Force user to correctly answer Multiple Response question before proceeding with hint (after 1st attempt) and shown answer (after 2nd attempt)

Hey Mark! 

You may want to check out this thread where I helped another user recently. This should at least get you started and then let us know if you need anything else. 

Thanks Ashley and sorry it took me two weeks to get back on this project.  The example you referenced above is for a "Pick One" multiple choice question and my question is a "Pick Many."  With the Pick Many, I don't see an option for "Feedback by Choice."

Hi Mark,

No worries - we're still here. :-)

Correct, the pick many doesn't have a feedback by choice. You may want to look at a few other threads such as this one, or this one.  It's a bit more customized set up using the pick many option. 

Here's my sample file.  After the second attempt (and every attempt thereafter - the number of attempts is unlimited), I want to point out the correct configuration.  But instead of allowing them to proceed, I want to force the user to answer the question correctly before they proceed to the next slide. 

Hi Mark,

So only after the second attempt you'd want the user to see the correct answer, but have to continue answering the question? If so, I'd look at setting the attempts to unlimited, and then customize a second try again layer to be shown after the second attempt. You could track that using a variable on the first "try again" layer and since it's only two attempts before seeing the correct answer, a true/false variable would work. Once the value of the variable is True, and the user submits the question that is still incorrect you'll set it up to show the other try again layer with the correct information. 

You may want to review the information here on working with variables. 

Thanks Ashley.  I've worked all morning on this and can't get it to work as you suggested (and I would classify my knowledge and use of variables as very good). 

Success (finally)!!  I abandoned the Freeform question type and just went with straight-up layers with a number variables (I could not get a T/F variable to work, but I made a lot of revisions after switching to numbers, so it should work as well).  Attached is my solution.  The downside of this is that I don't have the built-in "you must answer the question" feedback, but that could be added in another layer.

Hi Mark,

I'm glad you were able to figure out a method that worked for you and thanks for sharing your example here as well. 

Thanks Mark for your excellent examples.

Cheers,

Michael
