How to reset Pretest questions?

Question

I have a course which has pretest quiz which includes 5 pretest questions at the beginning. At the end I have the post test which has its result page. Now, the post test result page has a "Retake Course" button, which takes user to the first screen i.e. splash screen which is followed by the pretest. When user retake the course the pretest questions are already visited and thus they are disabled. Thus the user gets locked on the first pretest question screen.

Is there any way to reset the pretest questions, such that when user selects the Retake Course button the pretest would get reset and user can again attempt the same and move forward?

Pretest slides come with very strict rules, I will rarely use them for that reason. You bumped on one: there is no way to allow multiple attempts on the total level, which means you cannot reset it. You are supposed to have the pretest slides right at the beginning of the course, in sequence and the actions defined on Success and On Failure will then be done based on the result of the Pretest. No coming back to the pretest.

Possible workarounds: have the pretest as a normal quiz in a separate file that you can call again on returning to the start. Second possibility: use normal question slides for the Pretest, but don't add the score to the total Score (final quiz) but calculate the score in a user variable and act based on that variable. Third possibility (most work, most control): create custom question slides using standard objects, learning interactions, variables and advanced/shared actions for the pretest questions. Whenever possible I would use the last approach, must confess that I have created a lot of custom question slides (check my blog).
