Select:
In the Preferences dialog box, select Settings from the Quiz menu.
Enter the information in the following fields:
Name | Enter a name for your quiz. In a project with more than one quiz, naming helps identify a quiz easily. |
Required | Select one of the following options from the menu:
|
Objective ID | The ID of the quiz to which the question slide belongs. In a master quiz containing multiple quizzes, an objective ID helps identify the quiz to which the question belongs. |
Interaction ID Prefix | Every action that the user performs on a question slide is assigned a unique interaction ID. For example, when the user attempts a question incorrectly the first time, and gets it right the next time round, Adobe Captivate Classic generates two interaction IDs. Use this field if you want to customize the generated interaction IDs by prefixing them with the assigned characters. |
Shuffle Answers | For question slides with multiple answers, the answers are shuffled when the user attempts the same question slide the next time. |
Clear | Select to display a Clear button for all quiz questions. |
Back | Select to display a Back button for all quiz questions. |
Skip | Select to display a Skip button on all quiz questions. |
Review Mode Navigation Buttons | Adds << and >> buttons to cycle through quiz so participants can review their answers after completion. |
Submit All | Enable this option to let users review and modify answered questions and submit all questions simultaneously. For more information, see Submitting all answers simultaneously. When you enable the option, the Submit All Messages dialog box displays, where you can customize the messages that appear on submitting a quiz. |
Branch Aware | Use this option to calculate the final score based only on the questions in the ‘branch' that users have viewed. For example, consider that a project contains a quiz that branches into two modules that in turn contain a quiz each. If a user reaches the module with three questions and 10 points each, the total score is considered as 30 points. If this option is not enabled, the scores are calculated on the total number of questions in the project and not the module that users actually viewed. Note: Pretests are branch-aware by default. |
Show Progress | Select this option to show users which question number they are currently working on within the quiz. For more information, see Set progress indicator preferences. |
Allow Backward Movement | Select to allow participants to visit slides that were attempted previously. |
Show Score At End Of Quiz | Lets users view their score at the end of the quiz. You can customize the message that appears when the user passes or fails the quiz. Click Quiz Result Messages to customize the messages. You can also customize the options that you want to be displayed on the score slide. When you enable this option, the Quiz Result Messages dialog box displays, where you can customize the passing and failing messages, and choose the scores to be displayed at the end of a quiz. |
Allow User to Review the Quiz | Users can review a quiz after they have completed attempting it and the score has been displayed. This option allows users to find out questions they answered incorrectly, and their correct answers. You can customize the messages provided in the feedback. When you enable this option, the Question Review Messages dialog box displays, where you can customize the messages that appear upon reviewing the quiz. |
Hide Playbar in Quiz | Select this option to hide the playbar on the question and result slides. Note: A playbar is never displayed for pretest questions. |
When users review the quiz after attempting to answer it, Adobe Captivate Classic provides feedback graphically through images.

You can set the minimum score required to pass a quiz. You can also define the action that should take place after the user passes or fails a test.

In the Pass /Fail options, do one of the following:
To decide the course of the project after the user passes a quiz, select an action in the If Passing Grade section.

The progress bar displays the user's progress through the questions.
To set preferences for progress indicator,
Select:
In the Preferences dialog box, select Quiz > Settings.
In the Settings section, select Show Progress.
Specify a progress type. This decides how the progress bar displays the user's progress through the questions.
Relative Progress lists the current question and the total number of questions (for example, "Question 3 out of 10").
Absolute Progress lists just the question number (for example, "Question 3").
In branched quizzes, the branching path can be indefinite. For example, if users click button A, then they go to branch 1 else branch 2. In such cases, Adobe Captivate Classic omits the total number of questions even if Relative Progress is selected.
