how are you doing a timer? Is it based on layers opening closing? If so you need to think through the logic, by default layers will close other layers if this breaks the timer then you need to uncheck this option in the layer properties and add logic to hide layers.
it is because you are hiding objects on the base layer
to jump to the next slide you probably need to add a numeric variable on on the master add a trigger to add 1 to the variable when timeline ends.
On your slide add a trigger to jump to next slide when your variable changes, as it is a quiz you may have a problem with an invalid answer, or it may not be an issue

In your correct/incorrect layers' properties panel, try deselecting 'Pause timeline of baselayer'.
Hi Michael,
Thank you for your instant response.
I have un-checked the Pause timeline of baselayer, still.... when I click the "book" to get the text, the timer stops.
What I need is the timer to keep on running despite a layer is opened.

Hi Phil,
I made the timer manually in the timeline. It is already put in the master slide with the idea that opening a layer will not affect
the timeline. It seems that I am wrong. I have uncheck the option in the layer properties, still does not work as intended.
I cannot figure out what goes wrong.
Please see my file, the layer I open is the reading passage.
Thanks.
Thanks Phil,
I have uncheck every checked options, and the timer keeps running!
The next problem is how to move to the next slide when the timer is over
even when no answer choice is clicked.
At the moment, the timer will reset if no option is chosen.
Sorry I dont see a file

Ooh... let me attached the file again.
Adding one more choice TIME IS OVER and then editing the submit trigger works fine as intended,
but then I don't know where to get the INVALID ANSWER for re-adjustment.
Thanks Phil. I will try with variable then....
Unfortunately, I need to learn more about variables.....
