Failing a Quiz Based on an Incorrect Answer

All you need to do is assign a penalty to question 4 and 6. Let's say you are awarding 1 point per question. If you wish to allow them to pass when they miss just 1 of the 2 answers, assign a penalty of 2 points to question 4 and 6. If you want them to fail if they miss either of these questions, just raise the penalty to 4 points for question 4 and 6.

What is the passpercentage required by the client?

I suppose the result will be transferred to a LMS, will you show both points and %? Is passing based only on % or only on score?

If you want to go with penalty points, this information is important. 

When the user fails.µon question 4 or 6 it has no sense to continue the quiz for the learner.

To be learner friendly what has to happen: leave choice to continue anyway or to retake quiz immediately?

Sorry I was assuming the default passing grade of 80% so that's clear. 

SCORM 1.2 cannot have a negative total score, but you can use penalty

points for individual questions.

I will answer later with alternative solutions for penalty points since you

only need a %..Same for the warning, I am on the road, no CP on my phone.

That is possible, I never used a penalty bigger than the score. Be patient,

I have another solution

Here is an alternative to the penalty that might work for your situation. Create a conditional action for the on-enter portion of the slide just after question 4 and question 6. You could use the same advanced action for each slide.

If ( cpQuizInfoLastSlidePointScored != 10 )

Even if they get all the other questions correct up until this point they will fail. This will also ensure that they will not get a negative score.

There are two possible scenarios:

1. You want to allow the learner to take all questions, and they'll only see the failure at the end. Your settings as I saw were: 15 questions with 2p score each, pass requirement = 80%, score will not be made visible. For failure the Percentage will not be show, only a Failure message. For Success, the Percentage will be correct.
   
   
2. If the learner fails question 4 (or Question 6) he will get a warning message about probable failure. He then gets the choice to continue the quiz (as a practice) or to restart immediately an attempt on Quiz level.

I had hoped to be able to write both scenarios out in a blog post, but after vacations all the work was/is waiting and have not enough time.

For scenario 1 this is the idea:

• add a score of 1 point to each question
• create a user variable (boolean) v_success with a default value of 1; it will  be set to 0 if question 4 and/or question 6 is failed.
• insert a short slide after each question slide; it will be a 'Success' slide, can have an image, a text, animation, whatever you want (could be same slide for all questions) and have a scored button on that slide (Next) with a score of 1 point.
• create a conditional advanced action that will be triggered On Enter for those Success slides:
  • IF v_success is equal to 1
    • Continue
  • ELSE
    • Go to Next Slide
• For the critical questions 4 and 6, you need a standard advanced action to be attached to the Failure event:
  • Assign v_success with 0
  • Go to Next Slide  

The result will be that each correct question gets 2 points (1p from the question and 1p from the Next button on the Success slide). When Question 4 or 6 are failed, correct questions after those critical questions will not get 2p but only 1p. Since there are still 9 questions after 6, they'll never get the Pass score. You have to make sure that they don't see the Percentage because it will look odd. You could calculate the correct percentage for failure but I understood that was not necessary. The percentage on Success for the quiz will be perfect.

If you need scenario 2, Will try to write it out as well.

That's great to hear.
