Question

Captivate 9: Can't assign a point score to an "Advanced Answer" option on quizzing

Hi!

I have a project, using branching, ("branch aware" selected) that has a quiz question where users can choose from 3 answers. Each one 'jumps' them to a different slide and give them a different score. So far so good. I also have the standard "correct" and "incorrect" answer having "no action".

Next, I have selected "partial score" and "advanced answer". All three answers have this set up. When I apply certain points to my first answer it works. If I try and do this to either of the other answers, it keeps changing my point score down to "0".

Any ideas why?

Thanks!

Can you explain your work flow? Individual score and penalty for an answer

have to defined in the Properties, not in Quiz Properties panrl.

Hi Lilybiri,

We have three answers. Answer:

a) scores 2 points, jumps to slide 6

b) scores 1 point, jumps to slide 7

c) scores 3, jumps to slide 8

I cannot apply any points to my answers, apart from answer a). If I remove this score from answer a) then I still cannot add it to the other answers.

I am defining the score from the 'properties' panel once the 'advanced answer' option is ticked. (please see screenshot below)

The 'points' keeps changing back to "0".

Thank you

You are leaving the quiz slide, that is not meant to be done! The user is supposed to choose an answer, then click Submit. Since you have partial scoring, that means he has to choose ALL the correct answers before submitting,  to get the maximum score for the quiz slide. That is the design of question slides, which you are probably not aware of.

What do you really want to do? It seems not to be a MCQ slide with multiple correct answers, which is the scenario partial scoring is used for. Maybe I can offer you an alternative approach?
