How to create a custom multiple choice with 3 tries

How to create a custom multiple with (single answers & multiple answers) by using multiple tries(eg 3 tries) to display the answers.

Don't want to use captivates default multiple choice. 

How to write a advanced action for this type of scenario?

Seems a simple question but that is not the case.

 Can you first explain the reasons not to use the default MCQ slides? Maybe tweaking such a slide will be a much easier workflow.

I have posted many blogs about the creation of custom questions using standard objects, interactions, variables and advanced/shared actions. There are many questions to be answered before trying to indicate links:

• I suppose you need a score, but do you need to transfer it to a LMS?
• For the MCQ with one correct answer, do you need Advanced Answer workflow?
• For the MCQ with multiple correct answers do you need partial scoring?
• Do you need the Retake functionality on Quiz level, same as for other quiz slides?
• Do you need the Review functionality on Quiz level?

Have used a lot of captivate default functionality. Trying the custom mcq for the 1st time. 

Is it possible to create a custom mcq with all the 5 bullet points you mentioned above? 
What kind of advanced action is required for that?

That will be a lot of advanced actions, and some not almost impossible. But you didn't answer my original question: why not first try tweaking the default MCQ slides? It is important to understand the default behavior of those slides in-depth before trying to replicate it with custom quiz slides. Although a lot is possible with advanced/shared actions eventually combined with JS, it will be very complicated to reproduce all the points I mentioned. In this blog post you'll find a pdf included with links to all the blogs I created about quizzes. You'll find both basics but also a lot of use cases with custom question slides.

Thank you!

I have tried the default MCQ already. Just wanted to practice on how to create the custom MCQ advanced actions.
