Customizing Quizes

Here's what I want to do: Allow learners to skip over questions on the post-assessment that they already have correct on the pre-assessment.
How I'm doing it: I'm using variables to track when a question was answered correctly in the pre-assessmenet and if the variable is true, a trigger in the post-assessment to skip that question.
The problem: The quiz is counting the skipped questions as wrong even though I've selected the option to only count questions viewed. I'm assuming this is because the triggers I'm using are set to trigger when the timeline on the slide starts.
Things I've tried:
- Manually adjusting score points using the built in variable for the quiz (Didn't work)
- Manually adding points to the quiz score using the built in variable (didn't work)
- Tried setting Question.Correct to true before skipping the question in the trigger list to see if that would update the points (didn't work)
Any suggestions?

If a question in the post-assessment should be skipped, don't go to it at all.
To skip it entirely, you'll need to have multiple "jump to slide__" triggers with conditions that check your variables to determine which slide the user should jump to. Needless to say, you'll have to do A LOT of testing to ensure all the triggers work correctly.
Personally, I think it'd be better to just have them answer every question in the post-assessment. After all, they might have guessed some correct answers in the pre-test. And if they truly know the content, it won't take them long to answer correctly again.
