I am creating a course that has 10 quiz questions. On the results slide, instead of showing a final score, I would like to tell the user that they answered X/10 scenarios either correctly or incorrectly. I still want the score to report back to our LMS; however, the user just needs to know how many they got right or wrong.
Essentially the results slide would say something like:
Congratulations! You answered 9/10 question correctly!
Sorry! You only answered 3/10 correctly. Please try again.
I think this needs to be done using variables but I'm not entirely sure. Any help would be appreciated.
you could set up a number variable called 'score'.
On each quiz slide when the user answers the question correctly add a trigger: Adjust variable 'score' add 1 when you clicks submit button on condition that radio button x is selected or if you are showing feedback layers after each question you could put the trigger on the correct feedback layer.
On the result slide set up your correct/incorrect statements and insert the reference
You can set up a drag and drop to also track a variable, and you may find the example Ned created here helpful. Let us know if that doesn't do the trick, and what areas you need more help on!
Hi Ashley, Here's what we're looking to do. We want the results slide of an exam to show number of questions answered correctly out of the total number of questions. So we do not want to use score or percent for that. How can we have this calculated or converted automatically?
This is a complex slide showing overall total score then breakdown by topic. Here's an example of the idea we are looking to portray on the results slide.
Your Score 76% Passing Score: 75% ----------------------------------------------------- Anatomy 10 of 10 questions correct Kinesiology 7 of 10 questions correct Physiology 6 of 10 questions correct
Ah, thanks for clarifying! That's not something built-in to Storyline - we only pass the points scored for each question to the results slide as a variable. You could set up your own custom "Correct" variable by adding something to the feedback layers of all your questions. Something like "Add 1 to variable AnatomyCorrect when the Timeline on Correct Layer starts". That would allow you to add a custom text box on the results slide to showcase those variable values.
If you're stuck, share a copy of your .story file here with folks in the community and we can help you get started!
Hi Ashley, The caveat is that they will be receiving feedback only in the form of their score on the results slide. There will be no question by question feedback given.
How might we set it up in this case? Thanks in advance!
That'll depend on your question types - if you're using ones that have a "Selected" state such as a multiple choice, you can easily adjust the variable trigger based on the state of that object.
If you're willing to share a copy of your .story file here with folks in the Community - that's a great way to get more eyes on it and advice from the experts! 👀
Hi Ashley, It's about 174 MB, so a bit too large to add here.
It's a 50 question exam and includes the following types of questions: - multiple choice - true/false - pick one - drag and drop - choose from drop down menu and maybe another question type or two.
Enable the Correct feedback layer, and remove everything on the layer so it is completely blank and transparent. Set the layer timeline duration for .5 seconds. Then, add these triggers:
Adjust variable [AnatomyCorrect] +Add 1 when the timeline starts on the Correct layer.
Jump to slide [next slide] when the timeline ends on the correct layer.
Essentially, the learner will not know that a layer has appeared. They will only see that it takes .5 seconds to jump to the next slide after clicking the Submit button.
This solution would work for all question types. What do you think?
This sounds like a nice creative workaround. Would they still be able to navigate to previous questions to change their answers before submitting the entire exam if they desire?
Thanks Alyssa, Good to know. We'll have to evaluate if that might work for us then. Is there a simple Java script that can be copied and pasted in somewhere that might be able to do this?
Hi Jumping into this discussion. I am doing something similar. I created a number variable called 'score' and on each quiz slide when the user answers the question correctly added a trigger: Adjust variable 'score' add 1 when you clicks submit button on condition that radio button x is selected. On the result slide I set up correct/incorrect statements and inserted the reference
You answered %score%/10 correctly. Does anyone know how to handle a hotspot question?
This is giving me trouble since there is no radio button or shape I can see to select.
What we ended up doing is creating a results slide per each subject matter. Each results slide has its own set of variables and lets you click which questions are associated with that results slide. The variable are inserted on the main results slide as reference variables so we can show the individual subject matter breakdowns on the main results slide.
The main thing here is to make sure you have triggers to submit each individual results slide before the trigger that submits the main results slide. The main results slide creates a composite score using the results from each subject matter. Also, if you build in any overall exam reset, you will need triggers to reset all of the subject results slides before the trigger that resets the main results slide.
Hello Wendy, I'm new to this section, could you kindly show a demo of this function, I mean anyone can share it in case you have the demo of the same function. I need it urgently. Thank you in advance.
I am just trying to get a simple score to show x/5 without pass or fail result. I have set up variable 'score' and on the correct continue tab - add value 1 to Score when user clicks 'continue' - because there is no option for 'submit' and have added You Answered %score/5% on the results page. Can you spot what I am doing wrong please. Admit late on a Friday - was really hoping to get course out for review this evening!
Since this is specific to the setup of your course, it would be helpful to see the .story file. You can either attach it to this discussion for the community to take a look at or upload the file to our Support Engineers using this secure upload link.
Him, thanks for coming back - I have just put together a really quick version of the quiz I want to do with irrelevant questions - all I want to show on results slide is;
Hi, would this work for having 3 result slides? I have 3 separate quizzes in my course and have a result slide at the end of each. I created 3 different variables for each quiz and only the first one works. Any thoughts?

Hope that makes sense.
That did it! Thank you so much!
Glad you got it sorted Russell - good luck with your project!
Hi Wendy,
Is there a way to do this if there are drag and drop questions in use and there are no feedback slides being shown, just the results slide?
Thanks in advance!

Great question, Philip.
No, they wouldn't be able to go back and change their answers. This is because they are submitting their answers one-by-one using the Submit button.
Hopefully the community can share other ideas that'll work for you!
Thanks Alyssa,
Good to know. We'll have to evaluate if that might work for us then.

Thanks, Sian. I can see that you're working directly with Cleo.
Yes, thank you all sorted and the results page is now exactly what I wanted. Cleo is my eLearning heroine of the week!
