Retry only incorrect answers
Aug 03, 2016
Hi all,
I'm trying to figure out a way to allow my users to re-answer only the answers they got incorrect when they hit the "retry" button. I found a discussion from 4 years ago that led me to this video explanation of some fancy trigger work. This video was created with Storyline 1. I'm in Storyline 2 and wondering if this feature has been added/updated in the new version. I tried to follow the video pathways, but my quiz set up is different as well:
- Learners only have 1 attempt at each question
- No review quiz option
So I'm not sure if this version will still work. Does anyone out there have any ideas? I've attached an example quiz.
Thanks in advance!

Hi Jackie,
It's not a feature yet - but that same type of set up should still work for you. That's the one we still regularly point too. :)
Thanks, Ashley.
Is there additional information out there about setting triggers for quiz questions that aren't true/false or multiple choice? I'm having trouble getting my quiz to follow the behavior, and I suspect it is because I have some matching, drag n drop, and multiple selection questions. I also don't allow learners to review the quiz, and they have unlimited attempts at retrying the quiz. Any ideas for getting this behavior to work with different settings?
Thanks,
Jackie
Hi Jackie,
I don't see any of the triggers applied to your project above, but you should be able to do something similar using variables associated with the questions that they answered correctly/incorrectly. You may want to share an updated copy of your file so that folks could look at ideas based on your existing set up.
Hi Ashley,
I'm attaching a shortened version of that piece here with triggers. You'll notice that I didn't make variables for number of tries (unlimited) or review mode (no review) because I don't want that behavior.
Hi Jaclyn,
Thanks for sharing. I tested this, and I was able to bypass the drag and drop slide based on those triggers you set up - what element wasn't working for you?
Thanks for checking it out Ashley. I'm having trouble with the multiple selection question. If I get it right the first time, it still takes me back to that question. The correct answer will be selected, but I still have to click submit again.
Ah, thanks Jaclyn - I wasn't sure which slide so I tested with the first one only! I'll take a deeper look at it.
Thank you, Ashley. I appreciate your help. Have you had a chance to look into the matter?
Hi Jaclyn! First of all, I wanted to let you know that replying to the forums via e-mail attaches your signature. You are welcome to pop in and edit if needed.
I took a look at your file and I assume you are asking about Slide 1.6.
On your 'Correct' layer, you have two triggers on the Continue button - one to close the layer and one to go to the next slide.
The close layer one is triggering and the next slide one doesn't get a chance. That's why you end up on the base slide layer again.
I would delete the trigger to close the layer and just jump right to the next slide. Hope that helps!
Hi Leslie. Thanks for letting me know about my signature!
I was able to find the root cause of one problem, but now the results slide doesn't appear to be updating properly, so I can't pass even if I get all of the questions right. Can you take a look at my latest version (attached)?
Thanks in advance!
Hi Jaclyn! I do not see an issue with your results slide:
Could you tell me what you are seeing?
Hi Leslie,
Thanks for taking a look. I've made a screencast to help me explain the situation better. I hope this helps!
Hi Jaclyn! Thank you for the detailed video! That was certainly helpful :)
So, the score does not look like it's updating because you are resetting the total results slide, skipping some questions, and still essentially getting only one right.
Those questions you are skipping on the subsequent attempts are being marked incorrect.
The reason it 'cycles' back to the results slide at the end is because you've told the project to skip those slides. So, the variables know that the correct answer has been given, but that is not reflected in the score.
Also - you mentioned you didn't know why your passing score showed the 40 points because you have 5 questions, but it is only displaying points needed to pass vs total points available.
So - all that being said - by default, the retry quiz button is designed to reset the results and allow the user to re-take the entire quiz. Looks like you are hoping for something more custom.
Hopefully someone in the community will be able to pop in and assist with this design.
Jeanette offers a possible solution here if you'd like to check it out.
Hi Leslie,
The solution from Jeanette is actually how I got this far along with the triggers. I don't understand why the retry button worked as expected for her piece, but it won't for mine. I followed all of the same steps. The only differences are that I don't have a review option and I have unlimited chances to retry the quiz. I can't see how those would affect the results slide. I'll take a look at her piece again, but I hope someone else has some insight!
Thanks,
Jackie
Hi Ashley,
Where can I find the link to this question? Thanks
Hi Erica,
If you are looking for the link to the video that was shared, it looks like that link is no longer valid.
I do think we may still have some resources that may help you out with this design question out. Check out this thread with a similar question and some ideas :)
