Quizzes drive me crazy!

I can create a Quiz Bank. I can select the questions I want. I can create a Results page just fine. What I cannot do, for the life of me, is create a pass the quiz, move to the next slide (if they fail the quiz, they have to retake the test. I've removed the Next button as that allows them an out of retaking the quiz).
Help. I just don't know what I am doing anymore. I thought I had it correct, try it out, and UGH!!!!

Are you wanting one button which will take them to the next slide to appear if the user passes the quiz and one button to appear prompting them to retake the quiz if they fail?
Yes, please!!!
On the results slide, there are layers. You would want to adjust the pass layer to have a button saying something like "Continue" and then the trigger on that button leading the user on to the next slide. One the Fail layer, you would want a button that says something like "Retry" and then that button would take them back to the beginning of the quiz.
Let me correct what I said. When you originally create the results slide, under options, it asks if you'd like to allow the user to retry the quiz. Select that tab, and then just copy and paste the retry button onto the failure layer. That way it resets the results slide when the user retakes the quiz, my bad!
Thank you so much for your answers Ashley. I am still not able to get to the next slide, and I am driving myself crazy. I wish that I had not just jumped into this without going through each and every tutorial - I was kinda tossed in and told to swim
So, now I am trying to peace-meal things together and go from there. I just don't know where to go right now. LOL
Anyone want to take a look at my slide to tell me what I am doing wrong?
I can't tell for sure, but it looks like you have all of the buttons on the base layer?
I am about ready to pull out my hair. I cannot figure out why I can't get the next button to work after the results slide. I have looked at another training I did the same exact way, where it works. I have all of the triggers the same. I don't know what I am doing wrong.
Hi Julie, from your description, I can't really tell where you are get stuck but I think it might be how you have set up your Player Trigger.
The PlayerTrigger says Jump to 2.4 Untitled slide when user clicks the next button if the pass points are equal 100. I think this should be Results.ScorePoints . (not Results.PassPoints) because right now this trigger is saying if the number of points a user needs to pass is 100, jump to slide 2.4 when the user clicks the next button so it does not matter what the user actually scores.
Also, unless you only want them to be able to jump to slide 2.4 if they get perfect on the quiz, you might want to change this to If Results.ScorePoints are greater than or equal to Results.PassPoints.
Hope this helps.
I could KISS you right now.
I know nothing about the player trigger portion, so I was guessing at it. Now I understand it a little more (because, you know, it is pretty dang obvious if you actually read the words).
Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!
You are welcome.
