Multiple Answer; 12 answers, choose any 4

Hello,

I'm working on a self-assessment (survey) multiple answer quiz, where there are 12 possible choices. Ten choices are correct answers, and the viewer is asked to choose any 4. Is there any way in Captivate 8 to show results (display 'right' or 'wrong' choices, assign a percentage), or would I be looking at creating a generic results page that would say something like "Any of these answers would have been correct"?

Thanks!
Rob.

I had stumbled across your blog and was just reading it before you sent that reply!

I'll try to clarify; I have a multiple answer survey question where I have 12 answers, 10 of which are correct, and the user is asked to choose 4. Aside from setting that up, I would also set up a slide that includes a list of all of the possible correct answers (I could just enter that manually), but also shows the choices the user made. I'd like the user to view their results, but I don't need it reported. It's a self-assessment.

I'm assuming this is all done via variables. I guess I have some reading to do.

I would certainly go for a custom question slide in that case. Because the combination of having wrong answers and a choice of correct answers doesn't make it easy to implement using the default question slide. If you indicate the 10 answers as correct, and user indicates only 4 of them, the question will be considered failed, or if you use partial scoring as partially correct. The answers will be in the system quizzing variable cpQuizInfoAnswerChoice but that is a variable that is reused on each question slide. And it will have several values if it is a MultiAnswer MCQ slide.

Thank you for the help.

Would this then be a case of starting with and then customizing the default MCQ, or would it be a case of building a quiz slide from scratch on a blank slide?

Are you using a default question slide for this survey or a custom created slide?

Default, I suppose. I chose the Multiple Choice quiz slide from the quiz slide dialogue, and then chose the option for multiple answers. Is there another way to go? I've never gone further than the built-in question options before.

Mostly I create that type of questions with standard objects, advanced actions and variables, in other words a custom question. That gives you more control.

You'll have to give some more details about what you want on that 'results page' exactly? I don't think you are talking about a default score slide.

A Survey type is normally not scored, you are talking about 'percentage'? Once I wrote this blog post:
