SCORM Player: Tracking

I have setup variables in my eLearning course so that the assessment section does not unlock until the user has gone through every section in the course. When testing the final course, I exited at the halfway point to see if the tracking did actually work. This worked fine.

I opened up the course again and went through the remaining sections which then opened up the assessment section. At this point I closed the course (to test the tracking again). When opening the course up, the course opened up at the point where I had closed at the earlier point, therefore the assessment was not locked.

Please could someone advise on why this is happening? I am testing the course using Reload Scorm 1.2 Player. This is not a linear course

Thanks
