Ability to retake randomized test
January 18, 2011 12:00 AM
So here is my current question/dilemma. I have a 40 question test (each question on it's own page) that is set to randomly pick 10 questions from the test. If they pass the test the first time they are done, but if they fail they are allowed to retake the test one more time. If they fail a second time, they have to exit the course and go talk with an educator to determine the next step in education.
Let me explain how I have it set it to see if this is the best way:
- Test is set to Random for 10 pages
- On Pass page the actions are there to modify the AICC score and work great
- On the Fail, when it is displayed there is an action that is: On Show, Modify Variable (Test_Attempts), Add "1" to variable //This counts how many times they complete the test
- When they click the Retake button there is an action that is: On Mouse Click, Reset Test/Survery, Test
- If they fail a second time the Test_Attempts action will run again which will change the variable to 2 and then I can show or hide text boxes and buttons to exit the course because the variable is greater than 1.
Besides the set up and functionality of this lay out, do I need to use the reset test action? What is its purpose? When I've tested this via HTML, the second time through the test always gives 11 questions instead of 10. Any help of guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
