Making pretest and quiz behave identically

I have a pretest and a quiz.  Pretest questions, and quiz questions are part of the same single quiz experience.  Has to be like this for technical reasons, cannot just all be quiz.

Pretest

q1

q2

q3

= SCORE A

Quiz

q4

q6

q6

= SCORE B

Pass requires 2/3 for pretest and 2/3 for quiz.

How do I make review quiz include the pretest as a contiguos review and allow full backwards and forward navigation in review of all pretest and quiz questions?

Thanks

The problem is, that captivate needs to see two quizzes, the student sees only one.

Quiz 1 - critical questions, a score of 10/13 must be achieved, as well as:

Quiz 2 - general questions, a score of 30/37 must be achieved.

I made this work using a pretest and a quiz and score slide with actions, but can't get the pretest reviewed.

Still can't see a method.


What you're seeing is simply a limitation of what the current application can do.

When Adobe added the Pre-test functionality, it was NOT set up to do exactly what you're wanting.  It doesn't get included in the Review Quiz mode.  There's nothing you can really do about that. 

My suggestion would get your first questions included in the Review Quiz (because they're all part of the same quiz) but as I have already stated a couple of times, Captivate only sees ONE quiz. 

If you don't like the way it works, feel free to log an enhancement request and wait a few versions.  You may get lucky.

If you want anything approaching this structure then DO NOT use Pretest Quiz slides.  Just make all of the quiz slides out of normal question slides.  You cannot get the Review Quiz to work with Pretests.

You will need to use Variables and Conditional Advanced Actions to control navigation and create some kind of division between the two sections of what Captivate will regard as just a single quiz.  You'll need to Allow Backward Navigation in the Quiz Settings. 

But you are going to run into problems in some areas for sure.  Your Review Quiz function will ONLY work once you get to the Quiz Results slide.

Thanks Rod

The questions need to be split into two categories, so essentially two separate quizzes with two separate scores, that must be combined into a single score.

Ideas?

If you're wanting each of these A and B sections to report separate scores TO THE LMS then you need to divide your CPTX into two different projects.  Captivate will only see ONE quiz per project file and report ONE score per project file.


We may be off track here.  My LMS is a server, custom built.  I create reports from the XML that the CPTX reports on entry to the scoring slide, regardless  that the scoring slide only tabulates the quiz, not the pre-test.

So, as it's set up as Pre-Test and Quiz as two separate entities, my variable tabulates and passes/fails based on combined scores from the two quizzes, it works and reports perfectly, but as per my original question I cant get review working on the pre-test slides, and as you've indicated this may not be possible using pre/test/quiz slides. 

So, I still need a solution as separate quizzes is not an option, they must be distinct quizzes in the same module and produce one XML, but still appear on quiz to the user.

Can you think of/explain a way I can setup normal slides as question slides, have two tabulations for the two separate quizzes, and have correct/incorrect responses when the user "reviews"?

Alternatively, as I have setup detailed feedback slides for each individual question, can I export their answer from each question in both the existing pretest and the existing quiz, to the relevant feedback slide so they can see their answer on that slide?
