How to Number Quiz Questions Randomly Generated from a Quiz Bank
Yesterday, I met Tom K. and other super nice members of Articulate at the Learning Solutions Conf in Orlando. The page number features is still not in place for SL2. As many others have done, here's yet another workaround for adding page numbers to a Quiz that is randomly generated.
This is in SL2 and it's simpler than it appears when written out : )
In a nutshell, we are creating a variable to increment once the Submit button is clicked. This eliminates having to add and then subtract when a learner reviews the course. It also allows for one to retake the exam and starts the numbering all over again. This variable is then assigned to the page number placeholder variables, but only if they meet two conditions.
If you try this and anything breaks or I missed documenting a step, let me know. Will respond when time permits. Good luck!

Hi Lindsey.
There is an easier way to do quiz page numbering that will resolve your submit button issue, using the built-in slide number variables.
Create a new scene that only contains the draw from your quiz bank and use the built-in variable, Scene.SlideNumber. It will automatically number your randomly selected questions in order. You can also add the total number of questions. For example, your variable reference on each slide would be: Question %SceneSlideNumber% of 10
I have an example if you would like to see it.
