Challenge with reviews and Random Quiz Banks

Hello, 

 

I am having a challenge with an assignment with Storyline, and wondered if I could ask the pro's. I have been given an assignment to mimic our State Trade Code exams. This is a timed 70-question exam and is open-book. Unfortunately, I'm not able to get it to work. 

The State Plumbing exam has 70 randomized questions, with a total of 210 minutes to complete. Users are able to flag exam questions to review before submitting all answers at the end of the exam. 

I have attached a shortened 5-question exam for testing

 

  • I have a question bank of 100 questions, drawn at random from a pool of 70.
    • Questions are numbered #/70 for progress. (The attached is limited to 5 questions and 5 out of 10 slides for the random draw. 
    • There is no feedback for the questions, and answers are not randomized. 
  • There are a variety of T/F, multiple-choice, and fill-in-the-blank questions. 
  • Users are invited to answer all questions and submit their answers using a submit button at the end (In a separate slide)
    • Each question is set with next and previous buttons (user-driven navigation) 
  • Users have a flag button where they can mark the question for review after completing the quiz. (This button has a True/False Variable) to trigger a later variable to review all flagged questions. 
  • I am trying to create an option that lets users see only the questions flagged for review when selecting the review button. (The review button is on a slide outside of the question bank. 

The storyline function is:

  • Intro slide (with instructions)
  • Quiz Bank
  • Review (With review button to return to the quiz bank and review all flagged questions, and the final submit button to submit all questions and answers for grading)
  • Results slide with pass or fail (No review option). The goal is to provide users with an experience of taking the exam and using their books against the clock. 

Triggers/Variable/Java code

  • I have added a Flag toggle switch to each slide. There are normal (Unchecked) and selected (Checked) states for each toggle. 
  • There is a variable called qFlaggedvariable that allows me to include triggers to set the variable at the start of the module to true, and when the flag toggle is selected, it changes the variable to true. 

My question: Is there a way to show all flagged questions, or only view flagged questions when returning to the question bank (which is using randomized questions? 

I have attempted including JavaScript, ai, (Claude/Copilot, and Storyline AI), and none of them have worked...

 

Any insights would be extremely helpful!

    It’s difficult to jump directly to a flagged slide/question, but it’s easy to skip one that isn’t flagged. To handle this, we can add a trigger that skips to the next slide when the timeline starts, if the course is in review mode and the flag hasn’t been selected.

    Here is how:
    First, define when the course is in review mode. In your review slide, create a variable called *review* and set it to True when clicking the Review BNT. Then, remove the required condition from the “jump to quiz slide” trigger. So when user click on the BNT, it will jump back to the quiz and the system knows i't's in review mode.

     


    Next, instead of setting the flag checkbox on each slide, place it on the master slide. This way, you only need one trigger to control all question slides.
