Retake Quiz in CP4

Hello
I have a small issue with a project, In the quiz section it is set to allow retakes but when a user clicks the retake button at the end of the quiz it seams to be jumping back to the end of a section at the beginning of the module where I have one of Rod cool drag and drop question slides that is set not to score and is worth 0 points, I am using this as a review of the section.
Is it not supposed to go back to the first slide that scores are being tracked so it should go to the first slide of my quiz as nothing else in my project is being tracked.
Any ideas!
Mike

The quiz scope begins with any quiz question slide, regardless of whether it is scored or reported or not. It doesn't matter what question type it is, True/False, Multi-Answer, Question Widget.
If there is an interactive object such as a button or a clickbox before the first quiz question slide, it will not extend the quiz scope unless it is set to be included in the quiz. Even if you leave the boxes unticked for Add to Total and Report Answers, it will still mean that the quiz scope begins with this interactive object. If a button or a click box is included in the quiz, you cannot set its score to 0. It will always default back to 1.

Can Retake Quiz button take me to 3rd question slide of the project?

Hi,
I am happy to join this forum. I hope anyone of you answer my question.
I am using captivate 4. I am not storing score onto any LMS.
I am developing an e-learning course of 30 slides. First 20 slides are content slides. I have 2 question slides as 14th and 15th slides. I don't want these 2 questions be part of my main Quiz which starts from 21st onwards which has 10 question slides. The quiz result page has "Retake Quiz Button" which is taking to the 14th slide which I dont want. Actually Retake Quiz button should take me to 21st slide only.(..and all the question slides in my course showing "Question x of 12". But I want this to show "Question x of 10" only). Because I have used 2 question slides (14th and 15th) to check the user for better understanding.
Can anyone help me out.
Thanks in Advance.
Regards,
Manoharan.A

Welcome to the forum,
Each Captivate file, if you enable scoring will report a total score, in your case the score of the 'pre' questions and of the 'real' questions. Same with the progress (which you can disable).
Since your pretest only has 2 slides, to achieve your goal without having to create multiple files (pretest or final test separated from the main course), I would propose not to use the default Question slides for the pre-test, but to create them using standard objects, variables and advanced actions. This is perfectly possible for the most Question types, so which type did you use for the pre-test: true/false, multiple choice, fill-in-the-blank...? Instead of reporting the score the usual way (they get stored in the system variable cpQuizInfoPointsScored), I would store the results of the pre-test in a variable.
Both your issues will be solved: when retaking the Quiz, since only regular Question slides are considered as a Quiz, you will be taken to the first Question slide and the progress will be as you want it to be.
If you want to go this way, and need more help, please post your questions. I did publish some articles on use of variables and advanced actions but examples were made with CP5 (principles are the same). Captiv8r (moderator of this forum) has a gooberguide about Advanced actions (for CP4) that could be of great help:

How can we make the Retake Quiz button only appear when user reenters the course?

In a Captivate 8 Quiz, we need to force the user to close the course (so attempts are captured by the LMS) from the Quiz Results page. The Retake Quiz button cannot show at this time. However, when the learner reenters the course from the LMS, the bookmarking brings the user to the Results page again. We need a Retake Quiz button to only show when the user reenters the course, not on Quiz completion. Disabling the bookmarking disables the reporting of attempts. Does anyone know a way to make that happen or a workaround?

Have a look at my blog post:

Retake Quiz button not resetting questions

Hi all
I have a quiz with 7 questions, all single-answer questions.
When the quiz results are displayed, the Retake Quiz button is displayed if they have failed the quiz.
Upon clicking Retake Quiz, it takes me back to the start of the quiz, however, the previous answers given have not been reset and the question is greyed out.
I've been reading various posts on here, indicating that similar things are happening, however I couldn't find the reason with the quiz settings that I have:
Quiz is set to Answer All.
Quiz is set to Allow Backward Movement.
Quiz is set to allow 100 attempts on the quiz.
Quiz is set to display Retake Button.
Each quiz question is set to allow 1 attempt.
I thought that by increasing the number of attempts allowed on each question that this would solve it, but this just allows me to keep trying on each question until I hit the right answer, and does not seem to solve the problem.
I'm really not sure as to why, when using the Retake Quiz button, it is not resetting the quiz.
Any help greatly appreciated!
regards
Loraine

Hi again
I have now changed the settings in the quiz as per Lilybiri's suggestion. I now have the following quiz settings in place:
Quiz is set to Required - the user must take the quiz to continue.
Quiz is set to Allow Backward Movement.
Quiz is set to allow 100 attempts on the quiz.
Quiz is set to display Retake Button.
Each quiz question is set to allow 1 attempt.
Captivate 4 - AS 2.
After answering all the quiz questions, and failing, and clicking Retake Quiz button, some of the answers remain greyed out. It will not let you click Reset and will then automatically move on to the next question slide.
There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to it... sometimes the correct answer remains greyed out, and sometimes an incorrect answer remains greyed out. Sometimes when I click Retake Quiz none of the answers are greyed out, but then if i keep failing the quiz, the answers begin to appear greyed out. I have double-checked that i've set the number of attempts on the quiz to 100.
I have also tried using the Back navigation button within a quiz, to go back and change my answer, but the answers remain greyed out, and pressing Reset makes no difference.
It seems the only way I've managed to get a 'clean' retake at the quiz, is to exit from the e-learning, then go back in to it. But this is not going to be an acceptable method, when my company want to give learners the option to retake the quiz only if they fail, and not redo the whole package to get to the quiz at the end.

Inconsistent Continue button function when Retake Quiz button is present

Hi, I am using Captivate 4 on a Win7 computer. My problem is this. I have setup a 10 question quiz at the end of my module. On the results page (slide 37), I have a Review Quiz button, a Retake Quiz button, and a Continue button. The user can retake the quiz if she/he likes, but, regardless of whether the user passes or fails the quiz, they are to hit the "Continue" button which should jump to one of two slides (slide 38 for "Congratulations" or slide 39 for "Sorry, you did not pass") and then it is to automatically continue to the next slide that says "Thank you" (slide 40) and then the Captivate module is to close automatically. That's what is supposed to happen, and some of it does. However, here's what does happen. If the user passes the quiz and clicks the "Continue" button, everything works perfectly. But, if the user fails the quiz and clicks the "Continue" button - nothing happens. The "Continue" button fails to work. You click on "Continue" and nothing happens. It just stays on the results page. The slider does not advance either. However, if I delete the "Retake Quiz" button, then the "Continue" button works perfectly whether the user passes or fails. What is the fix here? I'm guessing you might need more information. I'l supply what I think might be relevant, below.
The progression:
Slides 27 - 36 : 10 slides of quiz question (one question per slide)
Slide 37 : Results page
Slide 38 : "Congratulations" slide for passing
Slide 39 : "Sorry, you did not complete this course..." slide for failing
Slide 40 : "Thank you."
Preferences/Quiz/Pass or Fail :
If passing grade: Action: Jump to slide 38
If failing grade: Allow user: 2 attempts
Show Retake Button is checked
Action: Jump to slide 39
Preferences/Quiz/Settings :
Pass Required - the user maust pass this quiz to continue
Thank you. Please let me know if you need any more information.

D. Sharma,
Hi, sorry, all this time when you were saying "it" I thought you were referring to the Captivate module that includes the quiz. I didn't realize you were referring to the quiz alone.
Here's what I have: the module contains the quiz in it. In other words, the quiz was created in Captivate and is part of the module. The problem I described happens whether the module (with the quiz in it) is published locally or on the LMS. It makes no difference. The problem persists.
Sorry for the misunderstanding,
Jorge G.

Retake quiz without showing results

Hello Forum,
I have added a slide at the end of my quiz results page. I
have buttons that allow the user to go back to the lesson,
go to a main menu, and retake the quiz, etc.
I have set my retake button to go to slide 1 on my quiz
(assuming that it would restart the quiz).
When I click the "Retake Quiz" button, I do go to the first
slide in the quiz, but the results of the answer show in the slide
(in a table).
Is there a way to "null" the results for the answers so they
do not appear on the slides? Or...
what is the way I can get the user to retake the quiz without
going to the slide just before the quiz.
Any one wanted to do this before?
thanks,
eholz1

good point. I could always add a static widget. I'll keep that in mind for future projects.
Concerning the failure captions, I miscommunicated. I have highlight boxes that are hidden and set to display upon clicking incorrectly 2x. I found the solution by adding step #1 below.
1. On slide enter, "Hide Highlight_box_1"
2. Allow 2 incorrect attempts
3. On 2nd incorrect attempt, "Show Highlight_box_1"
Now the highlight boxes work during the Retake.

Retake Quiz Issue

Hi there, I would like to have a Retake Quiz button at the end of a quiz.
This is what is happening:
1 - The user answers all the questions with 100% success. The score is recorded. I record with an Internal Server - all is good, results are sent.
2 - The user does not answer with 100% success - in other words - fails to get the mark. In this case, I can see only the Continue button and the Quiz Results are NOT sent to the server.
I would like that the user is able to choose always from two buttons. One - to Retake the quiz, the other - to continue with the failed result.
What am I not doing properly? I am with Cp7. Here are some shots of the Quiz Preferences.
Thank you in advance.
Bobby

Hello,
Waht are your Quiz settings, such as Action on Failing Grade? But I'm not suer at all that you can jump to another slide than the first Question slide.
Captivate always considers all quesitons in a file as one Quiz. You really do have two quizzes. One way to avoid this is splitting in two files, each one hveing a quiz and chaining them together. Or create the non-scored quiz slides yourself with standard objects, and be sure not to attach any score to interactive objects like click boses, buttons, text Entry Boses.

Retake Quiz - the feedback I added to be shown after 2 incorrect attempts is showing up front

Hi again,
I've got another question on the re-take quiz function.
I've set the questions to allow 2 attempts, and if the user get it wrong a third time they get feedback that appears telling them what the correct answer is.
However, when I am going through and then retaking the quiz, that feedback is showing on the question - how can I edit that?
Thank you for any help you can offer
Sarah

Hi,
No, it's definitly the retake option.
I have tested again, and it is happening to those that I got incorrect first time round, but not those I got correct.
I set up the quiz properties so that on correct answer of the question, the action is to progress to the next slide. I set 2 failure levels, and selected on last attempt Show and then added a text box with a message informing the delegate of the correct answer. This then shows on screen for 5 seconds or so and then progresses to the next slide.
I got the first 3 questions incorrect on purpose, and correctly answered the other 9.
When I clcik retake quiz, the first 3 questions that I got incorrect that first time, show that text caption from the start of the slide playing. The 9 I got correct do not show it.
I then got all the questions correct, and now the results screen shows I got them all correct, had 2 attempts at the quiz, but now I can't work out how to get to my final slide as it doesn't seem to progress automatically.
Thanks very much again for your help.
Sarah

Retake Quiz with random pooling continued

If I have my project pulling random questions for the quiz, when I use the option to retake the exam, does the quiz pull random questions again or is it the same exact test questions recently taken?

Retake Quiz will show the same questions that the learner got on the first try. To get another randomisation from the pool you need to relaunch the same lesson.

Quiz, Retake quiz,

Hi all!
My course has several practice ungraded questions, a real test (9 graded questions), and an "after course" reportable survey (8 questions). I want students to be able to retake the quiz once. The Quiz Results slide now automatically appears after the survey. I want to show quiz results and put the retake quiz button on a custom quiz results slide after the test but before the survey so students don't go thru the survey before they see how they did. I want students to get the opportunity to retake the quiz just after having taken it - and not after having taken the survey. And I don't want survey question info to show up on the "real" quiz results slide - makes no sense to the students. I also want to report student success in terms of percentage completed on the test - not just in points scored.
Please help. How do I do this? I'm in Captivate 8.

Survey questions normally will not show up in the score result, since there is no score. However some quizzing system variables do take into account all scored objects (number of questions is one example) which is annoying.
You can create a custom score slide. Have a look at: Intermediate Score Slides - Captivate blog
That post has a different goal, but you'll see several custom score slides.
I don't know which version you are using? The Quizzing system variables are described in these posts:
http://blog.lilybiri.com/system-variables-in-captivate-6
New features in Captivate 7.01 - Captivate blog
The last one has some details on new variables in 7.0.1. I didn't post the updated list for 8 yet... maybe after Adobe Learning Summit.

Captivate 8 Retake Quiz button - back to the wrong question slide

Hi
I still haven't fixed my retake quiz button problem. I have a project with several non-graded practice questions (hot spot, drag n drop, 2 multiple choice/multiple answer) followed by 9 "real" test questions. I want the students to go back to the "real" test questions when they click the retake quiz button. Now, the retake quiz button takes me back to the first multiple choice question in the practice section - not the first "real" test question.
In Advanced Interactions for the first multiple choice question (and the 2nd as well), I see that nothing is listed in Include in Quiz col and Report Answers = NO. But an entry appears in Objective ID and Interaction ID. I can't see this ID information anywhere in the QUIZ tab - I'm wondering if this is what's driving the retake quiz button to this slide.
Attempted Fix:
I saw Lilybiri's answer to "Captivate 8 Retake Quiz" entry. This sounded like the perfect solution to my problem. So I created a conditional Advanced Action:
If cpQuizInfoAttempts is greater than 1 Jump to (1st "real" test slide #) Else Continue
On the 1st "real" test slide I put this conditional action On Enter.
It didn't work. Please help me determine what I'm doing wrong and how to fix this retake quiz problem. MANY MANY THANKS!!! I'm getting desperate!
Smiles
Susann

You must have read my answer wrongly. Condition is OK, but you have to trigger it On Enter for the first practice question, not on the first real question slide. Since the Retake button will take the user to that first practice question slide, that action will be evaluated and the jump to the first real question slide will occur. Supposed is here that all practice slides are before all question slides.

Continue / Retake Quiz buttons act differently when Publishing in SWF vs SWF/HTML5

Hi, I use Captivate 7 and when I compare what I publish as SWF/HTML5 with SWF only it seems that there are 2 issues with the SWF/HTML5 site on Chrome (also on Safari)
Issue 1
I have 1 quiz on a course and I have set the Quiz setting to require a Pass to continue. I put the "Retake" Quiz button over the "Continue" button so it covers the continue if the person fails and will show the continue button only if the person passes. (I had also changed the Caption on the Continue button to say Print Certificate)
This works when I publish the course as SWF only. When I publish as SWF/HTML5 and view on Chrome/Safari then when the person fail it seems that the "continue" button still shows and makes the "retake quiz button" transparent or behind the continue button. If the person passes then it works fine.
Issue 2
In the same example if click the "continue" button several time it the website continues even though the person had failed
Not sure if anyone has found this an issue or has a better way for not making the Continue button to appear if the person has failed.
My objective was that there was a Certificate document after the quiz and if the person passes then they can go get the Certificate. If they fail then they cannot go tto the next slide to get the certificate. Maybe there is a better way to do this ?
thanks
Hatim

OMG, just checked it out and you are right: the Review button appears always on top of the Retake button. Please, log a bug report, will do as well. This is really very annoying because the terminology can be confusing,
For SWF I found a workaround: change the stacking order in the Results Master slide, send the Review button Back. That seems to work. But for HTML5-output, no way... Review is always on top of Retake. I also played with unchecking, and rechecking but cannot find a solution.

Retake Quiz

I have a project that has a 5 question graded quiz at the end
with all multiple choice. If a user doesn't pass the quiz, they are
forwarded back to the beginning of the quiz for a retake until they
pass. In CP4, if the user failed and was forwarded to the beginning
of the quiz, the quiz appears to be already taken and filled out
with answers. This wasn't the case with CP3... it was reset and
ready to be taken again. Is there a way to 'reset' a quiz for a
retake without having to refresh the entire browser to reload the
project? Maybe there's a different way to go about this???
TIA,

I've seen this question before. You MUST go forward after a
quiz is done. You cannot jump back on failure. The solutionis to go
forward to an interim slide AFTER the quiz. Then add a message and
a Continue button that jumps BACK to the beginning. If they pass,
use GOTO and then a jump to the slide AFTER the Quiz Fail slide.
Here is the order:
Slide 1
Slide 2
Quiz set - On fail go to Failure Slide, On pass go to END
Failure Slide
End
Settings
Allow 50 attempts
User MUST take quiz to continue
Scorm requires forward movement to score. I had a nice email
converstaion about this with the developers.
There is a documented bug that I just covered (today) with
the developers where the software will only take two jumps. Imagine
some slides, a quiz, some slides, a quiz, some slides, a quiz, END.
The middle one won't reset. they have my mockup of this for CP4.
Hope this helps a bit.

How can I change the action associated with the Retake Quiz button on the Results page?

The button takes you back to the first quiz slide, which would be good except my quiz is based on the scenario on the preceding screen. I want the retake to go back to the Scenario slide.

Which version do you use?
The solution by Firas101 was certainly necessary to extend the quiz scope in former versions, but has the disadvantage that the score of that button will be included in the total score and taken into account to calculate the system variables shown in the Score Slide.

Remediation with retake quiz glitch

I've run across a glitch when using remediation in a few quiz slides when also using the option to retake a quiz.
If you have a file with questions that use remediation and the user gets a failing grade, once they click the restart quiz button and answer a question with remediation incorrectly, the Return to Quiz button on the remedation content slide doesn't send the user back to the quiz. Instead the Return to Quiz button just sends the user to the following slide. The remediation works correctly the first time the user remediates prior to failing the quiz, but the remediation doesn't function properly when they're retrying it.
The link to the file below is to the Captivate 7.01 file
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/23385824/RemediationFailure/RemediationGlitch.cptxhttp ://
If you don't have the recent 7.01 update you can view a published version of the file here, https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/23385824/RemediationFailure/RemediationGlitch.htm
The first time viewing the file answer the first question incorrectly so you can see that the remediation is functioning. Since Captivate's remediation doesn't allow you to fail a question using remediation, you'll have to select the correct answer in the first quiz slide in order to get to the next question. If you answer the second quiz slide incorrectly the quiz will fail and show the Retry Quiz button. After clicking the Retry Quiz button answer the first question incorrectly to be sent to the first slide for remediation so you can see that clicking on the Next > button will send you to the next slide instead of back to the quiz.
I've tested this out in Captivate 7 and 6 and the glitch exists in both versions.

https://www.dropbox.com/s/u38vrbaaseintn2/RemediationGlitch.cptx
Corrected link to Captivate file. Didn't realize the original was borked.
