If a student has used up the allotted number of test attempts, you can enable a re-take of the test by clearing the submitted attempt. This will erase the attempt completely, so if you want to retain any of the data (answers selected, score) you will need to do that first.

If the display period for the test has ended, you will need to make the test active again by editing the display dates. Adaptive Release will also be needed to restrict access to just that student.
