Quiz Attempts Query

Hi Guys,

I have a assessment in the module which comes after completing the module. I need three attempts there in the quiz, and if user fails in all attempts, then he/she needs to complete or read the whole module again to take fourth attempt of quiz.

Is there any possibilities to make it functional like that.

Please share your feedback or suggestions on this.

You can certainly set up Conditional Advanced Actions that use the System Variable cpQuizInfoAttempts to track how many times the user has attempted the quiz, and then use this information to alter navigation. But you'll also need to use extra User Variables and explanatory information slides as well to control the Use Case so that it makes sense to the learner rather than confusing them.

For example, cpQuizInfoAttempts gets set from 0 to 1 as soon as the learner enters the quiz for the first time and will be incremented by one every time thereafter that they take the quiz until they reach the maximum number of allowed attempts.

So if you give them 4 attempts allowed at the quiz, your Conditional Advanced Action could be executed ON SLIDE ENTER of the Quiz Result Slide, checking the current value of cpQuizInfoAttempts and other quizzing system variables at that point to see if the learner is up to 3 attempts and has still not achieved a passing score. Then if so, the Conditional Action will kick in and send them to a slide near the beginning of the module which should inform them of their requirement to view the content again before getting another go at the quiz.

Now the only way the learner can reset the quiz for a new attempt is via the Retake Quiz button on the Quiz Result slide (which you can only enable when there are multiple attempts allowed).  Your Conditional Action is diverting the learner right at the start of the Quiz Results slide before they would have had the chance to click that button for the fourth attempt,  So, as the reach the end of the content section and get to quiz again, it's going to show them the answers they already entered during their third attempt and the slides will be locked.  So you'll need another Conditional Action at that point to jump them OVER the quiz slides to get to the Quiz Results slide again to initiate that fourth attempt. 

This is just a few of the things you will likely need to allow for.  Do you really feel your current knowledge of Captivate is up for this?
