It actually depends on how your program is set up. Ours kept track of
the book for the year. Before the next school year, the students had to
be re-entered and the previous year's data was dumped. Now, we have the
update that allows us to track the books from year to year so once a
book is read, it is done. Of course I have some students who bombed a
book due to inattention, unfamiliarity with the program, etc. so my
librarian can delete a quiz taken on a case by case basis. Total
deleted for my class year last year was 4 I think. Two for special
needs students and two for a new student who know to wait for
instruction on how to take a test. This was third grade. Students who
know better get stuck with their tests and have to dig their way out of
their poor scores. That is another lesson that can be learned from this
program.
