I know this is an old post, so hopefully someone sees it. I tried some of the methods above with success for over a year now, however I just noticed a glitch with my thinking.

I had it adding 1 to the variable when the submit button is clicked. The problem is with the message that appears if a choice isn't selected. The page doesn't advance, but the submit button was clicked so it adds 1, which ends up throwing the count off.

I have the code entered on the master slide. I've tried adding code to text boxes and even shapes that are off the screen, so that once the timeline starts, 1 is added to the variable.

This works for the first page using that layout, but it doesn't continue adding 1 after that. I'm assuming it's because the timeline started on the previous screen and it's not resetting.

Any thoughts?

Hey David,

Glad you figured out an answer - my first thought was to add it to the incorrect/correct feedback layers continue button vs. the submit button. That way if the user is wrong but gets to answer again, they'll only be adjusting the variable when they advance off that slide. 

Glad to see that this thread is still assisting users here Katie :)

On the results slide, I try to put a trigger on the Retry button to restart the numbering again from 1. However, it doesn't work for my file - the number keeps adding up. Is there anything missing ?

Hello Wendy,

Thank you so much for helping me out. I am not sure... I attached the image of the triggers

Sorry Yolanda my fault

the trigger should be to adjust the variable to 0 so that it can start adding back once the user gets to the quiz slides.  Here is the trigger

It works now!! I spent much time on it..Thank you so much. :)

Hi All!!

this is a great thread! I'm experiencing some of the issue above with my question variable coming out  more than my hardcoded quiz question number  (i.e. question 42 out of 40). I'm leveraging multiple question pools (have a total of 40 questions) and they are random, but a few have questions that are linked to each other so we can ask multi-part questions.  Other than making sure the slide is set to 'reset to initial state'  and making sure only the main question slides have a trigger to add to the QuestionCount variable I have set up, that's about all I can do if I understand correctly, right??

Hi Wendy!

  I'm seeing it during the initial quiz. I'm hoping I got it worked out though - forgot we'd added two more questions but my count was still showing 48 of 40 and that would still only bring me up to 48 of 42 so I'm going to re-test this morning and cross everything! today is my deadline so if anything we'll have to figure something else out! *I'm also having an issue with question pool'd questions repeating themselves so that's not helping my count! :)
