How to retake quizz if you make 3 errors ?
Hi everyone. I have a quizz with 10 questions. I want that if the user makes a third strike, no matter in which moment (could be choosing a wrong option 3 times in the same question; or one error in question 1, one error in question 6 and one error in question 8) appears a message that says: "This is your 3rd wrong choice, you have to retake the quizz from the start", and a button that jumps to question 1, with the score cleaned.
I have an idea on how to set the triggers to achieve this, but I wonder if there is a preset configuration that achieves this. Or any recommendations to get this result in a economic way?
Thanks!
There's no preset configuration to reset a quiz after a given number of errors. You have to add your own triggers to do that.
I'd use a number variable to track the wrong choices. On the question slides, the Incorrect layers could have a trigger that adds 1 to the variable. And the Continue button could use triggers with conditions.
Trigger with a condition that the variable <3:
- Jump to the next question.
Triggers with a condition that the variable =3:
- Reset the results
- Adjust the variable back to 0.
- Jump to the first question slide.
Follow Judy's advise but also, make sure your question Properties for When revisiting are set to Reset to Initial State.
If you use "Reset to initial state," the previous answers will be cleared when the user Reviews the quiz.
In my experience, keeping the Slide Properties at "Automatically Decide" for revisiting works best for Graded Question slides. Storyline knows what to do when the user is taking, reviewing, or retrying.
Thank you!
