Quizz with questions from chosen lessons

I'm tryng to fugure out how to make a quizz with questions from chosen lessons.

The idea is that the student chooses the lessons from which he/she wants the questions. After selection, a quiz starts with 10 (or 20) questions from the selected lessons.

Is this even possible in Captivate 2017? 

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Although theoretically this would be possible using question pools and branch aware, I would not recommend it for several reasons (file will be very large, management difficult etc). Why not just use a main file that will switch to other files depending on the choice made? Moreover if you are using a LMS, it would even be better to use the functionality of that LMS which normally would allow such choices.

Thanks Lilybiri for Your suggestion.

I' ve already made, like you wrote, main file with Lessons as buttons linked to 6 Lessons files with quizz questions, and this is working fine. But in this way student can only select one lesson.

I'm not using LMS, the project will be made as an web site...

Link back to the main file from the lesson files. If you want to keep track of the lessons already viewed (since you don't have a LMS) you'll need to use ltracking variables and ocal storage to exchange values. That can be done by Javascript or by using the CpExtra widget (HMTML5 output only) by InfoSemantics. You can download a trial version if you want to test:
