Is is possible to has the Pass / Fail function count incorrect attempts when you have the infinite attempts selected?

if you want to keep it simple, why not copy te question 3 times and:

- set attempts to: 1

- on failure: continu

- on succes: jump to slide ..

it may not be the most beautifull solution but it does the job.

that way you can even set different failure messages and set different scores.

@Jonathan (your name sounds Dutch or Flemish). Hmmm, that will cause more problems because all quizzing system variables will take into account all questions. Those variables show in the score

slide and are reported to the LMS. I am sure this is not what you want.

Please could you explain a bit more? I'm not a native English speaker, maybe that is why I don't understand your question very well.

There is no Pass/fail function, Captivate has no functions. The system variable for Pass/Fail, cpQuizInfoPassFail has only two possible values: 0 or 1.

Secondly: are you talking about attempts on Quiz or on Question level, because for both levels you can have infinite attempts. If it is at Quiz level, there is another system variable cpQuizInfoAttempts, its value shows up on the default Score slide. That number minus 1 is the number of incorrect attempts? Or is it on Question level?

Hi Lilybiri

Thanks for the reply.  It is at the Question level.  If infinite attempts is selected then the variable cpQuizInfoAttempts does not record failed attempts at the question. 

What I am trying to do is to have infinite attempts on each questions of lets say 10 questions but to only allow (say) 3 incorrect attempts before the system records a Fail.

I think I have a way of doing it using remediation (have not tested this yet) but is there an easy way to do it without remediation.

I don't understand really: you want infinite attempts at question level, but record a fail after 3 attempts, why not limit the attempts to 3 in that case?

With the failure levels you can have different failure captions at each attempt.
