Hi
I have a few slides with quizzes, but I cannot figure out how to allow the user to skip answering a question and go tot he next question.

Hi, Sarah! Thanks for your post.
Graded questions can't be skipped but you can allow the learner multiple tries for a question before marking it wrong and you can allow the learner to Retry the quiz as well.
Survey questions are a different story. They can be marked as required or not, allowing the learner to skip questions if appropriate.
Here are links to a couple of tutorials that should help:
Choosing the number of attempts
Required or optional survey questions
I hope that helps.

Chip has it right (of course!), but I think you may be able "simulate" the skipped question...
Have on each multiple choice question an answer saying something like "D - Skip This Question - you may skip up to X questions".
Then set your question values such that they need only correctly answer a set number correctly (total available - the X amount they can skip). Example set question values at 20 points each and only require 80 points to pass. Provide 6 questions, allowing them to "skip" 2 of them (by answering the D-choice) and still pass the quiz.
Hope this helps!

Oh, I like that a lot! Nice suggestion, Bob!

So there is no way to allow students to save a question and go back to it later before finishing their test?

Hi, Martin, and welcome to E-Learning Heroes! ✨
You can allow your students to change their answers during the quiz by submitting them at once instead of after each question. Take a look at the instructions below:

Thank you Maria. This could work for my needs. I don't see how to "change the navigation controls from Submit buttons to Prev/Next buttons" though.

Hi, Martin.
On Slide View, right-click the base layer and select Properties. From the Slide Properties, you can uncheck Submit and check Prev and Next:

If you have multiple slides, you can also change them all at once from Story View:

It looks like you're doing that in Storyline. I am working Quizmaker and I don't have a "Base layer" option in my slide view.

Hi, Martin.
I am so sorry! You are right, as the instructions above are for Storyline. For Quizmaker, you can change the options in the Player Properties:

I hope this helps!
