Question

Is it possible to penalize each attempt in a test?

Hi

I am writing today to ask a question.

How do you do a test with several questions, with only one attempt per question, and with 3 attempts in the test? but that in each attempt the final score is penalized, for example with -10%.

 

This last programming is the one that I have not been able to find in any tutorial or discussion forum, I thank you in advance for your attention and a possible answer.

    What you would need to do is have the ability to use Conditional Advanced Actions to over-ride the final score that is reported to the LMS based on how many quiz attempts the user needed to pass.

     

    Captivate does not provide any default way of achieving what you describe here.  It could be done by a competent JavaScript programmer.  If you do not have access to JS programming skills, it can also be done using the CpExtra HTML5 widget in combination with Conditional Advanced Actions via the xcmndScore command variable.

    Be aware this widget is not free.
