That approach works fine UNTIL someone decides to change the question answer. Then you have to remember to change the test you are doing. Easy to make a mistake. Best bet if you testing the value of the answers is to use something like I describe above where the answer choices are hidden and remain fixed and action logic is unaffected while the questions can change. A further benefit is that you can put the question in the Library and use it over and over - changing the question variable name as soon as you use the library version of the question. 1. Create a question template on a page.2. Copy page to a 1 page course. 3. Change question number from Question_0001 to Question_00 (or whatever you like)4. Save that page.5. In your course, when you need a new question, copy in that page from the Library. IMMEDIATELY change the question variable say from Question_00 to Question_0002 for the second one (or whatever you like). This approach will automatically change ALL the actions that use the question variable. Since it is so important that one change the question variable, when I do this, I put a big red octogon with a reminder like "Change question variable" on the page so I remember to do this. If you don't, the actions on the next question loaded in from the library and this one will share the same variable.
