Quiz Score

The quiz score/results do not display at the end of the quiz.
I get the summary screen with the boxes, but no results or scores
appear in the boxes. I ensure that the "show score at end of quiz
option is turned on", but the score does not appear at the end of
the quiz. Please help!

You said:
quote:
I ensured that the Quiz tab has the "allow user to review
quiz" option checked, although I don't want the user to review the
quiz.
There was a misunderstanding there ... I said to
enable this "
as appropriate for your use." Obviously, in this case, it
was not. :D
At the "Movie > Quiz Manager" dialog, what selection have
you made on the main tab ("Scoring") near the bottom wherre it says
"Quiz Pass/Fail Settings"? One of the selections should be checked
- either a percentage of the weighted questions must be correct to
"Pass", or "X out of Y" questions must be correct to "pass".
On the same dialog, on the "Quiz tab, open the "Settings"
dialog beside "Show Score at End Of Quiz". On the "Score" section
(about half-way down the dialog), have you selected the action you
want your movie to take after the quiz is completed? The two
options are "Display Score" and "Display Percentage Score", I
believe. If these are both left blank, you might also see what you
are seeing ... let us know.

Can you submit a User Variable instead of the Captivate Quiz Score variable to an LMS?

I am attempting to create two quizzes in a course that has branching. I know that Captivate only allows for one quiz if you are using Question type slides, but I am using a simulation to check the knowledge of a process. I want to report one of the simulation completions depending on which branch the user goes to (different branches for different products). How or is it even possible to submit user variables in place of the Captivate Quiz Score variable, the time in the course variable, and the Pass or Fail status to an LMS?

Sadly, I am using Captivate 5.5. I was thinking it should be possible to use Javascript to be able to take a specific variable and submit it to the LMS in place of Captivate's Quiz variables. I just don't know Javascript well enough to know how to do that.

How to get the Success Factors LMS to record the quiz score for an Adobe Captivate 7 module.

I have a few questions and one outstanding issue.
My Issue:
I can’t get the score to be recorded by the Success Factors LMS.
Question 1)
I notice that the quiz reporting section in Captivate 7’s Preferences menu has a “Data To Report” section.
However, for SCORM 2004 and Tin Can, there is no option to report Quiz Score like there is for SCORM 1.2 and AICC.
Is reporting the score impossible for those reporting standards?
Question 2)
My organization is using the Success Factors LMS and I’m trying to get the score to be recorded by the LMS.
I’ve set the Published Captivate module to report the Quiz Score as a percentage (Points is unavailable to me since there are more than 100 pts),
but the LMS is recording whether the module was Complete (passed) or incomplete (not passed or yet to be completed).
Is (are) there some parameter(s) on Captivate’s side that I need to be setting for Success Factors to correctly record the score?
- Maybe Captivate (in SCORM 1.2) should be reporting the Score as points and not percentage?
- Maybe I should be using AICC?
Is (are) there some parameter(s) on Success Factor’s side to interface correctly with Captivate?
I’ve checked the Adobe forums, but I don’t see any help there and
I’ve googled the issue to the point of exhaustion and frustration.
So, I would very much appreciate the help.
Thank you for your time.
Provided below is a screenshot of my Quiz Reporting settings:

Last year I worked with a customer who has the SuccessFactors LMS and, after some issues and discussions, the SF folks suggested their LMS supports AICC better than SCORM.
That stunned me a bit...
SO, sure, barring anything else, it may not hurt to try AICC!
And I think SF is also limited in their SCORM 2004 support. If going with SCORM, definitely try to get SCORM 1.2 working first.
Your settings look good to me. Maybe can't hurt to try 'points' but I'm not so sure that would work.
So you're ONLY seeing 'Completed/Incomplete' not 'passed/failed' as you'd prefer?
You're not seeing a recorded percentage at all?

Quiz Score Slide - Review Questions

Hi all,
I have put a number of discussions now and still can't seem to get this to work.
Once a user has completed the quiz and got to the quiz score slide to find out if they have passed or failed - for both I would like them to be able to 'review answers'. I know there is a review quiz but this just tells them what they got wrong or right and not why.
I have searched on Captivate and online to figure out how to make this work. I would like the user to be able to go through each slide and when there is a question they got wrong, there is an explanation for them.
Is this possible and how do I do it?
Thanks

Hi there,
You can have a slide as an explanation slide next to your quiz slides. You can use a conditional advanced action under On Enter property of the explanation slide. With the help of a variable called cpQuizInfoLastSlidePointScored, you will check whether the last answer was correct or not and have the explanation slide show/hide accordingly. For example, if each question in your project has 10 points associated. The variable will check whether the last question slide scored points were equal to 10, if yes then jump to next question slide and if no then go to the explanation slide.
Here is how it will look in the advanced action window:
Where Slide 4 is the next question slide and Slide 3 is the explanation slide.
Hope this helps!
Thanks!

Quiz Score in Slide Presentation

Hi All,
I have prepared a short tutorial in slide presentation format
with 20 questions at the end, and I'm trying to get the quiz score
(using Flash with AICC tracking) displayed on the last slide but I
haven't been successful so far. I am using slide template in Flash
Professional 8, and I followed the instructions in Flash help menu
including copying all the required files onto my server, but I'm
still having problem with reporting the quiz score.. The only thing
I don't understand very well in the instruction found on the help
menu is "start the LMS system (or create the AICC Course Descriptor
Files) that references the frameset.htm file."
I would appreciate if anybody could provide me with
information on where to get help on this. Maybe there is a tutorial
somewhere I am not aware of.

Cp6 Quiz score reporting error in LMS

Looking for any inputs - this one's a bit strange:
I've been tasked with developing a course that allows the learner to test-out by jumping directly to the quiz. I've set up a series of advanced actions that allow one shot at the quiz without reviewing the course content, and actions that steer the learner back into the course after failing the quiz. All of these actions work, and the quiz score reports correctly each time within the course - the problem is what happens after that:
I leave the course and go to the learner profile on the LMS - instead of 100%, the score is reporting as 75% (4 question prototype). I've set preferences to complete the course and report the score - the course reports complete, the only error is the incorrectly reported score. When I leave the transcript page and go back to the course, the course opens to the last question in the quiz, rather than the last page visited - and the question is not completed. Is this a setting I'm missing on the Cp6 side, or do I need to interface with the IT guys running the LMS? I'm running Cp6 with the most current patches on a Meridian LMS.

In answer to Rod's suggestion to set the score to percentage:
Done - the client prefers that report anyway. Still seeing the stuff as described below.
In answer to Erik's questions above:
after the quiz, you have a quiz results screen that shows all the information you'd expect, right?
Right - the quiz results screen in the course shows the score achieved
If they passed, how do they close the lesson?
The "Continue" button on the results screen is set up to take them to a completion page. that page has an "exit" button that takes them out of the lesson and back to the LMS.
Does the LMS report the same result as the summary page?
Yes if the quiz is set up to "submit all" answers at once in Quiz:Settings. (However, this is not my client's preferred set-up - so I'm still searching for the answers below)
No if you have the quiz submit each answer individually - see below:
The scores reported on the results screens for the quizzes in the red box above were 100, 90, 80 and 80, respectively.
If they fail the lesson, how are they redirected back to the content?
The "Continue" button on the quiz results page is set up to jump to the first page of content if the score is below passing.
Then they go through the content?
Yes - its required at that point.
how do they retake the quiz?
the "next" button on the last content slide takes them directly to the quiz.
If they retake it, does the summary slide show the correct information?
In the "submit all" mode - this all works perfectly.
If set up to submit after each answer, if you fail the quiz and exit the course before retaking it, the score is reported correctly in the transcript - it seems as if it defaults to the minimum passing score in when you submit each answer individually.
again, how do they then proceed to close the lesson?
They exit the lesson using the "Exit" button, which closes it and takes them back to the LMS.
I'd suggest adding a 'continue' button to that summary slide (if there's not one already) and instruct the user to click, take them to a 'congratulations' page and instructions to now close the lesson.
Done - see above.
Do you have the lesson reporting 'after every slide' or 'send data at end'? If none of the above options help, try changing it from one to the other (in the 'template' options).
I've set it using the submit all checkbox in Quiz:Settings - not sure how to access template options - is this a menu I'm unable to find?
Thanks again for your time on this -

Only Last Quiz Score Saved?

I am a new Captivate user but a very experienced Authorware
user. I have created a quiz in my Captivate course which is
launched through our Learn.com LMS. I notice that each time I take
the quiz, it overwrites my last quiz score. Is there a way in
Captivate to only allow users to take a quiz one time? Or is there
a way to find out the score for every Captivate session?
Interestingly, I notice that each time I take the quiz, the summary
page says I've only accessed it one time. Any comments or
suggestions to help with this would be greatly appreciated.

Andrew,
Hello! It's me, Carol Paquette (cjp717). I finally got my
Captivate to work correctly with my Learn.com LMS! As it turns out,
because we have SSL encryption on our LMS, they had to unsecure the
page that launched Captivate in our LMS registry settings. I am
packaging for SCORM 2004 - Flash 8. Yes, recording is now working
like a charm but only the last quiz score is saved.
I looked for the resume option in Captivate but can't locate
it. I can tell you this - the user always starts at the beginning
of the tutorial.
I also ran several reports from my LMS hoping that I could
generate records from all the session taken but the LMS must be
keeping just one user record and always rewriting the latest score
in the score field.

Quiz scores as email attachment

Hi.
I cant seem to get the quiz scores to post as an
attachment.They always show in the body. im using captivate 4. i
have posted the quiz to a web server. I set the quiz preferences -
email -attachment. I seems very simple.. is there a trick to
getting it to work?
Thanks
Mike

When you send as an e-mail, do you mean the html produced report or some sort output file? You could send it as an excel produced output.
Why can't you use a PDF option in this case?
Thank you,

Quiz score not reporting to the LMS

Initially the quizzes 'held' the previous answers so the user could not retake them. (Infinite attempts is selected.) I checked off Never Send Resume Data and now the quiz scores aren't reporting to the LMS. Any other suggestions of setting changes I should have done or could now try?

So you want the user to be able to take the quiz as many times as they want? I'm not exactly sure how you want it to act.
Do you have "allow backward movement selected in Quiz Settings? That should allow the user to repeat quiz questions and I think you should NOT have a check in the Never Send Resume data.
I'm no expert, that is for sure, just figure things out as I go. I would try those things and see how it works.

Reporting quiz score when spread across separate lessons? cp8

Hi,
I have 7 lessons in my course. The LMS does NOT support a mastery roll-up score like the originally indicated they did. They cannot be combined in to one lesson. They are large.
So each has a portion of the quiz (no, they cannot be all placed in one lesson, they have to be separate). What I'd like to do is gather the scores of all 7 parts and tally them in to one final score to report to the LMS. As I see it, Captivate does not support this. I spotted CPGuru's Save & Load data widget. This looks like it will really help out. I think using this I can save each partial score and then in the final lesson tally them all up. The problem now becomes how do I report that score to the LMS as THE final quiz score result? I don't see a way to modify the quiz variables.
Ideas? Another widget out there?
Thanks!

CP8, Windows 8.1, publishing SWF.

That is really a strange LMS you are using: no gradebook or something similar at all? What you are asking for is typical a functionality of (most) LMS's.
Quizzing system variables are read-only, you cannot change them at all. Although you could transfer the results of the different quizzes to the 'master' project, how will you transfer them to the quizzing system variables. Only those define what will be put in the SCORM reporting. For a different goal, reporting custom questions, I have been looking for ways to get results into the quizzing system variables, but for a use case like yours I only see Javascripting as a solution or the use of the Mastery widget by Infosemantics (SWF-output only). Summarizing the resulting scores into a user variable is pretty simple, but not transferring it to the quizzing system variable. Only scores attached to question slides, or to interactive objects are included in those system variables. Have a look at my workaround for a much simpler use case for one custom question, maybe you'll understand the problem better:

I have no blog post about the solution with JS, sorry.

Exporting Quiz Scores to Excel

How can I export quiz scores to a spreadsheet or database
without using Coldfusion or an LMS? The only references I can find
suggest using Coldfusion. I have access to Dreamweaver, but no
access to Coldfusion or an LMS.

Welcome to our community, smjohnson_1
I'm assuming you are referring to Tim Mushen's article at
this
link.
What you could do is to work with someone familiar with
linking web pages and forms to other databases. Then using the
information provided in Tim's article, you could have a custom
solution developed and implemented.

Captivate 5 not Reporting Quiz scores correctly in LMS

Our organization is transitioning to Captivate 5 from Captivate 4. We are using SumTotal as our LMS. I took a CP4 project and converted to CP5, then uploaded it as a test. The results were dismaying.
Captivate 5 Scorm 1.2 apprears to send scores to the LMS instead of scaled scores. For example; If you have 20 questions the scaled score should always be 0 to 100.
In the example I converted from Captivate 4, I have 15 quiz questions. In my first try I scored 60% on the Quiz. Captivate reported to the LMS a percentage complete of 0 and a score of 90%. In my second attempt I scored 80% (which is required for passing from within the Quiz setup) and Captivate reported to the LMS 100% complete and a score of 100%.
I repeat, all worked fine with the same course published as Captivate 4.
I work for a very large multinational company. This is a killer for us if we want to go forward with Captive 5. In fact, I have just spent a lot of money upgrading everyone in my department - money wasted if we can't use the output with our LMS.
Does anyone have any ideas, and is there a way to get to someone at Adobe if this forum is unable to provide answers?
Sorry to sound panicked, but I guess I am.

Hi all
You're absolutely right. Adobe silence is extremely unsatisfactory and unprofessional. Below are the email correspondences. Does anyone know who are the President or the CEO and the email address? I think it’s about time to find out why from the top man himself.

AS3 how to save quiz score with SharedObject

I'm working on a quiz using AS3 on timeline. I can't figure out how to save the score at the end of the quiz. The result of quiz is displayed by its dynamic text box (out_score.text), but it isn't saved along with the rest of information. Please help!
When I go back to section I, all information is displayed, but quiz score goes back to zero (0).
I have section I, which collects user information. Section II, 25 question quiz, and section III, which displays information and score.
SECTION ONE (labeled "inf"):
// score variable
var i:Number=0;
stage.showDefaultContextMenu=false;
// declaring sharedObject
var userInf:SharedObject = SharedObject.getLocal("userInformation", "/");
if(userInf.data.userName != undefined) {
gotoAndStop("closing");
// inf button
inf_bt.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, saveData);
function saveData(evt:MouseEvent): void
gotoAndStop("pg1"); // here starts the quiz
// SECTION II, for each correct answer
i++;
SECTION III (labeled "closing").
out_score.text = i.toString(); // dynamic box
userInf.data.userScore = out_score.text;
out_score.text = userInf.data.userScore;
// button saves score and user's information
save_bt.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, gotoResults);
function gotoResults(evt:MouseEvent): void
userInf.flush();
gotoAndStop("intro");
Thanks for any help!

Quiz score page font formatting?

I've created a quiz in Captivate 6. I have formatted the quiz results page to look the way I would like it to. This includes changing the font, color and style of the score variables that are displayed when a student completes a quiz. Any color formatting of the font for those variables works just fine, but no matter what font face or style (bold, italic, etc) I change it to, it always displays in Times regular when actually using the quiz after publishing. Is there something I'm missing or is it just not possible to change the font face of those auto-populated results? Seems like a pretty basic function.

The variable for the percentage that the user got is cpInfoPercentage. I agree, it should also have Quiz in it, but hasn't. That has confused a lot of users up till now.
Download my descriptive list with all system variables, link is in this post:
http://blog.lilybiri.com/system-variables-in-captivate-6
You can show a message (text container) based on the value of cpQuizInfoPassFail.
Here is another post that could be useful:

System variable Quiz Score deducts points when lesson is re-opened (Capt 5.5 with Kallidus LMS)

I'm trying to get to grips with quizing and reporting, particularly complete/incomplete to check content has been covered. I've set up a small test file that awards 1 point to each 'Next' button. The project works well in the LMS when completed in one go and if the user exits halfway through (LMS does report correctly as Incomplete 50%). The problem occurs when reopening the lesson it shows the score correctly for a moment then deducts points.
I've also included a user variable in the project to keep score too. I've tried various options e.g. default data tracking, user can skip quiz, etc but the issue remains.
Pictures below illustrate the problem
First opened - Top score is user set variable, bottom is system variable cpQuizInfoPointsscored
Halfaw and re-open - Completed course to halfway and both scores on lesson both at 5. Shut down lesson and re-opened. The system variable showed 5 for about one second then went to 4 whereas the user variable shows the 'correct' score of 5.
I've looked at the debug file for the LMS and can see that it seems to be behaving as it should i.e calling for postion scores etc and they are correct. Any help appreciated!

HI Loveesh,
There’s no recorded content, I just started a new blank project (so no leftovers from other projects either). The problem occurs in the Kallidus LMS imported as scorm 1.2 package.
Also, finally got it to work in 'Reload Scorm Player' and the lesson acts the same way.
Happy to share file with you, if you want to have a look it’s only 10 Slides @ 500KB.
Cheers
