Reset number of attempts
Dec 30, 2023
Hi everyone. Thanks in advance for your time and any help you provide!
I have a story file with multiple lessons. There are 1 to five questions at the end of each lesson (some pick one, some pick many, and some drag-and-drop). The direction from the client is, give then two tries and then send them to the beginning of the lesson. At the end of the lesson, they'll get two more chances at each question ad infinitum.
Setting the number of attempts to 2 doesn't work because the counter says they've already tried twice. Is there a way to reset the number of attempts when they re-visit the slide?
I thought about making each set of question(s) at the end of each lesson a separate quiz and then reset each quiz via trigger, but I'm not sure how to go about that. And also I'll need to total the score for all questions at the end of the course. Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated!

If you set the question slides to reset to initial state and point the incorrect to jump to the beginning of the lesson that will work. That will break a quiz review if you have built on in
Thanks Phil!
I appreciate the help!
I think I tried that, and it didn't seem to work. I set the number of attempts to 2 and then sent them to the beginning of the lesson on the incorrect slide (which appears after the second incorrect attempt). The client says that when they get back to the question, regardless of the reset to initial state, SL won't allow another attempt at the question. I'll give it another go and see what happens.
I don't have a review built in, but I'm pretty new to this and don't know how to do that either. Maybe that's the easier answer.
: )
In the meantime, I thought of another work around. I'm setting the question to unlimited attempts. and creating a variable called Q1Attemps and adding 1 each time the question is submitted. Try again layer jumps back to slide. Trigger at the beginning of question slide sends them to lesson slide 1 in Q1Attempts equals 2. Then reset the variable to zero on the lesson slide 1. I'll have to figure figure out how to skip the questions they've already seen.
What do you think? Am I going to run into problems?
Hi Phil,
I just tried your suggestion. Here's what happens:
I answer incorrectly twice, sent back to lesson beginning.
When I get back to the question, I only get one chance to answer, not two as you might expect.
Any ideas?
