I guess you would have already tried this, but still, just to be sure, Have you tried setting the Action under If wrong Answer in question slide properties for the question. For example, If you want to jump from a question slide to slide 4, then in the question slide properties, go to Options. Then under if wrong answer, select Jump to slide, and select Slide 4.

Have you already tried this?

Cheers!

Did you have any luck working this out? I'm trying to do the same thing and I've got further than you seem to have in these posts, but have got stuck further on.

In the Question Options, I have given my user two attempts to get it right; one failure level; and then Action selected is "Jump to Slide". In the Quiz Preferences, I have also selected "Allow Backward Movement". What happens: If you get it wrong the first time, the "Try Again" message pops up. If you get it wrong a second time the "Incorrect Answer" message pops up and when you click it to goes back to the slides before the quiz. Exactly as it should.

However, if they go through this process a second time and try the quiz again and still can't get it right, then I wanted to move them on to a slide that provides them with more info to help them understand. But if I set the Quiz Preferences to "Infinite Attempts", then they just get stuck in a loop, going back to the slides on an "Incorrect Answer". If I limit the Quiz Prefernces to 2 attempts, then it goes back a second time, and then when they get back to the quiz it's stuck and they can't move forward (I don't want to put a Skip button on there, as then it's there right from the very first attempt).

Any suggestions anyone?

Thanks Mike. Yes, I'd come to the same conclusion - that my concept of how I want it to work can't be done with the way Captivate is set up. Thanks for your ideas of a work-around. For now, I've just set the quiz attempts at "infinite" and they keep going back in the loop until they get it right - with multiple choice, how many times can you get it wrong! After that I've put an explanation slide which explains a bit more about the correct answer and why the others are wrong. This way, even if they ended up getting it right by elimination, hopefully they'll understand why it's the right answer. The idea of these question slides is not for assessment - it's to get them thinking (not just reading and watching).

I've got the e-learning suite on trial. I will keep wading my way through and learning as I go - what I've been able to work out so far looks good!

I know this could be bit much for you application, but you could also create a variable and use that variable to show a button.  that button would enable the user to skip forward, but would only be shown after a number of attempts.  It would eliminate the need for addtional question or content slides.  You could then set to infinate attempts and you are all set.  You can allow the user to tap out after what ever number of attempts you like, you could even call that variables value somewhere at the end to indicate that some sections were skipped...

Just a thought.
