Scoring a Quiz Multiple Times

Hello all. Question about quiz scoring. If a user goes through a course, takes a scored quiz, then stays in the course and takes it again to try and get a better score (if they don't get 100% the first time, of course), will the second attempt overwrite the first attempt in the LMS? Is this something that can be controlled in Storyline, or is this something I'd need to get with my LMS admin about because of being controlled in the LMS? Thanks!

    Also, to go a little bit further with some context, what we're wanting to hopefully do is ONLY have the first score go to the LMS, and no subsequent scores if they take the quiz multiple times. Basically, we don't want subsequent scores overwriting the first, if this is something that can be done.

  • there is a trigger to submit results so you could add a condition based on a boolean that only sends it when it is false and then add another trigger straight after this to set the variable to true.

    You would need to test as I am not sure if closing the course then sends the score as well.

      Hi Phil. Thanks for the feedback (sorry for the late reply). Could you go into a bit more detail about this process? This is something I'd definitely like to check out.

        Hi Jonathan, 

        I believe Phil was talking about something like this: 

        I've attached a quick demo file if you'd like to test how this course will work on your LMS. You can check out this article for more information on working with triggers that have conditions.
