Quiz questions scoring incorrectly

Really hoping someone can help!

I am using Captivate 2019. I have a quiz within one of my programs that is made up of 15 questions with a point value of 1 and penalty value of 0, and one drag and drop interaction with a point value of 1. Giving my quiz a total point value of 16.

However in the pass/fail section of the edit preferences it is showing my course has a total point value of 166. I have checked to see if any of the click boxes and buttons were included in the quiz and none of them are. According to the Advanced interactions window there is a total of 16 points. 

 

I'm hoping someone will have a suggestion on how to find my missing 150 points.

    Did you check the value of the system variable cpQuizInfoTotalQuizPoints? If not, please do ...

    I wonder if it is not a glitch in the Preferences. 

    Which exact version do you use? You find the full version number under Help, About Captivate.

    Hi Lilybiri, 

    I just checked the value of cpQuizInfoTotalQuizPoints on the variable screen and it has a value of 0. 

    I am on 2019 release version 11.5.1.499.

    New to Quizzing System variables? You cannot check that value in the Variables dialog box, that is just the definition of the variables, and 0 is the start value before you insert the first scored object.

    To check that value you have to insert it into your project in a text container on a slide in your project, as explained in this post:

    Since this is a fixed system variable, except when you have Branch aware checked in Quiz setup, you should be able to see its value. I suspect it will be 16, which is the value used on the score slide and for the calculation of the perecntage.
