TIP: Give Different "Try Again" Feedback After the 2nd Attempt
For questions that allow multiple attempts, do you want to give users different feedback if they answer incorrectly more than one time?
It's easy!
- Create a number variable to track the attempts.
- Create a trigger that adds 1 to the variable when the user clicks the Submit button.
- Create triggers that change the state of the feedback text and/or other objects on the Try Again layer based on the value of the variable.
You can see it in action here in Review 360.
You can also view the programming in the attached demo file.

Note: A similar approach works if you want to change the Incorrect feedback based on the number of times the user has taken the quiz.
In that case, the trigger to add 1 to the tracking variable would go on the Results slide. I'd put the trigger on the Retry Quiz button to ensure the variable would only increase when the user takes the quiz again (and not when they simply review it).
Then you could show different states on the Incorrect layer based on the value of the variable. So, for example, when the variable = 0, you could simply show the standard "You did not select the correct response" message. But when the variable =>1, you could show additional info to guide the user to the correct answer.
This is what I was looking for - thanks
