Access Restriction

[RedDog777]

I hope I am posting in the right spot.
Wondering if anyone could help me figure out why the access feature is not working. I am trying to use it to restrict access to menus and also to restrict access to articles.

I have created stepped access groups. Eg. School1, School 2, School 3, etc. A reader is put in the School 1 category and then he should only be able to see the menu and the article for School 1, when he completes a quiz for School 1 then he is moved to school 2 access - then the menu for School 2 should show up and when clicking the menu the article for School 2 should show up. Right now nothing is being restricted - he can see all the menus and all the articles. Any ideas on what I am missing or is the access restriction faulty in Joomla 3?
