Scoring branched scenario

Aug 28, 2015

I want to create a quiz in Quizmaker '09 with this structure:

Section A - mandatory

Section B and Section C - optional, must do one or the other. Equal points scores.

E.g. Exam on growing vegetables, Section A (10 points) is general questions about general planting techniques , and then candidates have chosen to study either how to grow potatoes OR carrots, and they then have to choose which section they answer - Section B on potatoes (5 points) or Section C on carrots (5 points).

Total pass mark is a total percentage mark for either A+B (15) or A+C (15).

I have created a branched scenario to do this. At the end of Section A there is a "choice" slide with feedback by answer, where the candidate chooses B or C, and the feedback by answer advances them to the start of B or C.

At the end of Section B there is a slide with feedback by answer, only one answer which Finishes the Quiz, to prevent them automatically going on to do C at the end of B.

This all works fine apart from the scoring.  The only way to get the "choice" slide to work is to have the Player template set to "submit one question at a time".  Each question has only 1 attempt allowed.  But that means, if I only answer 1 question, answer correct, and then navigate with the dropdown menu to the Finish slide, I get 100%.  What I want in that case is to get the percentage of correct answers out of total points in A+B (15), or A+C (15) (B&C are equal points).

I want this "percentage of total" score reported to the LMS as the Pass/Fail result.

An easy way I can think of doing this would be to hide the navigation menu so they can only proceed through the quiz from start to finish and not jump to the end.

I think the answer is "you can't do this". As I found here.

But I'm just checking, as this seems like it should be a common requirement to have optional sections in exams.
