I have a course that has a single quiz. I want to be able to change the passing score based on a variable, in this case, the person's job role. One job role requires a passing score of 85% and the other has a passing score of 70%.
In looking through other discussions, I see that it is not possible to change the read-only variable score.passingscore. I can set up two different quizzes with different passing scores and go to one or the other based on a variable (what is your job title?) But I can only pick one result slide or the other to report back to the LMS in the publishing options.
This seems like a fairly common scenario and would love to know a solution to this.
I'm not a pro at Storyline so there may be a better way to do this but here is something that I think works:
1) On the slide where they choose their job role, have a button that changes a corresponding true/false variable to true when they select that button.
2) Create a results slide for each job role with the passing score needed.
3) Create a slide after the quiz questions but before the results slides that is blank. This slide will have a trigger "Jump to [results slide job role 1] if variable [job role 1] is equal to TRUE.
Then create a 2nd variable on this slide to go to the 2nd job role if the variable for that role is TRUE.
Continue until you have a trigger for all job roles going to the respective results slide.
Jo - What happens if they do not achieve the minimum score? Can they retake the quiz during the same or different session, but not receive a 'completed' status in the LMS until they pass?
Here's why I ask- Rather than trying to create separate (quiz) results slides (as you mention, not possible), perhaps you can use the last slide ("slide x of x") reporting option. Learners would not reach this page unless they achieve the passing score, dependent on the role variable.
The logic flow would be something like this:
After quiz, learner is taken to a blank slide, which evaluates their quiz score and role. Depending on these factors, the learner is then redirected either to the very last/end slide or a different location (re-start quiz; new page with review information; etc.)
Role #1 (triggered somehow & tracked as %roleOneVariable%) %roleOneVariable% -> is %currentlyTrackedScore% >= 85% ? If so, go to last slide (success). If not, re-take quiz (or go to remedial page, etc.)
Role #2 (triggered somehow & tracked as %roleTwoVariable%) %roleTwoVariable% -> is %currentlyTrackedScore% >= 70% ? If so, go to last slide (success). If not, re-take quiz (or go to remedial page, etc.)
In this way, the last slide (which triggers LMS 'complete' status) is never reached unless their role-dependent score (variable) reaches the specified minimum.
I see where you're going with that but it won't work in this case. I need to report back to the LMS and can only select one of the two results slides in the Reporting & Tracking options.
So, this would give me a pass/fail to return to the LMS but not the actual score. That might work depending on how the client wants to track this. I'll give it a try!
Right, buuuut...you can still report a 'complete' to the LMS withoutusing the results slide. Theoretically, you could get rid of the result slides altogether and add/subtract from the custom score variable (mentioned above), based on quiz answers.
[whoops...I should've used the 'reply' button for the text below. #myBad]
Also, if you need to submit the actual quiz score to the LMS, you can add a trigger (button, probably) that has JavaScript code that can communicate to the LMS.

Looks like there are several articles on how to do this via SL-internally-triggered JavaScript - this one may help shed light on it: https://community.articulate.com/discussions/articulate-storyline/storyline-set-lms-status-with-javascript
Good luck.
