Random question slides Captivate 9

I have seen old posts on this but was wondering if Captivate 9 had come up with a solution.  I have a project with multiple topics.  At the end of each topic, the user gets a random question from a pool of 3 questions.  If they answer correctly, they go onto the next section, if they get it wrong, they review the section again.  Problem is the same question is coming up because they have not exited the project.  And the slide is stuck because it is set to only give them one attempt.  I would love to know if there is an easy way around this.  I suspect not but it is worth a try.

I have a quiz in which I have created random question slides to pull questions from different question pools. But when I preview the quiz or test it in scorm cloud the randomization does not seem to happen. It keeps on pulling the same questions without randomizing. Has anyone come across this problem and has found a solution? Would appreciate any help with this.

During the same session, the same random slide will never be replaced by another random slide. When you restart the course the random questions are renewed.

There is no easy way out of the box. Since you are talking about pools with a limited set of questions, you could design a workaround by using a random number (easily generated with a JS statement) and creating navigation using Advanced/Shared actions and variables. You didn't specify if you need to report the score to a LMS, or these are only Knowledge Check slides?

They are just knowledge check slides
