Quiz + Branching

I have setup branching in my captivate project using advanced actions which cause my questions to jump based on categories. Everything works great and scoring shows up correctly.
The problem is that the variable "cpQuizInfoTotalUnansweredQuestions" is countinh for entire quiz when my research indicates it should be branch aware...
I think the problem might be that when I got into branch view it does not show branches. I have attempted to create branches in the branch view by setting success/failures to jump but not work.
Any thoughts or suggestions on why branching isn't working properly?
Thanks,
Dan

Which version are you using? Do I understand that you checked the option 'Branch aware' in the Quiz Preferences, that the score slide shows the correct results but not when you insert the quizzing system variable that you mentioned in a separate text container? Did you research perhaps include the table with system variables that I offer on my blog?
Branching view has never been able to show branching that is based on advanced actions at all, an old pain that makes it pretty unusable unless for simple branching.

CP6 and Quiz Branching

We are trying to build a quiz where employees from different sites take a different set of questions. We want the employee to select their site and be navigated to their specific questions and when they complete the last question have the project jump to the summary slide. So far even with the actions on the last question being to jump to this slide on success or failure it isn't working. The project just falls through to the next set of slide.
Any suggestions?
Thank you,
Susan

We aren’t worried about the scoring. This ends up corrected to 100% with the feedback the students receive for their incorrect answers. We just need it to navigate correctly. So if the quiz for site one is on slides 10-18 and the summary slide is on slide 45 it jumps to slide 45 when they finish slide 18. If site 2’s quiz is on slides 19-23 then when they finish slide 23 it should also jump to slide 45 and so forth for each site.

CP 5 and quiz branching

This is sort of a follow on to my question last week.
The function is working that it take the student back to the beginning of the lesson content like Rod explained.
We are going to give the student 3 attempts at the quiz for example. On the third attempt if the student fails we want the lesson to jump to a new slide with some sort of statement telling them to leave and come back later for example.
I was hoping that the continue button would take them to the beginning of the lesson since we are giving them 3 attempts then if they failed a third time it would take them to the new slide. This isn't the case.
Should I try writing and advanced action and apply it to the failure action for the quiz?
Thanks,
Susan

The normal behavior is that the Continue button will trigger either the Passed or the Failed action you define in the Quiz Preferences. If you provide more than 1 attempt on Quiz level, the Retake button is best provided on the Score slide, and you can drag the Continue button under that Retake button, so the learner will not be tempted to click on the Continue button. In that case you can put the Jump to new slide in the Failure action on Quiz level.

Pretest Quiz and Quiz branching. Not working.

I have edited pretest actions correctly (per the tutorial) to route the learner back to the beginning of the slides if they miss 2 out of 3 pretest questions. However, when 2, or all 3 slides are answered incorrectly it does not route them back.

Hello,
Welcome to Adobe Forums.
Do you have MAC or Windows ?
Does it happen with all the projects or did you test this on a blank new project as well ?
Thanks,

Quiz branching / jump to slide broken

Hi everyone,
First up, I'm using Adobe Captivate 2.0.0
The problem:
When I try to "jump to slide" on success or failure the project jumps back to frame one for some reason.
Further information and what I've tried:
I've got a Question slide on slide 6, a screen with information about how to answer the question correctly on slide 7, with the next question on slide 8. Slide 6 is set up to jump to slide 8 on success, and go to next slide 7 on failure. Now it works fine when you get it wrong: It just scoots on to the next slide, but whenever I get it right it throws me back to the first frame.
I've tried moving the slides around to different slide numbers, tried giving them slide names, tried previewing from slide 6 (it just jumps back to slide 6 rather than slide 1 when you get the answers right), previewing in Captivate and publishing and previewing published. They all jump you back to the first slide rather than going to slide 8.
Slide 6 and 8 are graded questions while slide 7 is just a regular slide with text on it.
Anyone had this problem before? Any solutions out there?
Sorry if this has been asked before. I did a search through these forums and on the web and didn't really find a similar problem.

Hey, I also encountered this kind of an issue once and finally came to know that I had set a slide enter action on the slide to which I am jumping. Therefore, could you please confirm that on slide 8 (the slide to which you jump when answer is correct on slide 6), does not have any action set 'on slide enter'. If there is an action like jump to slide 1 on slide enter then- When a correct answer is given on slide 6 it jumps to slide 8 and asa it enters slide 8 it jumps to 1st slide.

Small Branch Aware Quiz Returning NaN Results

I'm trying to use the Branch Aware function to constuct a quiz for 3 different tracks that people can choose. My real file is not working, so I created a small example, and it's not working either. Here is a screenshot of the branching view to give a sense for the flow:
When I hit the quiz for branch 1, I answer it correctly, and the quiz results show this:
As far as I can tell, it's the same for all three branches.
Feel free to download the file and tell me where I'm going wrong. This is just my first time, so I'm sure there's something I've overlooked... You can find the file here: http://www.theharagans.com/captivate7/BranchingQuizTest.cptx
Many thanks in advance!

UPDATE with a REAL SOLUTION!
Okay, my intention of having a branching quiz was to have a student take 1, some, or all (their choice) of a multiple-track module, with each track having its own quiz. My flaw originated in that I had the action on the last quiz slide for each branch to go to the quiz results slide, however, if the action on the last quiz slide for a branch is to go back to the point at which a student picks which module they want, the quiz doesn't break.
What I ended up doing was creating a button on the "menu" slide that takes the student to the quiz results. That HAS to be the last action the student takes before they're done with the module. If the module in any way loops back AFTER the quiz results are displayed, the quiz breaks.
So the branching view now looks like this, and it works for taking multiple tracks in the same iteration of the training.

HELP! Lesson with 2 branches locking on Quiz Result screen when learner (of either branch) fails.

I have a CP6 lesson which is essentially two parallel branches, with only the following slides in common:
A "Welcome" slide
A slide where the learner chooses his branch
A "Congrats! You completed the test" slide
A "You did not answer the questions correctly" slide
Once the learner chooses his branch, he is given a 5-question test.   If he fails the test, he is taken to a short lesson, specific to the content tested in that branch.   When he finishes the lesson, he is taken BACK to the test to try again. If he fails, back to the lesson, then back to the test, etc. until he passes. (I set max attempts to "10" under "Quiz Preferences")   When he passes, he is taken to the "Congrats" slide and the lesson ends.
I set the last question in each branch to go to the Quiz Results slide (success or fail), and I set the Quiz Preferences to jump to the "Congrats" slide if passing, and to the "You did not answer the questions correctly" slide if learner fails.
That's how it's supposed to work anyway. And that's how it WAS working until I made a change somewhere and mucked it all up.
What is happening instead is:
Passing test (both branches) takes learner to Quiz Results and the "Congrats" slide just fine.
Failing test (either branch) takes learner to Quiz Results and then gets stuck there.    (In fact, if I click the "Continue" button a second time on the QR slide, the lesson still doesn't advance but all the graphics I put on that slide disappear, which is weird and not at all helpful.)
The branching looks ok to me.   What am I missing?
I know I need to upgrade, and we will be soon, but not before this lesson has to be published -- which is, of course, yesterday.
Help? Anyone?

Figured it out. Had "Required" on the "Quiz: Settings" page set to "Pass Required - The user must pass the quiz to continue". That kept the learner from continuing beyond the "Quiz Results" slide and looping back to the didactic content and retaking the quiz.
I changed "Required" to "Required - The user must take the quiz to continue."   Learner is able to loop back/read/retest as many times as needed in order to pass the quiz. All is well.

Conditional Branching with quiz slides not working

Attempting to use conditional branches with quiz slidescauses
the other quiz slides in my presentation to not work correctly. I
am attempting to create a 'test-out' pre-quiz for a segment of
slides in the presentation. I followed the instructions to add
conditional branching per page 46 of the Breeze Presenter User
Guide to obviously no avail. Is there a simple straightfoward
manner in which someone has successfully used conditional branches
with their quiz slides in their presentation?

Hi,
I had the same issue.Apparently as of now PDF templates do not support conditional formatting for XML Publisher.
See Tim Dexter's response to my query at the bottom of this thread...
Re: Using the '%' operator in microsoft word template builder for XMLP
I could get some conditional formatting to work on the pdf template but only for the form field font,size and styles using Javascript, but I don't think there is a way to display values for the form field based on an if condition...

Random branching for quiz questions

I have a quiz that has ten questions. I want participants to
answer all ten questions but not in any specific order. Is there a
setting for random branching within a quiz?

I've uploaded our solution to the random quiz in captivate to
the exchange. It doesnt randomize within a quiz, but it randomizes
quizzes from a pool of quizzes, which can have a similar effect.
This is a javascript patch to the HTML wrapper generated by
Captivate:

Create a branching quiz

How do you create a branching quiz using the quiz slides?
I tried to use variables (e.g. userChoice, totalScore). I added action to assign userChoice to a number based on the choice. Then I executed adavanced actions in quiz propertiies with if the right answer is chosen, jump to a different slide + add 1 to the totalScore. else, it goes to a different quiz slide.
It is stuck in the slide without advancing to the right slide.
Any reason why it does not work?
Thanks,

Lilybiri, Thank you for the quick response. I put the screen capture while reading your blog now. This is the first time I'm trying to use quiz in Captivate so I'm not familiar with some of the terms.
> But I'm wondering if you are using default Question slides or custom question slides, because you talk about storing in user varaibles. Could you try to explain exactly what you are using and what you want to achieve, more specifically if you want to report the score to a LMS or not?
I'm trying to create is a template for soft skill simulations. Maybe a video playback of a situation and ask the learn what to do next. The user clicks on a choice. It provides feedback (or not) and goes to a slide based on the user choice. I would evaluate using the variable totalScore and choice user made in each step. At the end, I would pass that data to Lectora.
I inserted a question slide, edited, and duplicated for multiple questions as different steps for the simulation. The Quiz result page is at the end. Does that count as within quiz scope?
> The screenshot of the action popped up while I was answering. What is the action Else:
I have it jump to slide of a different slide for the less favorable choices.
Thanks for the info on cpQuizInfoAnswerChoice. I just tried but this system variable is not on the list in the pull-down menu. It only has: cpComndShowPlaybar, cpCmndMute, cpLockTOC, and user variables.

Branching Quiz: Review Quiz shows ALL questions and MaxScore includes too many scores

I'm using Captivate 6 (trial version) and I am testing out the branching capability following this tutorial ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C-_Ja8vlZQw). The branching is working, but if I get to the end of my quiz and then select 'Review Quiz', it shows ALL the slides, including the ones that should NOT show up because the user selected options that didn't trigger them.
Also, it looks like the Maximum Score on the results slide includes the scores the user could get on slides they never see because of the branching :(.

It has been a while since I tested this, but it did work for me. I suppose you are using version 6.0.1.240? Because I had some issues before the patch. I will check again if you confirm the version. And you are sure to have checked Branch aware in Quiz Preferences?

Branching from end of quiz slide

I'm trying to branch from the end of quiz slide.
The last quiz question will either send users to pass
certificate for printing or Sorry, try again slide. When user
prints certificate the published exe file doesn't know where to go
next and goes to a blank screen. On the end of quiz slide, is there
a way to add an exit to the exe standalone publish mode?
Charles

Got it. Forgot Quiz Prefs - pass goes to certificate, fail
goes to sorry slide....

Multi-language branching quiz

Hello All,
I'm trying to streamline a 2 language project by having a
branching quiz (1 branch English, 1 branch French). I have the
question pools and questions set up no problem but I'm wondering
how/if I can have two separate "Results" slides (1 for each
branch).
At the end of the day I can always just build 2 separate
projects and link them but that seems a bit kludgey to me.
Any help is appreciated.

...using Cap 3

Hoan - is your question what are the considerations when creating multiligual catalogs? If so, I can tell you that at other clients I have seen them use a single catalog for one or two languages. For the two langugages, such as Spanish/English, you can create a single catalog with both of them. Once you get to more than two languages, the catalog would get unweildy and is therefore not suggested.

Complex branching quiz help

I have a request to do a quiz where the incorrect responses
provide specific, different feedback. From what I've seen in
Captivate quizzes I can do a retry, but cannot connect the 1st and
2nd incorrect feedback to a specific choice. ex: choose B get
feedback 1, choose C get feedback 2. As an alternative, I can go
the way of creating branching scenario with slides that provide the
specific feedback, but I cannot figure out how to get the scoring
to work where they only get credit if the correct answer is
selected as a first choice - AND how do I get a results page that
shows the final grading which pops in automatically with Quiz,
Question slides. is this just too complex for Captivate? ARGH!
Using version 3.
I now this is a lot to ask on a forum, and thanks to all who
know more than me. I appreciate your help.
Donna

For Multiple Choice questions, you can add feedback that is
specific to the answer chosen (I don't think you can do this with
any other question type). This might get you a good distance into
your solution. Create a multiple choice question and for each
answer you type in, click on the Advanced... button under the Add
and Delete buttons. Check the Advanced Answer Options box at the
top and the Show Feedback Message box at the bottom. This will add
a text field to your slide for each answer you do this with. You
can edit each of those fields with the specific feedback for that
answer.
I haven't been able to do this in such a way that you are
able to make more than one attempt, though. Once you pick the wrong
answer and get the feedback as to why that answer is wrong, the
next thing you click moves you on to the next slide. We've gotten
around that by making multiple copies of the question slide. Kind
of a pain.
I don't know the answer to your results page question if
choosing "Show score at end of quiz" in the settings in Preferences
didn't work.
Sorry I can't be more help than that.

Quiz review on branching

Hi there!
I have a very simple test project with an issue on the "Review Quiz". There is the "Branch-aware" flag and a link to the project at the end to restart and reset everything. But when I click the "Review quiz" after completing the "Sondrio" path, CP is showing the slides I answered and the slides of the other PATH (Bergamo) that I did not answered with the alert: "You did not answer this question completely". I have not the same behavior on the other path. I cleared the cash of the project from General Settings and this is not an LMS project. I'm using CP8 8.0.1.242 version.
How can I take the review quiz on both branch paths only for the slides I answered? Thanks!
Here is the original file if you want to test it:
