I am trying to replicate a sequencing question from a paper test. Each part of the sequence counted as one point for a total of ten points.
If the sequence was 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 and the learner answered 2, 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, the learner would miss 2 points and earn 8 points.
I can create the drag/drop sequence but can only make it all right or all wrong. This way, if the sequence was 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 and the learner answered 2, 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, the learner would miss 10 points and earn 0 points.
Is this possible? If so, how? If not, any suggestions?
I was able to get something to work. Sort of. The sequence and multiple selection questions are all-or-nothing. You either get it all right or it is all wrong.
I created a basic drag and drop and then created separate Incorrect layers that display depending upon how may items are dropped in the correct sequence. A point value is created for each layer depending upon the number correct (1 correct =2 pts, 2 correct = 4 pts, etc.)
I had to do some work-arounds with hidden questions that answer themselves when the timeline starts. Each is its own scene to avoid clutter. There are hidden questions for each correctly placed item (1 correct, 2 correct, and so on). The hidden questions move to the results page, hopefully without the learner seeing them.
The Results page had to be customized a bit so that the correct results display. I had to create a custom variable to determine the learner's score and a text box to show the 100% Passing grade.
Because each hidden question is included in the results page, I had to modify the Success percentage down to 33%.
While it "works", it won't work well if there are other questions you want to include in a final exam. It works better as a reinforcement exercise.
If it is part of a larger test, consider breaking the 20 steps in several smaller questions, for example a "Pick One". Show the first couple of steps and then ask what comes next and provide the learner with some options.

Nonetheless, the file is attached.
Hi Tech Writer! It looks like Garth has a super helpful solution. I also saw a similar thread a while back. I think the steps still work.
Also, if you want to make this an activity, this free template is a great alternative. Hope that helps!
