I have set up the "Retry Quiz" button where learners only need to retake the questions they previously answered incorrectly. When doing this, the results score is showing as incorrect. Am I supposed to have a different trigger or set up for the Results slide when allowing learners to retake the previously incorrect answered questions?
when you have the retry quiz button with the reset results trigger - you are effectively wiping the result on the first attempt and setting it back to 0. On second attempt the user is only answering those questions they got incorrect on first round, they are not attempting all questions so the result on second attempt is not the full picture.
Some of the javascript heroes might be able to assist here where you can pull the first attempt score and then the second attempt score and add them together...unfortunately that's out of my area of expertise.
It is possible but it's a bit of work. Essentially what you need to do is create a variable for each slide that is adjusted if they answer it correctly - and that way when they "revisit" it during the retry you would have a trigger on the slide to automatically change the state of the correct answer to selected if the variable was equal to True and jump to the next slide, all at the start of the timeline. There are a few examples in the community - let me do a little search and see what I can find for you!
I have done that, but it was still not calculating the results correctly and won't let me arrive to the success layer of the results slide once all of the questions are answered correctly.
that worked! Thank you so much, Ashley. However, now i am seeing flashing of the "Correct" layer when retrying the quiz. I was able to workaround this with delayed animations on the question slide before, but now it's flashing the correct layer when passing by the correctly answered questions. Any recommendations or advice to get around this?
I saw the same flash, and didn't dig into it too deeply. You could look at hiding items on those layers based on the same variable - but I'd wonder if the delayed animations would work for the same set up on the layers.
Hi Ashley - I was able to hide the "Correct" later, but I not sure how i am able to hide the flashing slides from the base layer... any suggestions here?
The triggers were all set to when timeline starts, so a bit of a flash could occur...but you could also look at adding triggers to adjust all the items on that slide to hidden based on being correct - that way the flash wouldn't show the actual slide but almost a blank slide. Hopefully someone in the community whose used a similar method can share their steps on how to resolve this design here!
same issue is happening with me. on second try, score is not adding for the questions that were correctly attempted on first try. Issue is coming only on HTML version, flash output works fine.
Were you using the same method as Marisa described here, if so were you able to test the file of her course that I updated? If you're still running into issues we'd be happy to have our Support Engineers take a look at your file and you can upload it here.
Hey Pankaj - Were you able to upload the file as Ashley shared above so that we could take a look? If so, please share the support case number with me here so that I can take a peek. I was not able to locate one via your name.

hmmm... i have seen that others have used this function. There must be some sort of workaround where the results can still calculate correctly....

Hi Marisa,
Here is one example, that although a bit older, you'll see the concept!

Thanks for sharing your file Marisa - I'm going to take a look at it!
Ok Marisa - a few changes on this one to get it to work.
First, I stripped it down to two questions, your start slide and results slide for ease of testing. I only made changes to question 2.
What you'll see was missing is a few things:
Take a look at the attached and let me know if you have any questions.

I have already checked that file it is having same issue with HTML version.
