Quiz Results Variables
Jul 12, 2018
I have several mini-quizzes within my tutorial, and I want students to pass each one to proceed. At the end, a final Results slide will add up the individual Results slides for a course total grade.
When I add a Results slide, it creates 5 variables:
Results.PassPercent (number) - I set this number when I create the slide
Results.PassPoints (number)
Results.Passed (True/False)
Results.ScorePercent (number)
Results.ScorePoints (number)
I see that the PassPercent is set by me when I create the slide, and I can edit that number later. How are the others set/adjusted? I want a pass to be points (7/8) rather than a percentage.
If I change the names of these variables to something more meaningful to me (by clicking on the variable name and changing it), does it still work OK? Is there anything I need to be careful of? It seems like I need to remove the dot (.) when I rename because it won't accept it, but it does accept an underscore. It would be great if I was asked to name these variables when I create the slide, saving me the work of changing all 5.

Hi Jean,
All those variables are automatically created and named when you add in a results slide. It's important to keep the naming as is so that the data can be reported and transferred to your LMS. You'll note that the variables display on your results slide, but you're always welcome to move them off the slide so that they're no longer visible to your learners.
The Score.Points is based on the number of quiz questions and the points awarded to each question. You can see this on each question in the Form View. So Score.Points and Score.Percent are what the learner achieved, and Pass.Points and Pass.Percent are based on what you set as the results slide option.
If you're looking to change them, perhaps you can shed some light on the end goal and folks here in the community can offer alternative ideas or next steps!
Hi Ashley,
I have a follow-up question on a variation of this problem. I am trying to gamify my course by tracking both user interaction and mastery. For interaction, I'm using a number variable and adjusting that number by number of points when user clicks certain tabs on slides to search for more info, etc.
For mastery, I will like to categorize my individual quiz questions into Recall, Application and Evaluation for reporting and show the total score for each category as a transcript of some sort. This is where I am stuck. Can't figure out how to do this, especially because the question review is at the end of quiz and not question by question as the user progresses.
Glad if you can point me in the right direction to get this done.
Thanks
That sounds like a lot of variables will be needed Ivy :)
I just responded to another of your questions here, so seeing both of these conversations makes me think tracking by reaching a certain slide may work best for you.
Prior to that, you can control the 'navigation' that the user takes through the course to be sure that they master items needed.
If you have a sample course, I'm sure the community will be able to pop in and share some ideas for your design as well.
Very suddenly, Storyline is *not* automatically creating these variables. What's more, it won't allow me to create them, because periods are not allowed in variables. Is this a recent change? I notice also the player is suddenly "modern" style, although you can change it to classic. In any case, my Results slide doesn't work, and I can't figure out how to fix it.
I fixed it. So this is a weird issue.
Slides > Results creates a functioning results slide.
Home > New Slide > Results does not.
Hello Mary and welcome to E-Learning Heroes :)
Thanks for reaching out and letting us know what you are seeing.
We did introduce a new Modern Player to Storyline 360 in Update 16 back on May 22nd.
I tested both scenarios of adding a result slide as you shared above and got expected results, meaning results slides with appropriate variables.
Aaand the new one I created works just fine. The one I was working on, I actually added the first results slide a few days ago. Is it possible something has changed since then? In any case, the new one works as predicted. Weird.
Glad that it's working as intended now Mary.
No recent updates. All of our version history can be found in the link I shared above.
It is odd, but at least it's in your favor this time :)
