch or group
Share private quiz codes only with intended learners
Use different access codes for different batches if needed
Monitor attempts and learner activity
Upgrade the plan if more learners need access
Can teachers upgrade plan if learner limit is full?
Yes. If more learners need access, the teacher may upgrade to a plan with a higher learner limit if available.
After upgrade, more learners may be able to attempt the teacher’s quizzes based on the new plan limit and platform rules.
What if the teacher plan expires?
If the teacher plan or trial becomes inactive, learners may not be able to attempt that teacher’s quizzes.
Teacher-created quizzes depend on active plan status, learner limit, quiz status, schedule, and other access rules.
Does learner limit apply to learner category purchases?
Teacher plan learner limit is related to teacher-created quizzes.
Learner category purchases on Quiz Pathshala are separate from teacher plan learner limit.
A learner buying access to a Quiz Pathshala category does not increase or change a teacher’s monthly learner limit.
Important note
Learner limit means the number of unique learners who can attempt a teacher’s quizzes during the active plan cycle.
It is different from quiz attempt limit.
Access code can help teachers protect their learner limit by allowing only intended learners to attempt private quizzes.
If the learner limit becomes full, new learners may need to wait for the next cycle or the teacher may need to upgrade the plan.
