Still Looking For Answers: Quiz Scoring
Hi everyone,
I posted on here a month and a half or so ago looking for help with scoring with a quiz. I've worked out some of the kinks, but the main problem that exists is that even if you rack up all 68 passing points, you only receive a 98.52%.
I have received wonderful, wonderful support from Articulate, but it has not 100% solved the issue yet, so I am wondering if any other sets of eyes/brains out there have anything to add?
Of course you'll see it in story view, but because you need to get a 100% to see the problem, I've boxed where to click on the project for you on slides where it isn't intuitive.

It is a bit like looking for a needle in the haystack, it maybe easier to move the results slide and only assign a few questions, and keep moving to try and work out which one is not passing the score correctly.
What I can see, you are using mixed variables on the results slide so you have exam pass points which is a custom variable, and the built in quiz percent, try adding quiz.scorePoints to see if that hits 68.
You have a lot of triggers after the jump trigger these will never fire.
Completely agree here you are making life difficult, I can see slides where you have deleted the correct layer as well. Although it lets you do this type of thing troubleshooting just becomes a nightmare.
Add a reference for scorePoints and work through the course until you find the one not adding a score
If you're seeing a score of 98.52%, then Storyline's calculation is likely accurate. Score = (67 / 68) × 100 = 98.5294...The issue is most likely related to how points are being added to your custom variable. Take a closer look at the triggers on each of the 68 question slides — there's a good chance one of them has an error or is not properly updating the score. Also, remove any triggers that attempt to set or modify the built-in score variable — they don’t actually do anything good and can become a potential source of issues. Instead, use the correct layer to properly calculate points (1 point per correct answer) and let Storyline handle the scoring using the built-in score points variable.
