Limiting Questions with Variables in Articulate
Dear Community,
I have a question regarding question limitation in Articulate:
I would like to limit a Freeform Pick Many question to 3 Attempts. After this 3 Attempts the learner should be forwarded to the incorrect slide and should be able to go ahead with the rest of the course.
At the same time, questions should be reset on their initial states, when the user clicks the try again button.
Unfourtunately, I am ending up in an endless loop: Thus, I think I need to add an Variable which counts the Users attempts up to 3 and than add a trigger to incorrect slide.
Does anybody know how I could do so?
I am a little bit frustrated....=/

Hi Lisa
do they get three attempts at the questions one after the other or is it a quiz that allows them to 'retry quiz' three times?
They get it ine after the other and afterwards a new question with three attempts!
Hello Lisa,
You should be able to do this with variables. You can use a variable lets say Attempt count to add 1 when the timeline starts. Then have the incorrect feedback just them to the same slide and use the reset to initial state. You can have that same feedback jump them to an incorrect slide if the variable count is =3.
Here is a basic sample file with a set up.
Hi Emily,
it`s working!!! Thank you so much for the quick answer and your help!
Glad to help Lisa!
Can I limit the random selection to prevent selection of all the questions of the same topic. I have multiple questions of the same topic in my exam bank but don't want the student to be asked multiple times.
Hi, Terry.
Thank you for reaching out!
You can have more than one question bank, separating the topics. You can then create random draws for each bank, so for example:
- Three questions from Topic A
- Three questions from Topic B
- Three questions from Topic C
I hope this helps!
