Best Way to Create Multi-Part Spelling Quiz in Storyline 360 with Custom Scoring

Hi Heroes,

I'm working on a spelling quiz in Storyline 360 and need some advice on the best approach. Here's what I'm trying to build:

Quiz:

Scoring Requirement:

  • Learners need to get 3 out of 4 OR 4 out of 4 correct to receive 1 point total
  • If they get 2 or fewer correct, they receive 0 points
  • This counts as a single question worth 1 point in the overall course

My Challenge: I've considered using drop-down menus for each option, but I'm struggling with:

  1. Whether drop-downs are the most efficient approach
  2. How to set up the scoring logic to award 1 point only if they achieve 3-4 correct
  3. How to track all 4 sub-questions and evaluate them together

Questions:

  • What's the best question type or combination to use for this scenario?
  • How do I set up variables to track the 3/4 passing threshold?
  • Is there a simpler built-in solution?

Any guidance or examples would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

    If you want to closely replicate the setup from your screenshot, then I think using a Pick-One Freeform question type is your best bet. See attached a quick example. Based on the number of correct choices for the 4 questions,  off-screen Correct/Incorrect buttons are selected and then the choice is submitted for scoring. Have a look and see if that helps you along.

      Thank you Michael so much for the example. If no feedback is needed, could I delete the 2 correct/incorrect layers? Would this affect the scoring? And how do I ensure the scoring is correct when all 4 correct answer was selected? To be specific, which trigger was set up to achieve the scoring please? Thanks again for your time and advice.

        To turn off the feedback layers, you can select the None option in Form View.

        In the second screenshot, I highlighted the triggers that calculate the score and then sets the offscreen Correct button to selected when the score is >=3.
