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.

Evaluation of the Quiz with more pools

Hello, my second ask ..
Example: I have the quiz with three pools, every pool has
couple of question about one theme. One is about math, second about
history and third about language. The quiz has 10 questions from
first, 15 questions from second and 8 questions from third pool.
When i take this quiz i want resume, where is:
Your Math is 50% and score 5
Your History is 33% and score 5
Your Language is 100% and score 8.
The whole quiz is 55% and score 18, you failed.
I hope that you understand .. i need resume from every pool
separately and one resume of the whole quiz
How can i do it?
(i'm sorry, i'm Czech and my english is not good. :-)

Hello there MisaCZ,
At present Adobe Captivate does not provide you with the
ability to display the scores from individual Question Pools, you
can only display the score for the entire quiz. I do like the idea
of being able to display scores from individual pools though as
well as the entire quiz and would recommend that you submit this as
a feature request using the

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.

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 - only failed questions?

Hi,
I have Captivate 4, and was wondering if you can set the quiz to retake only the failed questions.
I have a 40 random question quiz, with a pool of around 60 questions, and want the learner to retake the questions they answered wrong only, not have to sit through all 40 questions again. Is this possible?
If not, will it be possible in the new Captivate 5?
Thanks for your help.

Still been searching, no luck so far. I take it since people have been looking and no replies that it probably can't be done. Hopefully someone out there knows a work around or something for this.

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.

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.

Quiz of random questions

i have made a question pool of some 30 questions various
types.... fill in the blanks, matching, multiple choice etc
now i want to create a quiz of some random 10 questions....
one question on each slide. at the end i want the result to be
declared.
now what i do is create a new slide with random quiz and it
creates one question from the pool and declare result. i dont want
that. what do i do.

Hi Nicky
I'm a bit confused. I thought you said you *wanted* to
present ten random questions. If that's what you want, that's how
it's done. You declare a pool, add questions to the pool, then
insert Random Question Slides. So if you want ten, you insert ten
different Random Question Slides and when presented to the user,
they see randomizing.
Perhaps it will help if you state what you want or how you
expected it to work.
Cheers... Rick

Branching with random questions

Captivate newbie here...
I am trying to create a Jeopardy-style quiz in Captivate 3
using random questions which are contained in separate pools for
each question category. The game board is on slide 2 and it has 20
transparent buttons with "jump to slide" actions, each of which
points to a random question slide. The random questions slides have
a Submit button and a Back button, which I intend to cause a
backward jump to the game board. The branching tree view shows one
navigation arrow (black) from slide 2 to each question slide, and
each question slide shows "Jump to slide 2" actions for both
success and failure.
I had hoped that the jump back to the gameboard would be
automatic after the user answers the question, but it isn't. The
Back button on each slide must be used to get back to the
gameboard, but sometimes it takes the user back to previous slides,
with their already-answered questions, and the user must hit the
back button many times to get back to the gameboard.
I used the downloadable sample Jeopardy game from this site
as inspiration, but it's not really a quiz. In it, the user does
not enter an answer; instead, the answer is presented via a
rollover.
So I guess the question is, can you use navigation with
random question slides?

Hi ImagineerBill and welcome to our community
As you have seen, Captivate isn't too keen on allowing
Question slides to be presented in any order. I know this probably
sounds contrary to how random question slides work. But please hear
me out.
Captivate normally moves from slide to slide in a linear
manner. This introduces a problem if you desire to branch backward
in a quiz.
The answer to your actual question of "Can you branch from
Random Questions" is that you can. But you need to consider how the
branching will work and how it may affect scoring.
We see a similar issue erupt when you wish to have a common
slide with many links that may be launched. Often, the person is
desiring that as the original slide is returned to, the visited
slide is somehow marked as having been visited. And as you have
seen, this is exactly how the Jeopardy style game works. It works
by exploiting a bug/feature/callit what you want with Captivate.
This is the feature of a slide retaining the moused over state when
you have a rollover on it that is combined with a Click Box object.
Because the slide is presenting the rollover as if you were still
mousing over it, it indicates the destination has been visited.
To be honest, I'm not sure a solution exists for what you are
seeking. Unless you might construct the random slides as a series
that must be answered in a specific order, but presenting random
questions until you exhaust the pool.
Cheers... Rick

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.

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:

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

Please help me with random crashes of Firefox 7.1.

Please help me with random crashes of Firefox 7.1. I'm not sophisticated enough to give you programming data. The ting is I'd like to continue to use this browser, but feel that I can't due to very frequent crashes...which causes loss of info and restarts w/ the report to Mozilla Firefox.

Also, could you restart in Firefox [[Safe Mode]] and do normal browsing to your usual sites to see if you still get any crashes?

Custom Quiz with Master Widget not reporting in LMS (Captivate 5.5)

Hello,
I have written a custom quiz with partial scoring and, in order to report answers, I am using the Master Widget. (Huge thanks to Lilybiri and Infosemantics for all of the guidance I have found in blogs and e-learning classes!)
In summary, the quiz is composed of 2 questions with 4 possible answers each. Each of the 4 answers have a different score attached to it (i.e. answer a = 4 points; answer b = 3 points; answer c = 2 points; answer d = 1 point). On each question slide I have added a Master Widget (using the variable representing the points the student received as a slave object). I want the quiz to report the score for each question. After the student has answered both question slides, they continue to a "Results" slide. Here they view the total of their scores and get feedback on if their total is to high, too low, or in-line. On the results page I have used the Master Widget to report the total score to the quiz.
I have uploaded this quiz as a SCORM package to both Moodle 2.3 and Blackboard 9 (we are trialing different LMS systems). The quiz runs great in each LMS but when I try to access a report, I don't get any results: no report of the points received for each quiz item and no score total. In fact, in Blackboard I get a blank page:
In Moodle, I get:
Here is what my quiz preferences look like:
I am really stuck. I realize there are a lot of components to this process and I really need some help to find out where the problem lies.
Thank you for your time and help!!!

Bray,
Yes the figures shown on the Quiz Results slide are important because they indicate some of your widgets or other interactive objects are not being reported to the 'official' quiz score.
You need to go back and check the objects that you want to be included in the score. The 67% score reported by the quiz on the quiz results slide probably means that Captivate thinks you only have three objects reporting to the quiz and only two of those (two thirds or 67% in round figures) were successful.
You mentioned before that you have three Master widgets in this project. How many of them are set to report to the quiz? To test whether they're all reporting success, turn on Success and Failure captions for these widgets and then run through your interaction.
When using Slave Variables with the Master widgets for partial scoring, don't forget that although the Master widgets might count these variables as being interactive objects, Captivate does not.
Although the Master widget is VERY powerful, it also tends to mess with people's minds because there are just SO many ways you can configure it. If using partial scoring, check whether or not you have the option set to over-ride the widgets own assigned score with the total points score from the slave objects. If you use this option, you need to make sure that at no time can the over-ridden score fall outside the 0-100% range that SCORM-compliant LMSs will accept.

Working with random numbers and probabilities

Hi again,
i am working with random numbers at the moment.
in the first step i do create a random number between 3 and 8 which is stored to a variable.
set myVAR1 to random number from 3 to 8 as integer
Lets assume myVAR1 is 5
Now i want to select 5 numbers out of number pool from 1 to 8. Each number should be pickable only once.
How would i realize that ?
I guess i need some kind of pool, array and then select 5 out of this array, but i am not sure about the syntax.
In best case i would like to add probabilities to those 8 numbers in the pool.
i.e.
1 (5%),2(5%),3(20%),4(10%),5(20%),6(10%),7(15%),8(15%)
any help is heavily appreciated
best regards
fidel

Hello fidel,
For selecting unique numbers from given pool, try something like this.
--SCRIPT 1
(* select unique numbers from pool *)
set pool to {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8} -- number pool
set n to random number from 3 to 8 -- selection count
return {n, random(n, pool)}
on random(n, pool)
set kk to {}
repeat with i from 1 to count pool
set end of kk to i
end repeat
set rr to {}
repeat n times
set k to kk's some integer
set kk's item k to false
set end of rr to pool's item k
end repeat
return rr
end random
--END OF SCRIPT 1
For introducing selection weight of each number in the pool, you may try the below.
--SCRIPT 2
(* select unique numbers from pool with stochastic weights *)
set pool to {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8} -- number pool
set weights to {5, 5, 20, 10, 20, 10, 15, 15} -- selection weight
set n to random number from 3 to 8 -- selection count
return {n, random(n, pool, weights)}
on random(n, pool, weights)
script o
property ww : weights
property pp : {}
property kk : {}
property rr : {}
repeat with i from 1 to count pool
repeat my ww's item i times
set end of my pp to pool's item i
end repeat
end repeat
repeat with i from 1 to count my pp
set end of my kk to i
end repeat
repeat n times
set k to my kk's some integer
set end of my rr to my pp's item k
set j to 0
set i to 1
repeat with w in my ww
set j to j + w
if k > j then
set i to j + 1
else
repeat with h from i to j
set my kk's item h to false
end repeat
set i to 1
exit repeat
end if
end repeat
end repeat
return my rr's contents
end script
tell o to run
end random
--END OF SCRIPT 2
Hope this may help,
H
