TIP: Review and Retry Non-Adjacent Quiz Questions Without Seeing the Content Slides In Between
Suppose you have a course with graded-question slides separated by content slides. And you have one Results slide at the end that combines the scores from all of the question slides.
The Review Quiz and the Retry Quiz buttons will take the user back to the first question. But you discover that the user will then need to step through the content slides in-between the question slides. Aaaccckkk!
So is it possible to ensure that the user only steps through the question slides when reviewing or retrying a quiz, even though some questions aren't adjacent?
I've seen variations of that question multiple times in the Forum. The answer is demonstrated and explained in the attached Storyline file.

My own preference: Include knowledge-check questions at the end of each topic, but without a Results slide.
Then repeat all the questions (with scrambled answers) in a final quiz with a Results slide at the end of the course.
Not only is that easier to program, it also provides a bit of spaced practice.
Hi Judy - if doing it the way you described above, the Learner would be answering the questions twice. Is that correct? Or an I missing something?
Sylvia,
For the instructions in the initial post:
- The learner would re-answer the questions if they start with the Retry Quiz button/trigger.
- The learner would just review the already-answered question if they start with the Review Quiz button/trigger.
- Those are built-in functions. The point of the instructions in the post is to be able to skip any content slides that are in-between the question slides.
For my preferred quizzing method (in the first comment): Yes, the learner answers each question twice:
- Unscored Knowledge Check presented close to the content slides
- Scored Final Quiz at the end of the course
Brilliant thank you I'll give it a try.
Brilliant I'll give both a try and see which one suits the SME.
These instructions worked perfectly for me today. Thank you Judy for taking the time to put them together.
So glad to hear that Judy's Tip helped you out today, Julie! 🎉
Thanks for sharing your wisdom with the ELH community, Judy! 👏
Got it and thank you. I tried it once and got all mixed up. I see the Demo Storyline now and will try it out again. :)
Hello, I'm searching for a solution to this problem and I found this response from 5 years ago. I want to know if there are any new features that make this work more easily.
I noticed that this original post predated the ability to include an "Else" statement in a trigger. Those make programming so much easier. So I updated the demo file and added instructions to it. I also added the link to see the file in Review 360.
It seems like "Set Skipping to value True" is no longer an option.
I will use the 'spaced practice' of duplicating the mid-training question in the graded knowledge check. Thank you.
It should always be possible to add a trigger that sets the value of an existing variable.
- A Text variable can be set to any string of characters.
- A T/F variable can be set to either True or False.
- A Numeric variable can be set to any number.
For example, here's the Trigger Wizard for setting a T/F variable called "skipping" to True when the timeline of the slide starts:
