Retake Exams

I have a training which should has 3 exams at the end of the slides. If the trainer fails the first exam, they should take the second. If they fail second exam, they should take the third exam. If they fail again, the course should start from the beggining. But if they pass any of exams, the course should complete successfully. I've tried to write triggers but when i testing, i am failing 3 times but the course is not reset. Can you please help me about this? Attached .story. Thank you for your help.

  • It looks like you need to add triggers on your result slide layers. On the correct/success layer you will need to add a trigger to go to the complete slide. On the incorrect/unsuccess layer it should direct the learner to the next test. I would remove the Next and Prev buttons from the results slide. On the last (3) test, add a trigger on the incorrect/unsuccess layer to go to the beginning slide. I would add a continue button to each layer. Most of this can be done in the Feedback section.

    Good luck.

  • BedirhanVarol​: Be aware of how Storyline submits results and completion status to an LMS. 

    It is possible to use more than one Final Assessment to track completion. However, Storyline submits the results from the first assessment that the user finishes. At that point, the course is marked as complete in the LMS.

    Alternately, if one quiz is labeled as a Pre-Check, Storyline will only submit its results and mark the course as complete if the user passes that quiz. If they don't pass, Storyline will submit results/completion on the first Final Assessment that the user finishes.

    With three separate Final Assessments, you could track completion with a "Complete course when the timeline starts on this slide" trigger on your "Course Completed" slide. But Storyline won't submit any quiz results. In other words, you'll only know that the user passed one of the quizzes (but not which one). 

    Otherwise, if you need the results data, you'll have to use just a Pre-Check and one Final Assessment.

    • Typically, if the "Report status to the LMS as" setting is "Passed/Incomplete" or "Completed/Incomplete," an LMS doesn't mark a course as completed if a user fails the Final Assessment. It will be marked as completed when the user passes that same Final Assessment

    • Thus, you could have the user repeat the 2nd draw. For that, use a question bank that combines the questions currently in the 2nd and 3rd banks (assuming they aren't just duplicates). Draw questions randomly. The user may still see some questions again, but probably not the exact set of questions in the exact order.

      Thank you so much for your kind reply. There are no problems about what LMS got Final assessment or not. I just need to information about if trainee passed one of them. 
      In my .story patch, my triggers doesnt work as i wish. I should make reset the training if trainee will fail 3 times, and there should be 3 exams. But now, after 3rd exam when the user clicks on the next button, training does not reset. 

  • Here are the Next-button triggers on the 3rd Results slide: 

    Trigger order matters. Storyline can't run a trigger if it has already jumped to another slide.

    Thus, if Storyline line jumps to slide 1.7, the rest of the triggers won't run. Or, if Storyline jumps back to the welcome slide, the three triggers after that won't run—including the trigger to restart the course. 

    Any trigger that jumps to another slide must appear be after (below) triggers for other actions that need to occur.
