Quiz Review and Grading Issue

Hi John,

Upload the file. I can test it for you when I get time.

This is a totally new quiz that I made today.  The only things that I copied over from the old one that I was referring to in my original post were the password slide and the two instruction slides.  Everything else is new and this new one is still starting on question number four.

No matter whether you have 5 questions or 100, the outcome will be identical. The reason it starts from question number 4 is due to the reference to the Scene.SlideNumber variable in the 'Draw from Question Bank' slide. In your file, the 'Draw from Question Bank' slide is located at position number 4. If you delete one slide before that, the questions will consistently start from number 3 and so on. Once on the 'Draw from Questions Bank' slide, Storyline treats it as a separate scene, incrementing the  Scene.SlideNumber variable by one as you progress. You should create a variable to keep track of the number of questions. For example, create a variable named "QuestionCounter" and set it to 0. Add a trigger on the Master Question slide to increase "QuestionCounter" by 1 when the timeline starts on this slide. On the Result slide, set "QuestionCounter" to 0 when the timeline starts on this slide.

Sorry for the delay. If you right-click on your question slide and hover over the 'Apply Layout' tab, you will notice that your Master Slide used for questions is named 'Framed' with the layout 'Question'. To access it, navigate to 'Slide Master' (click the 'View' tab on the top toolbar and select 'Slide Master'). Locate the Master slide named 'Framed' and the 'Question' layout. Then, add your triggers accordingly.



In Slide Master:

Thanks for that!  I actually solved the issue by creating a new scene with just the question draw and results slide.  This had the effect of stopping the quiz from trying to count the first three slides.  I appreciate all of your help with this.
