Test action error.
March 1, 2005 12:00 AM
I am setting up actions to limit the number of times a student can take a test and I have a slight glitch. Here is what I did:I have a test intro page (in a module separate from the test) with a button "Take Test Now," to enter the test. This is the only way someone can enter the test; there is no forward or back page navigation. I set up an action on the "Done" button on the last page of the test that adds 1 to the variable "test_taken." I then set a condition on the "Take Test Now" button that it will only take the user to the test if the variable is equal to zero. I then set up two actions on the "Take Test Now" button. One: to take the user to the "pass" summary screen on the condition that the score is at or above 85. Two: to take the user to the fail summary screen if the score is less than 85. (These are the same summary screens that the student would have seen on conclusion of the test.)The actions work fine.Here is the problem: When I run this in live mode and the student clicks the "Take Test Now" for the first time, it takes the student to the test, but then pops up a warning, "You must answer all of the questions to continue." It seems like it Lectora thinks the student is pressing the forward navigation button before he/she clicks on anything. Any suggestions?Thanks!Jennifer Buchanan

If anyone is curious, I figured it out. Lectora was trying to go immediately to the Fail test page because upon entry of the test, the score is 0. I added a condition that Lectora should not display the fail page until the test is complete and the score is below 85%. I recommend testing the application in yellow light instead of green light when diagnosing action problems. I was able to see where Lectora was trying to go because it highlighted the page.Thanks!Jennifer Buchanan
