How to reveal correct answer in a quiz question

Hello,
I am using Captivate 5.5.
Is there a way to allow the user to view the correct answer to a quiz question without having to keep clicking on the different options until they select the right one? I want to allow infinite attempts but equally, if they are in a hurry or just run out of patience, I want the user to see what the actual answer is straight away. Our learners are medics and they often have limited time.
So the sequence could be something like this.
1. User enters question page.
2. Selects one answer. It is incorrect and retry message appears.
3. User selects another answer. It is incorrect and retry message appears
4. User decides that he/she wants to see the correct answer before moving on. Selects 'reveal answer' and is able to see what the correct answer is.
5. User moves onto next slide (this could be another quiz question or any other type of slide
In another package I have been using, we can specify a 'reveal correct answer' button which shows the correct answer straight away. Is there something like that in Captivate?
Thanks....

I think what you mean is that the quiz question's Failure action doesn't trigger until the final attempt and that would never happen if attempts is set to Infinite.  So if you were only incrementing the variable when the quiz question registered final failure then you'd only get one crack at incrementing the variable. yes.  My bad.
However, if you are using Multiple Choice questions, you can also trigger actions using the Advanced Answer Option.  This will trigger an action when a particular answer is selected.  So if you set this for each incorrect answer, you could increment the variable each time they select the wrong answer.
You can also use this same Advanced Answer action to execute a conditional action that first checks the value of the variable and then shows the rollover caption or increments the variable as needed.
Say you create a variable called WrongAnswer and initialise it with a value of 0.  Then you create a Conditional Action called CheckWrongAnswer that looks like this:
If WrongAnswer is equal to 1 assign Wrong Answer with 2, (then on the next line) Show RolloverCaption, ELSE assign Wrong Answer with 1.
This shows the rollover caption after the second attempt resulting in an incorrect answer.

    Click here for information. If you can't reset them through the method described in that article or by sending yourself a rescue email(the email may take a few hours to arrive), contact the iTunes Store staff via the link in the 'Additional Information' section.
    It isn't possible to create a rescue email address without correctly answering two of the questions. Nobody on these boards can reset them for you.

    Hi, Corinneact. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities. 
    The usual cause for errors is that the security question responses are case sensitive.  If case sensitivity is not an issue with your answers, see the last step in the attached section of the article below. 
    Navigate to My Apple ID using your web browser.
    Click "Manage your account"
    When prompted, sign in using your Apple ID and password.
    Click Password & Security
    You'll be asked to answer 2 of your 3 security questions before you can make any modifications. If you are unable to remember your answers, you can choose to send an email to your rescue email to reset your security questions.
    Note: The option to send an email to reset your security questions and answers will not be available if a rescue email address is not provided. You will need to contact iTunes Store support in order to do so.

  • How do i get answer to my security questions?

    How do I retreive answers to my security questions?

    This cannot be done. At best, you can reset your password, but you will not be able to reset your security questions unless you know the answers to your current security questions.
    To change your password...
    appleid.apple.com
    click "forgot my password"
    "Manage Your Apple ID"
    type in your email Apple ID
    check the email address that is your Apple ID.
    look email from Apple
    find the link to Reset Your Password in the email, click it.
    All the best!

    Reset Security Questions
    Frequently asked questions about Apple ID
    Manage My Apple ID
    Or you can email iTunes Support at iTunes Store Support.
    If all else fails:
    Go to: Apple Express Lane;
    Under Product Categories choose iTunes;
    Then choose iTunes Store;
    Then choose Account Management;
    Press Continue;
    Now choose iTunes Store Security and answer the bullet questions, then click Continue;
    Sign in with your Apple ID and press Continue;
    Under Contact Options fill out the information and advise iTunes that you would like your security/challenge questions reset;
    Click Send.
    You should get a response within 24 hours by email.
    Presently there appears to be problems on Apple's end, so it may be quite some time before they respond.
    Another user posted the following:
    I got some help from an apple assistant on the phone.
    It is kind of round about way to get in
    Here is what he said to do and it is working for me...
    1) on the device that is asking you for the security questions go to "settings", > "store" > tap the Apple ID and choose view"Apple ID" and sign in.
    2) Tap on payment information and add a credit/debit card of your preference then select "done", in the upper right corner
    3) sign out and back into iTunes on the device by going to "settings"> "store" > tap the Apple ID and choose "sign-out" > Tap "sign -in" > "use existing Apple ID" and you should be asked to verify your security code for the credit /debit card and NOT the security questions.
    4) At this time you can remove the card by going back in to edit the payment info and selecting "none" as the card type then saving the changes by selecting "done". You should now be able to use your iTunes store credit without answering the security questions.
    It's working for me ...I just have to put in my 3 digit security pin from the credit card I am using.
    Good Luck friends!

  • How can I show the correct answers in a quiz on Adobe Presenter 10?

    Hi all.
    I'm newer on Adobe Presenter.
    I've finished all questions on the quiz, but I like to show the correct answer after the user select a wrong answer and submit it.
    I've tried many thing and the correct answer isn't displayed.
    Thanks.
    Rafael.

    The correct answers are displayed after the quiz is completed and the user Reviews the quiz. If you want the correct answer to be revealed to the user in the quiz, then you will need to customize the feedback messages to state the correct answer. They are just text boxes on the slides, so you should be able to easily add text to them.

  • Show correct answers on a quiz?

    When using the question slides, is there any way to have Cp4
    show the correct answers after the user puts their answer in rather
    than just the generic incorrect box?
    I'm figuring on making a slide to follow the question that
    shows the correct answers, but if there's a cooler way to do it,
    I'd like to hear it.
    Thanks,
    Jason

    That's what I ended up doing. For most of the questions the
    message box works just fine, but for the matching one there are too
    many variables, especially when the quiz is set to mix the
    questions every time.
    Thanks for the replies!

  • Highlight correct answer in online Quiz

    If this shows up twice my apologies but it looked like my post was not going through.
    I am putting together an online quiz in FrontPage using JavaScript to calculate the score. There is a button at the end of the quiz that invokes the JavaScript that will calculate the score. This works great. But, I would like it to also highlight the correct answer for each question. The following is the if statement used in the javascript to calculate the score:
    if(document.quizform.Q1.checked) { score += parseInt(document.quizform.Q1[i].value);}
    Is there something I could add to this statement to also have it highlight the text of the answer for the question? Any help will be greatly appreciated. TIA!

    I noticed a few weeks ago that the first result for "Java" on http://www.googlism.com (which is currently down) is:
    Java is not Javascript.It can be seen in Google's cache of the site.
