    Users select one or more correct answers from a list.

    True/False
    Users choose either True or False (or Yes or No).

    Rating Scale (Likert)
    Users indicate their level of agreement with statements.

    Random Question
    Displays questions that are randomly selected from a question pool to which they are linked. After you select Random Question, select the appropriate question pool in Linked Question Pool. For details, see Random question slides

    Note: You can add a widget question slide only to question pools.

  4. Specify the number of questions.

  5. Specify whether the question is a graded, survey, or a pretest question, and click OK.

    Graded Question
    To evaluate the user using the score you assign for the question.

    Survey Question
    To get user feedback.
    Note: Graded option is not applicable for Rating Scale (Likert) questions.

    Pretest
    To assess users’ knowledge about the subject before they take the course.

New slide(s) with placeholder questions and answers appear in the Filmstrip. For a description of a typical default question slide, see Default question slides.

In addition to the question slide that you have chosen, Adobe Captivate inserts a Quiz Results slide after the question slides. This slide summarizes the points that a user has scored across all the question slides. For more information on the quiz results slide, see Quiz results slide.

After inserting a question slide, replace the placeholder question and answers with the required text. For more information on setting up the different types of slides, see Set up question slides.

    Users can choose to continue with the course or review the quiz. When users review the quiz, the Review Area in the question slides displays a preconfigured message. The message indicates whether the user answered the question correctly, or skipped the question. You can customize the review messages in preferences (Edit > Preferences > Quiz > Settings > Quiz Review Messages).

    By default, the quiz results slide is inserted after the question slides. You can click and drag the slide in the Filmstrip to any required location, for example, to the end of the course.

    If you delete the slide, you can insert it again by clicking Show Score At The End Of The Quiz in project preferences (Edit > Preferences >Quiz > Settings).
