Quiz Question, user to skip if wants to

Hi 

I have a few slides with quizzes, but I cannot figure out how to allow the user to skip answering a question and go tot he next question.

  • Hi, Sarah! Thanks for your post. 

    Graded questions can't be skipped but you can allow the learner multiple tries for a question before marking it wrong and you can allow the learner to Retry the quiz as well. 

    Survey questions are a different story. They can be marked as required or not, allowing the learner to skip questions if appropriate. 

    Here are links to a couple of tutorials that should help:

    Choosing the number of attempts

    Required or optional survey questions

    Allowing the learner to retry

    I hope that helps.

    Chip has it right (of course!), but I think you may be able "simulate" the skipped question...

    Have on each multiple choice question an answer saying something like "D - Skip This Question - you may skip up to X questions". 

    Then set your question values such that they need only correctly answer a set number correctly  (total available  - the X  amount they can skip).    Example set question values at 20 points each and only require 80 points to pass.   Provide 6 questions, allowing them to "skip" 2 of them (by answering the D-choice) and still pass the quiz.

    Hope this helps!

  • So there is no way to allow students to save a question and go back to it later before finishing their test?

  • Hi, Martin, and welcome to E-Learning Heroes! ✨

    You can allow your students to change their answers during the quiz by submitting them at once instead of after each question. Take a look at the instructions below:

      Thank you Maria.  This could work for my needs. I don't see how to "change the navigation controls from Submit buttons to Prev/Next buttons" though.

  • Hi, Martin.

    On Slide View, right-click the base layer and select Properties. From the Slide Properties, you can uncheck Submit and check Prev and Next

    If you have multiple slides, you can also change them all at once from Story View:

  • It looks like you're doing that in Storyline.  I am working Quizmaker and I don't have a "Base layer" option in my slide view.
