Can a quiz be set up using branching so different users are directed to different groups of questions?
The problem I have come across is the scoring. I only want users to answer questions in a group relevant to them and the scoring only take those questions into account.
So my plan would be to ask a survey question which has branching included that takes the users to one of two groups of questions, they would then be given a score based on their responses.

Is this possible?

Yes, I think it's possible. After you create the survey question, create the question groups, and with the last question in each group branch to finish quiz.
In theory it does and you can direct the user off to a group of questions but the scoring is still out of the total questions.
So if I have 2 groups of 5 questions when the user finishes they will only have answered 5 of the questions therefore the highest score they can achieve is 50%
If you have two quizzes in PowerPoint the publish SCORM settings only allow 1 quiz to be used as completion. But It looks like Quizmaker can handle the scoring all on its own.
With a bit of digging and playing around I managed to set up the following:
Question 1 true/false with zero points awarded.
Which group are you in?
Group 1(correct)
Group 2(incorrect)
Feedback for correct includes branching to Question 1 group 1
Feedback for incorrect includes branching to Question 1 group 2
The last question for each group has the branching for correct and incorrect answers set to finish the quiz.
This seems to work perfectly for what I am trying to achieve, hope it helps someone else. I guess if you have more than 2 groups of questions you want the users you would have to drill down to the group by asking multiple true/false questions, something like:
Are you in..
Group 1 or 2?
Group 3 or 4?
And so on.. as you only have the correct and incorrect answers feedback panels to utilise for the branching.
I am working on a game and have 10 questions in all. Each question slide has a 'Your score' section which displays the score of the user for each question. For eg. after the 1st question the 'Your Score' section should display 'Your Score: 10/100'.
I am geting the final score on the Result slide but want to display the score on each question slide.
Hi Vasim and welcome to E-Learning Heroes! I think that you may find what you need on this forum thread. Just let us know if you need anything further.
Hi, I came across your thread and was wondering if you were using Quizmaker '09 or '13/360? I'm having this problem with 360, I can not get it to score just the group of questions learners are seeing. Thanks for your help!
To get around the scoring problems, I have since started setting variables based on the users selection in the branching quiz. We then use layers on the question slides, to display the correct question to the correct users.
Points to note, you need the same number of questions for each group of users, turn off shuffling of answers and make sure the correct answer for each layer is in the right position.

Unfortunately that doesn't work.

Tony,
This would work if there is a way to change the code so that a score of 50% is equivalent to 100% inside of Quizmaker
Another option is to create two different quizzes and bring them into powerpoint and on a slide put hyperlinks to those slides.

Tony,
Glad you figured it out. In looking at your solution, this came to mind:
How about instead of multiple true/false, use a multiple choice question with 0 points and then branch.
Wouldn't this be better than multiple true/false for multiple groups????
Yes, obvious when you say it.
Just set the feedback to Answer instead of Question and you can have as many options as you want.
Cheers

Can anyone suggest me in this regards.

Hi Jenny,
This thread is a bit dated and I'm sure the user was not utilizing 360 at that time.
I responded to a similar post here and I know that you are working with support as well.
Looks like I've failed to welcome you to E-Learning Heroes though, so welcome!
