How to retake quiz after you review the quiz

As you have discovered, Captivate locks down the quiz results screen and doesn't allow the retake quiz button after the quiz has been reviewed... there are a thousand educational arguments to be made on this point on both sides, but it should be an option (it's not Captivate's place to tell us whether or not we should).

I've found a way around this limitation that I use when retaking is appropriate after reviewing the test...

I keep the review quiz button on the score page, but do not include the retake button on that screen.  I've replaced the "continue" button with the same Next button the learner was using throughout the course and this takes them to a new final page of the course.  This page has two "groups" - a "QuizPassed" group and a "QuizFailed" group.

On Enter runs a conditional advanced action - the logic is:

• If the learner passed the test, show the "QuizPassed" group (happy graphic with congratulatory text telling them to click the Exit button to close the course).
• Else, show the "QuizFailed" group (sad graphic, a 'try again' button, and advisory text telling them they can click Exit to close the course, or they can click the 'try again' button to retake the quiz).  The try again button simply branches to the quiz's welcome page.  Captivate appears to clear the scores from the previous attempt and increases the number of tries by one, so the simple branch appears to do what's needed.

I haven't found the right variable for passing percentage, so I've had to rig my condition a bit... example - on a ten question quiz that requires 8 or more correct answers, the condition is this:

IF

cpQuizInfoTotalCorrectAnswers is less than 8

ACTIONS

Hide QuizPassed

Show QuizFailed

ELSE

Show QuizPassed

Hide QuizFailed

(again, QuizFailed group includes a 'try again' button that branches them to the Quiz's welcome page.)

I'll let others argue the instructional sins I'm committing by allowing learners to review a quiz and then retake it... but that's how it can be done in Captivate.

It is simply not possible, Quiz is designed so that you lose all further attempts on quiz level if you have used Review.

For that reason I always recommend to drag the Review button under the Retake button. Have a look at:
