If you feel students are jumping too quickly into Certify, you can require them to go through the Practice mode in the learning path.

From your **Grade Book**, go to the **Assignments** tab, select **Curriculum**, and choose the template you want to change. Select the “Allow students to unsuccessfully attempt Certify __ times before requiring Practice.”

You can then choose how many times students can attempt Certify without mastering it before they must go through a Practice round.
