Question

Need help reverse engineering the Multiple Choice slide

I am fairly new to Captivate and am using Captivate 2017.

I want to use the Multiple choice slide format for both a training segment and an assessment segment of the same content. However, I want the training portion not to score and the assessment section to score. Changing to a survey instead of graded doesn't give me the failure state that I want for the training portion of the content. 

I can't seem to figure out how the Review area tells the state to change, or exactly where I turn off the scoring since telling the training slides not to report doesn't seem to work on the quiz results. 

Can someone direct me to how the parts of the multiple choice work together - at least with regard to showing the failure state and scoring that? Plus, what determines which slides the quiz result slide counts?

Thanks,

    KC slides and Quiz slides use the same quizzing master slides. I tried to explain the differences in this article:

    Maybe the table to be downloaded from this recent post could help you as well:

    What Rod mentions is explained in that blog post. In the default setting for a KC slide the number of attempts is set to Infinite, and the learner is supposed to give a correct answer before proceeding to the next slide. For a new attempt it is logical that the Retry caption or shape appears, but you can change the text in that container.  If you reduce the number of attempts you'll get the Failure message after the last attempt.

    BTW I never stated that it cannot be more than one attempt in that article.

    For a non-scoring Multi-Choice quiz question, use the Knowledge Check question type, not the normal quiz question type.

    The Knowledge Check doesn't give me the failure option as a training experience, that I am looking for. I turned on 1 failure message in the properties pane, but it doesn't display if I "fail" the question - I just get the incomplete error when I fail the question. I need to know how to tie the failure state to the submit button, I guess - this is where I'm struggling.

    How many attempts do you have set for the Knowledge Check Question?

    If you have Infinite Attempts set for the question (the default setting) then you won't see any Failure captions.  Set it to 1 attempt and see what happens.
