Want three re-takes in a Quiz

Jun 09, 2014

Hi All,

My client wants a Quiz with three attempts and he doesn't want any feedback for single questions so the user has to keep attempting without being aware of the result.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Hi Ashi,

Here's a really bare-bones example, simply to show you what it looks like with the variables and buttons in place.

I moved the Retry button to the failure layer. I also added a shape to cover the score until 3rd attempt, since I wasn't sure if that's what you wanted, when you said, "the user has to keep attempting without being aware of the result."

The retry variable is set to a default of one.

Triggers on the failure layer do this:

Layer Triggers

Change the state of the Retry button to hidden when the timeline starts if Retry = 3

Change the state of the Rectangle shape to hidden when the timeline starts if Retry = 3

Change the state of the Review button to hidden when the timeline starts if Retry is less than 3

Change the state of the Review button to normal when the timeline starts if Retry = 3f

Button Triggers

Add 1 to Retry when the user clicks the Retry button (Note: That trigger is first in the list of Button triggers).

Please shout out with any questions.

Hi Rebecca,

My client wants an option where the user can skip the question if he wants and attempt them later. I have added skip button but skipping the question is counted as incorrect in the result.

The user should skip the question if he wants and after he is done with all the questions, a prompt should show up asking him to complete the quiz and attempt the skipped ones.

Is it doable?

I have send you personal message stating same and I am attaching the file too.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Hi Ashi,

Ashley beat me to it. I was just throwing together a quick example, and I was going to refer you to these same pages.

In my example, instead of swapping out the Submit button for a next button, I changed the default Submit button trigger.

Default trigger: Submit interaction when the user clicks Submit.

Edited trigger: Jump to the next slide when the user clicks Submit.

Both ways work..it's a matter of personal preference.
