Adding question counter in quiz bank in Storyline 360
Hello!
I'm working on a project where each learning module has a quiz that will pull from a Quiz Bank. I am looking to add a question counter so the learner knows where they are (i.e. Question x/10, etc). I know it's done through variables, but I'm drawing a blank on how to do it. I have a quiz "intro page" which is outside of the Quiz Bank. There are 9 learning modules in total and each has its own Quiz Bank with varying numbers of questions requires to pass.
Any and all help would be very welcome!
Cheers

Another problem I have encountered:
In Articulate Storyline 360, I have a graded quiz that pulls 10 questions from a question bank of 14, with a passing score of 85%. The learner has unlimited attempts and when they get to the quiz results page, if they did not pass in the first attempt, they can click the review button to display all the questions with correct and incorrect answers before they try again. The problem is that halfway through the review, the next and previous button randomly disappears, so they are stuck and can't progress. What settings do I need to check to fix this? Or what new triggers do I need to put in place to correct the problem? Please specify slide or object or layer triggers. Any help on this would be much appreciated!
Hi AdrianaRoss1,
Thanks for following up with these questions.
For the question counter, one thing to keep in mind is that if learners can leave the quiz before completing it, a custom counter may continue incrementing when they return, depending on how it's set up. If you need the counter to always reflect the learner's current progress, you may need to revisit the overall design of the custom counter or consider limiting navigation while the quiz is in progress.
Regarding the Next and Previous buttons disappearing during Review mode, that isn't expected behavior. If you're willing, please share your Storyline file in a support case , along with the steps to reproduce the issue. We'd be happy to take a closer look and investigate what's causing the behavior.
Thanks Eric. Sorry for the late reply, but I just go back from a long holiday. As you suggested, I have submitted the case today with details. Fingers crossed!
Hi Geraldine,
I see that Louise already shared an excellent solution! I'm happy to chime in and suggest a trigger that will help you reset the questioncount variable when the learner fails and wants to retry the quiz.
In the Failure layer of your Result slide, you can add the trigger shown in the screenshot below. Make sure to move it on top of the Jump to Slide trigger so that it will be executed before the jump.
If you need additional help, we'd be happy to take a look at your Storyline project. You can share it here or privately through a support case. We'll delete it when we're done!
I have used the settings as above, however, if the learner decides to navigate to another page using the menu on the left, BEFORE they have finished the quiz, then the question count continue counting slides and by the time they resume and finish the quiz, the count displays more than it should - ie. 14/10. What can I do to prevent this odd counting? Or is there a way to restrict menu navigation during a quiz ( not ideal). Thanks!
Hi Louise
Thanks so much for the information - it worked! Now my question is, how to I re-set the counter back to 0/8 if the learner fails the quiz and they have to retake it?

GeraldineCreate a numeric variable, eg questioncount. Then, on your question slide master display "Question questioncount/10. Also on the master slide have a trigger that adds 1 to questioncount when the timeline starts.
What if one is using a few different question slide masters?
