Conditional quiz set up- Plz help!!!!!!!!!!!!

Question

HiMy test has 100 questions/quiz slides. I want to set up a condition or look for a way in which as soon as my students reach a certain point (let say 20 points), he will be able to jump to a new content slide instead of having to complete 100 questions/quiz items. In another word, a student A completes the first 20 questions and earns 20 points, he will be able to jump to a new content slide. A student B completes 30 questions and earn 20 points (wrong answers will get penalty), he will then move to a new content slide. There will be chances that some students will need to complete all 100 questions to be able to move to a new content slide.Could any of you tell me if there is a way to do this in Captivate 9? Thanks!

There is, but it's not done with just a few clicks.

You have to set up tracking variables that keep track of the number of points the student has accumulated. These tracking variables would be incremented by conditional actions triggered by the On Success actions of each quiz question slide. These conditional actions would be using System Variables (either cpQuizInfoLastSlidePointScored or cpQuizInfoPointsPerQuestionSlide, not sure which would be best) to determine by how much the tracking variables should be incremented with each quiz question.

You might also need to be using Branch Aware as your description indicates that the learner would NOT likely be visiting each and every quiz question.

I've never set up a quiz in this way before, so I cannot tell you exactly how it should work or whether or not you will have issues with getting your LMS to play ball with it.

Do you need to report the score to a LMS? Or is it only meant to be checked to go to the content slide? That is important, because in the first scenario you have indeed to use the Branch aware option. It will limit navigation possibilities, as I explained in this blog post:

As for the question itself, I once explained an approach to get users out of the quiz if they failed too much questions. It was necessary in that case to keep track of the acquired score as well. Maybe that use case could offer some inspiration?
