I have been working on a course and although I believe in the philosophy of letting students choose their own direction within a course, I would like to make sure that they at least visit each of the five sections before being able to access the test. Right now, I have it designed so that they must click on each section box, once all boxes have been visited the link to the test appears. I don't love this as I can't include a comprehensive menu and I find the layer to start test always appear quickly before launching the last section.
Create a trigger in each section that adjusts the corresponding variable to "true". You could set the trigger to change the variable when the user clicks the corresponding section, or finishes it. Make sure you have the triggers in the right order so you don't jump to the new slide before the variable is switched.
Then..
Create a trigger on the "start test" button that displays a pop up that says "Sorry, you must complete Section 1 and 2 before proceding". Make sure this trigger is set to only activate if the variable 1 or 2 are false.
Create another trigger that jumps to your assessment slide, only if variable 1 and variable 2 are set to True.
Hope this helps. Feel free to ask any questions if you need clarification. There may be a more elegant way, but I like using variables more than setting initial states.

Here is an option.
Create two variables with a default assignment as "false" :
Variable 1 = Section_one_complete
Variable 2 = Section_two_complete

Thank you! I haven't worked very much with variables so it took me a while
to think through your suggestions but I have finally figured it out.
