Good day! I'm trying to create feedback on a multiple response question that states "you have X of X correct" once they click on Submit. There are 3 attempts for each question as well.
FYI: There are a total of 6 responses that the individual can select.
Is this possible and if so, can anyone direct me on how to program (or trigger) this (please!)?
You could create a number variable to track how many correct items are selected. For tracking, you'd add a trigger to the Submit button that adds 1 to the variable with the condition that the first correct checkbox is selected. Add additional "add 1" triggers with conditions for the other correct checkboxes being selected. Then reference that variable (e.g., "You have %variableName% of # correct") on the Try Again layer. The variable reference will update each time the user reaches that layer.
However, you have to consider how a user might interpret that feedback. For example, how does the number take into account wrong answers that are selected? So you might want to consider having variables to count the correct and incorrect selections, and then give both of those numbers to the user.
Another option is to show different feedback text based on their choices. Of course, that gets a little trickier, because you'd have to use different states for the feedback text box or show different textboxes based on what was selected. FYI: This post explains how to provide different feedback for different attempts, so it might be helpful:
Judy, thank you for the suggestions and how-tos. I'm trying to steer the SME away from this approach as it's problematic at best. But at least I have a starting point thanks to you!

Hi, Sharon,

The other option is to just provide generic feedback that guides the user to the right answer by repeating or summarizing previous content.
Good luck with whatever you decide to do.
