• Hi Alex.
    I created a multiple-choice quiz with 30 questions and the following features:

    1) Quiz Format:
    – Do not show question feedback
    – 1 question per page

    2) Completion Option
    – Email (me) when the quiz has been taken.

    To my surprise, after I tested it, I received 30 confirmation emails. I supposed it has something to do with the pagination. Can you look into it when you have a chance?

    Regards,
    Humberto

    Hopefully something straight forward to fix…

    Hi Alex.
    I tested this again, this time with 50 questions and without the email (me) upon quiz completion. Though the the quiz presents all questions as expected, when you reach the end, it does not submit the quiz in the first time the user confirms quiz completion.

    I had to confirm 3 times. Then the quiz showed the results online, but failed to save quiz results database.

    I suspect this has something to do with pagination.

    Note that if you show to show one question at a time, the plugin submits one email per page shown onscreen upon quiz completion.

    Hope this throws some extra light into this issue.

    Regards,

    Hi again – I’ve spent a bit of time fixing many AJAX errors I hadn’t noticed on the quiz page submit function.
    I’ve basically rewritten several parts from scratch – latest code updated on guthub.
    Make sure you clear your cache to get the latest css and JS versions.

    Please let me know how you get on.
    best wishes,
    Alex

    Hi Alex. The following are excellent updates.
    – “Please wait, loading…” message.
    – The same goes for “Save and continue” and “Save and Go Back”. Great implementation, though I think the buttons are oversized.
    – Quiz result report: The way you’re presenting answer validations and incorrect choices is perfect. The colors are balanced, the report visually appealing, and easy to read.

    Some bugs and possible areas for improvement.

    ==================================
    Multiple Choice and Blank Filling.
    ==================================
    (1) The question distance from the question number is too small. The questions is too close to the gray line.
    You can either increase the distance or check whether getting rid of “all” division lines will get you the breathing space I miss.
    Alternatively, getting rid of the line between alternatives will offer a clear, minimalist design. Although I like it, it is a personal choice.

    (2) The box that brings the “Grade Boundary” result adds an extra paragraph space in the end of the text.

    (3) When I show one question per page in the 50-question quiz, the test works as expected.
    When the report is shown on screen,…
    3.1 The report takes an eternity to load.
    3.1. It displayed originally 4 answers and a long blank sheet. After some time (long time) the report was fully loaded. The users will get confused and think this is a glitch, or something went wrong with their tests,
    3.2. The admin report (/wp-admin/options.php?page=ek-user-attempt&attemptID=138) is perfect.
    3.3 I still got 50 emails informing a user had taken the quiz.
    =======================
    Blank filling Quizzes
    =======================
    (4) When the quiz is over, the final report includes the quiz instructions.

    =================================
    Multiple choice quizzes (single choice)
    =================================
    (5) Please check the persistent behavior that allows users to check two alternatives.
    (you’ll probably have to change answers more than once to replicate such behavior). This is happening on mobile devices. (didn’t have a chance to check on desktops.)

    I suppose this is a good starting point.
    All the best,
    Humberto

    Good morning, Alex.
    One more comment for your reference. The question boxes now have a transparent background. Previously, the boxes had bg color. I am unsure whether that’s a design choice or whether that’s the reason I can see the horizontal lines under the question number and alternatives.
    BW,
    Humberto
