"Previous" Trigger Adds unwanted count to slide progression
Jan 16, 2014
I have a trigger on my slides in my quizzes that show the user's progress (which question they're on out of the total). i.e. 2/50 or 36/50. I want to allow the user to go back and change answers before they submit the entire exam. However, with the triggers I have now ("Question%QuestNo%/50") every time a user clicks the "Prev" button to go back to the previous question and then clicks the "Next" button, the count adds one, again.
So, for instance, I'm on slide/question 24 of 50. I don't think I answered question 23 correctly, so I click "Prev" to go back, which adds "1" to the count. So although I'm reviewing the 23rd question, my slide count says "Question 24/50. I select my answer on slide 23 and click "Next". Although I'm on the exact same questions as I was on before clicking "Prev", my slide count now says I'm on question 26/50, which is not true. It's still only the 24th question out of 50 total questions. The very last question of the exam now says 52/50.
How do I allow a use to view the previous question(s) and continue without adding "1" to the count each time and the count getting skewed?

Is there any way to respond to this post ASAP? We're working on a project that's on a time deadline.
Instead of having a trigger that ADDS '1' to the Question counter variable, I would simply use a trigger that ASSIGNS the value. See the screenshot below that shows the trigger for slide#1. This may be a bit more work initially, but this way you don't have to worry about the variable increasing every time you navigate back and forth between slides.
Okay; however, we are drawing questions randomly from a question bank, so I do not think that assigning a specific number to each question will work. I just tried it and the test was at question 13 and then reset to question 1 when the first question in the question bank appeared in the test. So the counting started over. Question 15 said "Question 2/50"
