Assessment not working as intended
Thanks to this community for helping with this project. My client is looking for something specific: Passing score is 80% and learners have two attempts to take the assessment. I have set variables to count the attempts but when the learner does not pass the first attempt, the 'Review' option shows them both correct and incorrect answers (even when ' Review only incorrect questions' is selected). Additionally, review is counting as an attempt, so after the review, the 'Failed Twice' layer appears and the course ends. I've attached the Question Bank and Results Layout, along with correct quiz answers below. I'm getting ready to just omit the review option out of frustration, but ultimately I want to learn how to solve this dilemma.
- PPE is optional-False
- Highest level of germ control is Sterilize
- Disinfectants are effective if allowed the recommended dwell time
- SS polishes maintain surfaces by removing dirt/grease while adding a protective layer
- Mixing chemicals is dangerous bc it creates harmful fumes or reactions
- The J-Fill Quattro accurately dispenses chemical solutions safely
- Custodians should always wash hands after handling cleaning chemicals
- Hot spot question is the spray bottle by the floor drain
- All true EXCEPT "you should bring cleaning supplies from home to use at work"
- Water is 7 on pH scale

A quick thought (OK, only one cup of coffee so far) - instead of giving an option to review the entire quiz, why not set the questions up so that you have the learners immediately review the incorrect answers?
Here's what we did - Would this approach work for you?
This is one slide out of a question bank. The course deals with working safely (outdoors) in extreme heat (I'm in Arizona).
You can see the correct answers (checks), and the three layers: Correct, Incorrect, and Explanation.
When the learner gets the question wrong, this is the "Incorrect" layer:
And here is the Explanation layer:
Essentially, we copy and paste the relevant slide content that specifically addresses the objective/question that is measured here.
So like your learners, ours have to pass with an 80% score, and they get two tries on the quiz before having to repeat the entire course. We have seen a noticeable drop in the number of learners who do not pass even after two attempts, and the LMS team has far fewer complaints about "having to take this class again."
What do you think?
The Review did show me only incorrect questions. Not sure why that isn't working for you.
Re: attempts. There's a trigger adding to the Attempts variable when the timeline of the slide starts. So that's why a Review counts as an attempt.
To fix that problem, do this:
- Give the Attempts variable a default value of 1. That represents the first attempt.
- Make the trigger that adds 1 to Attempts run when the user clicks the Retry button. Be sure to move that trigger so it appears before the one that jumps to the draw.
Also, the trigger to show the FailedTwice layer has one condition: if Attempts = 2. But with that, the program would show that layer even if the user passed the quiz on the 2nd attempt. Thus, it needs a condition so that layer only shows if the user fails on the 2nd attempt.
