JavaScript Programming for connecting course exit to browser closing

Our LMS is workday and unfortunately it appears that there is not a way to prevent the LMS from providing “re-take” buttons for our exam. Even when the LMS is set to 1 attempt only, it is pretty easy to find the backdoor to launch the exam again. This is a big problem when the user exits the browser before finishing the exam…they can get right back into the entire exam. We would like to block access to the exam upon any of the scorm reporting options: “incomplete/failed”, “complete/failed” and “Complete/passed”. We currently have an acceptable workaround in articulate for “Complete/failed” and “complete/passed” by using the “always resume” option in the articulate player…once the student gets to the results slide, they can’t see the rest of the exam if they do re-launch it. But we are having a problem with the “incomplete/failed” in the LMS…there appears to be no way to block the student from getting back into the entire exam, as a re-take button is always provided. 

In our exam, we want students to be able to 1.) review all of their answers prior to submitting and 2.) be able to skip over questions and come back to them. So we allow previous and next buttons for all exam questions. This is a critical feature for the exam and therefore, it makes the “always resume” setting only work when they reach the final results slide, but not if they exit before finishing.

I saw this short discussion thread from a couple of years ago of a cool idea that could be a solution for us, but I couldn’t find any other information on java script programming to make this happen. Is this possible? if so, instructions to add it my storyline360 file would be appreciated (I only know enough about Java script to be dangerous). Any other ideas?

I am told we have very little ability to ask for programming changes in the Workday LMS, so an articulate workaround solution appears to the be only route.
