I am trying to achieve a slide that draws one question at a time randomly from a question bank. I would like each question to be triggered when the user clicks a button, and when they have 5 correct answers, a slide layer is revealed. I have set up a variable to do this (Ithink!). I can't get it to work. Can you help?
Going back and forth the way you are effectively removes the random features of the QB so I've created T/F variables for each question q1,q2 etc so that if one is used it gets bypassed the next time the user goes to the question bank.
For testing I also put a shape with the question number so you can see it is drawing randomly.
Also, because Sl is checking a variable each time it hits a quiz slide in the question bank to see if it has already been used, there is a slight blip as it flashes. There is no way of removing this unless you perhaps want to add a transition to the quiz slides that will make it a little less noticeable.
If you attempt more than 8 questions and still don't have five correct, the slide goes nuts. Would it help this if I put more questions in the question bank?
Maybe you consider this method. I have added 10 Questions in the question pool and it require to have 5 correct answers to display the final slide. You may need to fine tune this method as there are only 10 questions. You may change the condition of 50. I choose 50 because there are 10 questions and it requires 5 correct answers.
that would be a instructional design decision - sure you could add more to the question bank but I would be thinking if they've tried 8 times and haven't got 5 correct at what stage do you then feedback there may be issue or should you look at whether the content is giving them the answers (unless this is a pre-test).
The text box is just the variable reference that you can delete off - I put it on for testing purposes only to make sure the variable is ticking over.
Hello Bronwyn - I was able to get the last file you shared here to open - fatigue_module_3.story, but there are no questions in the question bank?
Not sure if you are working with someone offline now, but if you need us to take a look, feel free to share an updated file so that we can take a look.

Hi Bronwyn
is this going to be graded - will there be a result slide? or you are just using the bank to draw random questions?
No, not graded - no result slide. Just using the bank to draw random questions (with no repeats if possible)

Anyway, hope this helps or gives you an idea.
Thanks so much - will go and ponder and play. I can't believe just how heroic you heroes are - just amazing!!!
No worries Bronwyn - hope it works for you and shout out if you have any questions about the setup.
Good luck with your project!
Hi Wendy....just a small problem still...
If you attempt more than 8 questions and still don't have five correct, the slide goes nuts. Would it help this if I put more questions in the question bank?
Also, this is showing on screen. How can I hide it?
OK - just figured out the answer to that...

Perhaps Rex's example works better for you.
Really sorry to be a pain people but I still can't get it to work.....scene attached
Hi Bronwyn
I can't open the file it keeps crashing SL.
Oh dear - going nuts here.... When I try to isolate scene, all the questions drop out. It I send the entire project, can you take it off line?
