Retry Quiz adds points from all tries to total quiz results

Mar 24, 2015

Hi,

I have a storyline (2) course where there are 4 scenes, three of which have a quiz at the end of them. I am allowing the learner to retry any of the quizzes, which they retry at the end of the scene. When they complete the 3 scenes with the quizzes, they return to the first scene and view the results of all 3 quizzes.

Here is the issue: the learner could potentially score greater than 100% because storyline is not clearing the score variable of the quiz being retried. See attached screen grab of the points scored for the first quiz that was retried once and the result variable that added both scores together.

Attached is the final results slide that adds all three quizzes providing the final score. Notice that the score is greater than 100% (because I retried the first quiz).

Am I missing something or not setting something correctly? I tried to reset the system variable (Results4.ScorePoints) to subtract the previous quiz score (that I am retrying) but SL will not let me adjust system variables.

Thanks,

Jay

I have the same problem as Jay.  

I have two quizzes.  4 questions and 6 questions - each worth 10 points.  100 total possible points.  User must score 80% on each quiz to move ahead.  

If I score 1 of 4 on the first quiz, I have to retake it.  I do retake it and score 4 of 4.  If I score 2 of 6 on the second quiz, I have to retake it.  I do retake it and score 6 of 6.  The results should be 40+60=100 points (100%).  Instead, the results include the FIRST attempts at both quizzes and shows a results slide of 130 points (130%) 10+40+20+60=130.

I display the results from quiz one on a results slide at the end of quiz one.  I display the results from quiz two on another results slide at the end of quiz two.  I use the "calculate results from the selected questions" function.  ---Both quizzes display the results correctly - the initial results are NOT added to the final points if the user is forced to take the quiz again.  In other words, the points on each of the two individual quiz results slide are "clearing."

I then have a final results slide which adds the results of all 10 questions (both quizzes) by "calculating results from selected questions."  That is the slide which retains the initial points scored and adds them to the final points results.

I have added the Reset results as the first trigger to the "Retry Quiz" on BOTH of the quizzes - however it continues to "hold onto" the correct answers from the initial attempt when displaying the final results slide.

I can't seem to find an answer.
