How do I reset the questions for subsequent attempts to pass test
I've created a question bank to test knowledge at the end of the learning. If a learner fails their first attempt how do I reset the questions they are asked on their subsequent attempts?
I have put a trigger in place to take them from the (failed) results page back to the question bank (set to random questions) but it takes them back to the original questions with their previously selected answers displayed.
Thanks
Lucy

Hi Lucy
You need to make sure you have 'Reset to initial state' selected in the When revisiting option in Slide Properties.
This will present the question again without your previous answer being selected.

Hi Helen
Tried your solution but it didn't seem to work. Then I found the Result slide properties which allows you to set the user to retry quiz, after ticking this box it all seems to be working.
It may be a combination of the 2 that makes it work?
Thanks for your help

I had the same problem. You are completely correct, the two settings together provide the result you require.

Hi,, i have the same issue but in HTMl5 only. I've got a button with "reset results" to retry the quizz and it works fine until i use a data bank (with random questions), no matter where i place the "reset results slide" it does not work...
That works when i'm not using a question bank
By placing the "reset state" in every slide, you can retry the test but you can't review the answer, they appear with the tick but not with the blue dot and you cannot advance cause you have to answer wich is imposible

Hello,
I have the same problem you described here.
I have a question bank with 18 questions, and the test selects 10 randomly.
When I click the "Retry quiz" button, the questions that appeared in the first time have already the answer.
I changed the property "when revisiting" to "Reset to initial state" for each of 18 slides, but when I click the "Review quiz" button, it considers all the answers wrong.
Can someone help me?
Hi Ana,
Are you able to share the .story file here with us to take a look? If you'd prefer to not post in the forums, you can also send to me here.

Hi,
How to reset question bank in articulate using next button
Hi Apurva,
Could you share a bit more about how you've set up your course? If you're looking to reset the questions you could use the slide property of "reset to initial state" for each question slide so that on a revisit they could take it again.
Also, if your users visit the results slide you can add in a "retry" button - the triggers on that will automatically reset the slide.

Hi Ashley,
We're getting a similar issue. We have a test bank but the business unit wanted all the questions so there's no random - just the same 23 questions. Anyway, we have "Set to Initial State" selected, We have "Allow to retake quiz" selected in the Results slide, and when the person fails and selects the Try Again button, it works. However, if they select previous to review any content in the course before trying the test again, it sets the questions to the initial state but won't allow submission of the questions, effectively negating a retry. Any ideas?
Thanks!

Hi Deborah
try setting the quiz slide properties to 'automatically decide' instead of 'reset to initial'
- DeborahCassidyCommunity Member
Hi Wendy - no, that's how it was set initially and that left them all with the answers and you couldn't change or submit. We changed to "reset to initial" and now they clear if you go to review the course but you can't submit. Both ways, it will allow the retry from the try button. Neither way will allow retaking the test if you want to review the course content at all using the previous button.
