Simulation Test with different score per attempt

[mgv001]

Hi, for the simulation scenario, wherein we need to add score by using click box or text entry box, how can we update the score if each of the step in the simulation, there are 5 slides (attempts) which will have different score. Please note that users are given 4 attempts per step, and 1 see me. 

Step 1

1st attempt is correct, user will go to the next step and score will be 5

2nd attempt is correct (1st is incorrect), user will go to the next step and score will be 3

3rd attempt is correct (1st & 2nd attempts are incorrect), user will go to the next step and score will be 2

4th attempt is correct (first 3 attempts are incorrect), user will go to the next step and score will be 1

5th slide will be a see me and there will be no score, it will then go to the next step once the user watched the video demo (see me)

Step 2

1st attempt is correct, user will go to the next step and score will be 5

2nd attempt is correct (1st is incorrect), user will go to the next step and score will be 3

3rd attempt is correct (1st & 2nd attempts are incorrect), user will go to the next step and score will be 2

4th attempt is correct (first 3 attempts are incorrect), user will go to the next step and score will be 1

5th slide will be a see me and there will be no score, it will then go to the next step once the user watched the video demo (see me)

Step 3

1st attempt is correct, user will go to the next step and score will be 5

2nd attempt is correct (1st is incorrect), user will go to the next step and score will be 3

3rd attempt is correct (1st & 2nd attempts are incorrect), user will go to the next step and score will be 2

4th attempt is correct (first 3 attempts are incorrect), user will go to the next step and score will be 1

5th slide will be a see me and there will be no score, it will then go to the next step once the user watched the video demo (see me)

For the example above, the maximum score that user can get should be 15 points only. If the user get the 15 points, user should get a passing mark with 100% accuracy. Have tried execute advanced actions but either captivate adds up all the clicks (33) and user get a failing mark or the score that gets recorded is just for the 5 points, the other score automatically become zero.  Please note that captivate version is 11.8.0.586. Thank you

Welcome to the forum.

Captivate never had the possibility to decrease the score for multiple attempts for any interactive object.  At least if you want to transfer the score to a LMS.  It is possible with shared/advanced actions to create a 'correct' score, eventually in combination with Branch aware but the best approach would be by using JavaScript to total the score in a user variable and transmit it to the quizzing system variables at the end. I am using CpExtra for that purpose, after decades of programming I don't like to script anymore. Maybe a JS expert will pop in.

Quite a while ago I wrote this blog post, but supposing no result needed to be transmitted to a LMS:

Link score to attempts in Custom questions - Captivate blog (lilybiri.com)

Sorry, that was still in the SWF eon... the example will not play in a recent browser since Flash Player was ended.

Thanks @Lilybiri  for your response.  The score needs to be transmitted in LMS. We may opt for another RAT that will help us create the module with the logic I have posted in my query. But I will surely try the the information in your blog for my own learning. Thanks again.

Having only one quiz per project is a SCORM requirement... same for all eLearning authoring tools.

I created some custom results slide in my most recent post which was about quiz localisation and to show which features were lacking to make this a complete user experience. I included several links to feature requests and bug reports. Priority for the team is based on votes, maybe you could support some of them:
