Question bank - marking questions as "used" and providing custom feedback
Hello Marni,
Actually, Storyline question banks do not repeat the same questions if you are using the "Retry" option from a Review slide as long as there are still unused slides to choose from. Once all of the questions have been asked, the previously used questions will be asked again.
The exception to this is if you select the option to "Reset only incorrect questions". In that case, the student will be presented with the same questions they missed on the previous attempt.
For your second request, yes. That can be accomplished with the use of variables. It is not overly complex, but you would need to have a good handle on variable usage. I would probably create a number variable for each bank. On each question, I would have a trigger that adds to that variable on the correct or incorrect layer and the on the results slide display messages base on if that value is greater than or less than whatever threshold you determine.
Hope that helps.

Thank you! Yes, this helps a lot! My client will be very happy to hear that we can do what he's asking.
Also, thank you for explaining how you would use variables for the correct/incorrect answers, that makes sense and shouldn't be a problem to put together.

Hi Ron!
I have one more question about this. What you described with setting variables for answers works perfectly with the "correct" and "incorrect" layers and providing the results at the end. But because this quite a large exam, my client has decided that they don't want to use feedback for each question, just the results slide at the end.
I've been looking around to see if there are ways to track correct answers without those layers, but I haven't found it yet. I didn't see a built in variable for individual questions, just final results. So I thought I would reach out one more time to see if you have any ideas.
Thanks so much!
Marni
(I should add that it looks like I can adjust a variable based on the answer(s) they choose, but that would mean going into all 125 questions and setting the variable based on the correct answer. Which, of course, can be done, but I'm hoping there's a quicker way!)
