Question

How do I create quiz question categories?

I have tried to use advanced actions (variable, increment variable, output variable). However, my output always says 0 when outputting variable on quiz results. Is this a bug or am I missing something?

    Can you explain a bit more in detail what you want? I cannot figure out what the link is between "quiz categories" and an advanced action that increments a user variable.

    Sure. Say I have 100 questions and I want to split them into groups of 10 so that the scoring looks something like this:

    Category 1: 60%

    Category 2: 80%

    etc.

    etc.

    I tried doing this by setting up variables for each category- cat_1, cat_2, etc. Then, having an advanced action expression: cat_1 = cat_1 + 10 and then assigning that to " on success". On the results screen, I tried to output $$cat_1$$ but it keeps showing 0, regardless of the number of correct answers.

    I still don't understand at all. What is the meaning of the percentages: pass score? Are you talking about the default type of quiz slides, those who use the quizzing master slides? If yes, you should know that all the quizzing system variables are read only, and those variables do appear on the score slide (maybe you call it results screen) and can be transmitted to a LMS. More info about the quizzing system variables in:

    Or maybe you want something like the work flow in this older blog:

    Intermediate Score Slides - Captivate blog

    If you talk about custom created question slides (using standard objects, learning interactions, variables and advanced actions), what do exactly want as scoring work flow?
