Using variables to display quiz attempts left

Dec 18, 2018

I have a graded quiz which allows 5 attempts and user must retake complete quiz.  I did the following:

  • added a variable named "timesattempted"
  • added trigger to question #1. "add 1.00 timesattempted when user clicks the submit button."
  •  added layers to the results slide.  ex. show layer "attempt 3" when timesattempted changes if timesattempted is equal to 3.00

 

I can't seem to get the layer to appear.  Event though the variable is calculating correctly according to the variable log  (below)

Ideas?

Hey Kelley,

At first glance, without taking a look at your course, try to adjust your trigger on the Results Slide to:

Show layer "attempt 3" when Timeline Starts on Result Slide if timesattempted is equal to 3.00
