Hi, Sara,

You can use variables and trigger conditions to determine the path(s) the user has to take if they fail the pre-test. For example, here's one way to do it if there are multiple questions per objective: 

• Create a number variable for each objective/module, with a default value of 0. 
• On each question related to a given objective, add a trigger that adds 1 to the corresponding variable if the user has selected the correct response(s). 
  • If you're providing immediate feedback, this trigger could go on the Correct layer.
  • If you're not providing immediate feedback, attach this trigger to the Submit button. However, be sure this trigger comes before the trigger that submits the question. 
• The values of the variables will indicate which objectives the user did and didn't pass.
  • For example, suppose  there are 3 questions for each objective.
    • If the value of the variable = 3, the user answered all of the related questions correctly.
    • If the value of the corresponding variable <3, that means the user needs to go through the content for that variable. 
• Use triggers with conditions to show/hide the buttons that take the user to the required paths. (Or show the buttons for all the paths, but indicate which ones are required.) 

Note: If you only have 1 question per objective, you could use a T/F variable, and set it to True if the user answers the questions correctly.

By the way, you don't need a lot of triggers to implement a pre-test. Here's more info about that:
