Retry Quiz - 3 Times

Mar 15, 2018

Hi!

In my course, I have the option that allows the user to retry the quiz.

But, I need that he can do this only 3 times. Is it possible?

Can I block retry after his third try?

Thanks!!

Sure Isabella

you could use a number variable that counts each time they click the 'Retry' button and then use a trigger to show the fail layer when the number variable reaches 3.

  1. Create a number variable e.g. quizAttempts with a default value of 1 (I do this because the first time they go through the quiz is their first attempt)
  2. Add a trigger to the Retry Quiz button : Adjust variable quizAttempts add + 1 when user clicks the Retry Quiz button. (Make sure this trigger is above the jump to quiz slide)
  3. Add another trigger to the Result slide: Show fail layer when timeline starts on Result slide on condition that Results Score Points < Results Pass Points AND quizAttempts = 3.

Hope that helps

Hey, Wendy, I followed these steps exactly for a different project but noticed my Failure layer didn't show up at all. And I guess that's because the logic I quoted above in step 3 says =3.

To get the Failure layer to show up should it be <=3? That way, if the learner fails on attempt 1 and attempt 2, they still get the Failure layer.
