Limit the Number of Attempts
Captions available
The idea
Repeated sticks cause pain and distress, so the number of attempts is limited.
In practice
For children, if two attempts do not produce a good sample, a second opinion decides whether to try again or cancel the tests.
Where people slip
Follow the practice's policy on attempts for adults as well, and ask for help instead of trying again and again.
Your place on the trail
Every lesson rests on earlier ones and opens later ones. Tap any to jump.
