Custom quiz Advanced Actions not working

Hi Sreekanth,

When is Q1Att incremented?

Looking at your conditional action, I see that you don't cover all possible situations. What if Q1Att = 1 and not all of the first condiditions results in correct?

The combination of AND/OR, especially with 'not equal to' can cause problems.

Cannot try to repro, don't have all the details.

The problem are those custom combinations, they are very tricky, since you cannot have parentheses in the condition. One of my old requests, sighing again. Explaining:

  (Cond1 And Cond2) OR  (Cond3 OR Cond1) is not the same as

Cond1 AND (Cond2 OR Cond3 OR Cond4)

It is only by trial and error that you can find out which interpretation is given by CP.

Moreover I learned always to avoid 'not equal', it is often not working.

Is this what you want:

• If first attempt is totally correct, Next button shows, and score is incremented by 10
• If first attempt is not totally correct, Try again appears
• When second attempt is correct, score is incremented by 5, Next button shows
• When second attempt is incorrect, Next buttons shows.

Question has 3 correct answers out of 5 possible answers. Are you using vars for the correct values of the answers or was that only for explaining?

My AA intuition tells me that I may be able to find an easier way than your custom combination conditions. First confirm if this is what you want?

Fixed, got it working, with 3 decisions. My values are different (Dutch), will post screenshots, easier.

Basic difference: I started attempts variable with 2 as default value, it was labeled v_number (had that one already in a scratch project) and is decremented by the Try Again button. Have 3 decisions:

• For any correct answer, which means only the checkbox variables have to be checked:
  
  Had to hide the Again button as well, since it could have appeared in second attempt. You see in Expression why I needed value '2' for first attempt and '1' for second attempt.
  
  

• Second decision 'SecondTry' will show the Try Again button if condition is fulfilled.
  
• Third decision is if the answer is still wrong after second attempt
  

I could have grouped the Again and Submit button to have two statements less.

Try it out, my tests were positive. Bit thinking out of the box, sighing, love this kind of cleaning up.

And the Standard action for the Try Again button:

PS Maybe you'll have to tweak if you want to enter the score of this question slide to a total score, you'll know how to do that.

You didn't talk about those captions, I didn't see them in the AA you described. I always try to get a clear picture of the problem before spending time on it, but you left that info out of the description.

What is the difference between those feedbacks? You could insert a variable to show that they got it right on "x" attempt but it will have to be a new variable if you want again 1 before  2 instead of 2 before 1.
